Charles Leclerc on how he combines racing and business

      Charles Leclerc's life has been dedicated to racing since childhood, but in recent years he has founded several companies, invested in business, and is actively engaged in entrepreneurship.

      Leclerc owns his own ice cream brand, a clothing line, a creative studio, a management agency, and his own line of racing go-karts. Recently, he invested in the company Eight Sleep – a manufacturer of "smart" mattresses – and believes that these interests do not harm his racing at all...

      Charles Leclerc: "99% of my time is dedicated to racing. I always think about racing and strive to achieve optimal results on the track. Until the end of my career, racing has been and will remain my top priority. My only goal is to become a world champion. That's all I've dreamed of and always aspired to.

      But I really enjoy creating something new, forming alliances with other people. It's great to build a team where everyone works together and shares a common goal – it's like in sports, where we all work towards achieving one goal. Working in a company, in a different environment, meeting people with different interests broadens my horizons. It makes me more open, and it doesn't interfere with racing at all."
