For the first time in the history of Formula 1, two brothers will drive together in the same team.
One Leclerc can hide another at Ferrari. In the shadow of Charles Leclerc, his little brother Arthur will jump into the deep end of Formula 1 on Friday during the first free practice session for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The 24-year-old driver, who climbed the “classic” ranks to get here (Formula 4, Formula 3, test driver in Formula E, Formula 2) is today the development driver of the “Scuderia” . Member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, Arthur Leclerc will therefore have his chance in F1 by replacing the Spaniard Carlos Sainz on Friday. Before, a priori, participating in winter testing at the wheel of the SF24.
Great first
On the United Arab Emirates circuit, Monegasques Charles and Arthur Leclerc will make history by becoming the first siblings to drive together in the same team in F1. A nice symbol also made possible by the FIA regulations, which oblige each squad to field a “rookie” at least twice during the season.
