Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has reacted to the news that he has risen to second place in the history of the Italian team in terms of the number of Grand Prix races he has participated in (154).
İdman.Biz reports that only the legendary Michael Schumacher (180) has more.
"It's strange. I still feel very young; I remember my first season at Ferrari like it was yesterday, but it's a special feeling. I love this team and grew up within it even before I was a Ferrari driver in Formula 1. I was part of the youth program, so they saw me grow not only as a driver, but also as a person.
So driving for this team is special. But I don't want to be remembered as the most experienced Ferrari driver. I want to be remembered as a world champion with Ferrari, and I haven't achieved that yet. That's what I'm focused on.
To be honest, I didn't even know about this statistic. I'm not aiming to take the most starts. I just want to win the world championship. I work for it every day and I hope that day will come," RacingNews365 quotes Leclerc.
