Charles Leclerc, Ferrari driver, has commented on how the diversification of his business interests is enriching his perspective as a Formula 1 racer. Although his projects outside the motor world are important, Leclerc insists that his priority remains achieving the world champion title.
Unlike other drivers who wait for retirement to explore business initiatives, Leclerc has started investing in various companies while continuing to compete. “99% of my time is dedicated to racing,” he stated in an interview with a partner of his investment, the sleep technology brand Eight Sleep.
The Monegasque driver specializes his dedication and passion in improving his performance, with the aim of being the best driver possible. In his words, “Racing is, and will continue to be, my priority until the last day of my career”.
Leclerc pointed out that his motivation to explore business comes from his love for creativity and human interaction. “Talking to people, bringing out the best in each is a passion I live”, he affirmed, emphasizing the importance of building a united team focused on a common goal, which is similar to the dynamics of sport.
His experience on karting tracks since childhood has helped him develop interpersonal skills that he holds in high regard. “I have learned to understand people, to make sure they are in the best environment to do their best work”, he explained.
Furthermore, Leclerc acknowledged that working in a business environment has made him a more open and receptive person to different perspectives, a lesson he also applies to his sporting career.
