No, it won't be Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen. To discover who represents the ideal for Charles Leclerc, we have to dig much deeper into time and history.
Scuderia Ferrari has never had a true role model, but it still looks up to two people with admiration:
"For many in the competition, a great example is Ayrton Senna, who is a true legend. And not only in terms of motorsport, for this reason I admire him and revere his work. I would have really liked to meet him and spend some time together. Unfortunately, this can no longer happen, but when I competed in Brazil, I visited the Senna foundation at Interlagos. I saw his cars, the helmets he competed with… I was very emotional, I don't deny it. Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be a racing driver, especially an F1 driver, all my time was consumed by that, I barely saw any racing, I don't have many memories of Ayrton.
"My other hero is, without a doubt, Jules Bianchi." - Leclerc recalled the driver who tragically died at a young age.
