Charles Leclerc... he can race on the razor edge of perfection, he can go wheel-to-wheel against the very best at 300+ kph, he can win a grand prix with the throttle stuck at 30%, he can overtake on the outside of Copse, but he definitely cannot park a fucking car to save his life. 🫣
Oh boy, this is a long one.
1. Our most recent display - struggling to park next to a smart car, that's right, a smart car (January 31, 2023):
2. Parking crooked beside the no parking sign at the grocery store (January 29, 2023):
3. A trifecta fail of parking A) in the intersection, B) on the pedestrian crosswalk, and C) on the sidewalk (March 1, 2022)... I'm speechless:
4. Parking half of his car in Lando's space (Canada 2022):
5. It's possible that no one has ever informed him the pedestrian crosswalk/intersection is not a parking spot (August 21, 2021): 😭
6. Missing the spot when there are literally zero cars beside him (July 11, 2022):
7. A fan recount of Charles attempting to park in Melbourne before giving up altogether (Australia 2022):
8. Parking fail 6 years ago... yeah, not much has changed since then:
9. Parking within the lines is... not within his ability (examples - many):
10. There are goddamn lines, Sharl (July 16, 2023):
11. UPDATE - How many attempts does it take to parallel park? 😭 (March 13, 2024 via martiverre)
In conclusion, I can't believe this bitch has a super license but parks like this and doesn't get his ass towed every other day. 🙈

“I get to see Charles and spend more time with him when we’re both in Maranello, where we attend more meetings together or get lunch with Fred. We also have a bit more time to talk about other things, or to do some review work and talk about the team since we share the same vision about things. During races, if there’s the time for a padel game we call Lando or some other driver as well and we play. Then on track you attend so many events or do so many interviews together that of course there’s a very good relationship, and that’s the most important thing to me, that we have a good relationship, as well as a professional one by always putting Ferrari first. I must say that we’ve spent some very good moments together and we’ve laughed together a lot, like when you watch our interviews, I think we have a very good relationship as teammates.”
This translation kinda sucks but that’s the best I could do for now
