Leclerc first got the taste of F1 car in the first practice session of the 2016 British Grand Prix.

It was rumoured in 2016 that if Leclerc won the GP3 Championship, he would join the likes of Valtteri Bottas and Daniil Kvyat to graduate to Formula One directly from GP3. Haas team principal debunked the myth by announcing that he would progress to Formula Two.

For 2017 season, he took part in the mid-season Hungaroring Test by driving the famous red Ferrari. He completed 98 laps on the first day but didn't drive on the second day. He was fastest on the clock on the first day.
