Leclerc brothers make history: for the first time in the Formula 1 cockpit!

A historic moment is approaching: Charles Leclerc (27) and his brother Arthur, who is three years younger, will compete for Scuderia Ferrari in the first free training session in Abu Dhabi next Friday. The two brothers make history as the first siblings to ever drive together as teammates in a Formula 1 session. Charles has been active in the premier class of motorsport since 2019, while Arthur made his debut in Formula 2 last year and now has the opportunity to prove himself on the highest stage of motorsport. How Laola1 reports, all eyes are on this rare pair of siblings!

The brothers' relationship is one of both support and competition. Charles emphasizes that he is always there for Arthur when it comes to personal matters. But in racing he wants his brother to go his own way and learn independently. “It is important that he develops independently in this sport,” said Charles. Both brothers share their experiences: Arthur follows his brother's Formula 1 races on television and gives him valuable insights from his perspective in the cockpit. This was also done by Ferrari highlighted, which explains the special dynamic between the two.

However, despite the brotherly bond, there is also a natural competition. Charles noted that their relationship is typical of siblings who are close to each other: "The relationship is the normal kind of relationship between brothers. We were always in competition with each other, especially when we were younger." This ambition and healthy rivalry could lead to exciting scenes during training on Friday as the Leclerc brothers put their talents to the test.
