Charles Leclerc isn’t scared at 230mph. He’s terrified watching his younger brother race.
In this clip, Charles Leclerc and Jay Shetty talk about the day he lost his father in 2017, three days before a Formula 2 race in Baku, and the only question he asked himself before getting on the flight.
Charles opens up about the two words his father repeated to him from the age of six, why being harsh with yourself is a strength but putting yourself down isn’t, and how you reset your mind in the one second between corners.
Learn about the lie he told his father two days before he passed away, and why it took him a month to make peace with it.
