i don’t know how to say it any other way. but i watch a LOT of sports. i come from a heavily sports-watching family and we get interdisciplinary with it lmao. and charles leclerc is my favorite athlete of all time, and will be for the rest of my life. what does it even mean for him to consider himself ‘hard to support’ in the face of how much we adore him.
i remember last season, and i wish i could remember what race, but it was nearing the end of the season when it was all too evident the situation with the sf-25 wasn’t gonna get any better. charles got a podium and in his wrap up video for the day he dedicated the podium to his fans and he said he was sorry that this season hadn’t been what we’d hoped it would be but that he was grateful for how we had stuck around and that he continued to work very hard to give us small achievements we could smile about.
and anyway. i can’t draw out all the words stuck in my throat about what that means to me as a fan of him but also just as someone who’s followed the public personas of many athletes. this is a man who has never for one second turned disparaging of his support. i’m never going to find a better driver to support than charles leclerc. forza charles today and always.
