Charles Leclerc crashed Niki Lauda’s iconic £1 million Ferrari car from 1974 after driving it around the track in Monaco. The day was set to be a special one for the Monacan Star, driving the car of one of his heroes around his own home city.
The memorable moment soon turned sour, as the 24-year-old lost control of Lauda’s legendary car and drove into the track-side wall. Leclerc has enjoyed a super start to the 2022 campaign, with the Ferrari man currently leading the way in the driver standings by 19 points.
His hot form in Ferrari’s modern car clearly did not transfer over when driving one of their traditional models though, leaving the 24-year-old mortified.
