Charles Leclerc is a driver whose career has been forged in heartbreak and loss. While this may have been common for drivers of a certain vintage, the Monegasque stands out in this respect in the modern world of Formula 1.

This aspect of Leclerc’s character is tackled head on, with the opening chapters explaining his upbringing and the closeness of the ties he had built, before describing the losses of his godfather, Jules Bianchi, and his father, Herve Leclerc. Further tragedy would follow with the death of close friend Anthoine Hubert.
