Charles Leclerc saw the start to his Las Vegas GP with a pole position and starting ahead of Max Verstappen, however, a tiny incident with Zhou Guanyu brought out the sass in him as he was heard commenting on the Chinese driver’s skills on the radio.
While the Las Vegas GP was quite interesting and started in the most dreadful way possible, Lecelerc had his humor to help him get by. Carlos Sainz started his race from the back with a hefty grid penalty which was ruled out as unfair by many drivers while the teams insisted it was the right decision.
Meanwhile, Sainz left Mercedes in the dust following their remarks and George Russell became a part of yet another joke after turning into Max Verstappen. Nonetheless, this did not stop the driver from winning his 18th race this season, however, Leclerc was fighting his very own battle right behind Zhou.

The sassy comment caught the attention of many while the commentators joked about the incident saying, “It’s seven minutes to four Charles. Have a heart.” Nonetheless, the driver luckily survived it and Leclerc grabbed his podium.
Charles Leclerc gets completely ignored by a kid after an insane P2 win
Charles Leclerc has become a huge personality and has made his own name in the F1 community, although his charms and his passion for the sport have been the driving force behind it, his music and other skills have also played an important role.
However, the driver might not be as cool or famous as he may have thought. As his Las Vegas GP came to an end with “at least a P2”, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and could add yet another podium win to his season end. After a chaotic end to a very chaotic weekend, the driver walked back to the Ferrari building when he spotted a kid walking past.

Being the generous and kind person that the Monegasque is, the driver quickly waved at the young boy as he walked past, however, the reaction he received surprised him. The young boy gave little to no reaction as he looked at the driver dumbfounded and instantly looked away as he went about his day.
With no idea who he had encountered, the kid did not seem bothered while Leclerc’s smile quickly faded away. Nonetheless, the driver had his shiny new trophy to lift up his mood again.
