‘My target is to become a world champion’: Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc on why he has his eyes on F1’s top prize
CNN
After years of near misses, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc tells CNN Sport that he’s aiming to become Formula One world drivers’ champion in 2025.
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again. It’s a saying that perhaps aptly describes Charles Leclerc’s pursuit of the Formula One holy grail: a maiden world drivers’ championship title. Season by season the Ferrari driver has steadily chipped away, inching closer and closer to fulfilling his childhood dream but never quite getting over the line. Second in 2022 and third last season, the laser-focused Monégasque now has his sights firmly set on becoming the sport’s top dog by winning the Italian outfit’s first world championship since 2007. “My target is to become a world champion,” he tells CNN Sport. “Obviously, last year, we finished second in the Constructors (Championship) and I want to win (it). But I want to win the world championship. This is my only dream and the only thing I’m working for.”
