Brothers debut in Formula 1: Leclerc's write history in Abu Dhabi!

A historic weekend is imminent: In Formula 1, Charles and Arthur Leclerc will write history on Friday during the first free training of Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. For the first time ever, two brothers will compete as teammates in the premier class of motorsport for Ferrari. This gives the event a special grade, since the two can now present their diversity of talent as part of a Formula 1 team, as krone.at

The 27-year-old Charles Leclerc, who has been driving for Ferrari since 2019, will not be unnoticed, while his three-year brother Arthur will start in training for the established driver Carlos Sainz on Friday. This is done as part of a regulation that stipulates Formula 1 teams to give young drivers a chance twice a season. So far, Arthur has proven itself predominantly in the GT3 and LMP2 series and is part of Ferrari's development program, according to the reporting of laola1.at .

The peculiarity of the event

Although Arthur Leclerc has only taken the first steps into motorsport in his young career, his appearance in Abu Dhabi is considered a significant step. In Formula 2, where he made his debut in 2021, he did not achieve the desired success, but his commitment and support of his brother Charles could open up a new perspective. The younger Leclerc will also take part in the test drives in Qatar for Ferrari the following Tuesday, which gives him the opportunity to continue to prove itself in motorsport.

With the participation of the Leclerc brothers, not only a new dynamic is brought into the team structure of Ferrari, but also emphasizes the still lively tradition of motorsport, in which siblings (such as Michael and Ralf Schumacher or the Fittland brothers) were active at the same time. This historical event could be a symbol of the future promotion of talents in motorsport.
