Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, vice-champion of the 2022 season and a member of the Scuderia Ferrari HP team, recently shared photos on his social media accounts featuring himself next to a French military fighter jet, the Dassault Rafale.
The 27-year-old racer explained to his followers that he piloted the Dassault Rafale during the shooting for a documentary film.
What an incredible opportunity Canal+ gave me to drive a car like this. To be able to compare the sensation of speed with what I usually feel in a Formula 1 car was very special.
After 19 races in the 2024 season, the Monegasque driver stands in third place in the individual standings with 275 points, trailing only Dutch driver Max Verstappen (354 points) and British driver Lando Norris (297 points).
On September 6, RMC Sport reported that Leclerc was involved in a car accident in Monte Carlo after failing to navigate a turn that is part of the street circuit, resulting in a collision with another vehicle.
