No, it won't be Lewis Hamilton or even Max Verstappen. To understand who is the ideal for Charles Leclerc, we have to dig much deeper into time and history.
Scuderia Ferrari has never had a real role model for its young star, but there are two people he still looks up to today:
"In the paddock, many consider Ayrton Senna a great example, who is a true legend. And not only in terms of motorsport, that's why I admire him and revere his work. I would have loved to meet him and spend time together. Unfortunately, that will never happen, but when we raced in Brazil, I visited the Senna Foundation in Interlagos. I saw his cars, his helmets that he raced in... I was very emotional, I won't deny it. As long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a racing driver, especially an F1 driver, it consumed all my time, I saw few races, I don't have many memories of Ayrton.
My other hero, however, there is no doubt about who he is: you all know what a bond I have with Jules Bianchi." - recalled Leclerc, relative of the driver who tragically died at a very young age.
