In the press conference before the Chinese GP, the Ferrari driver was asked about Leo and how he is managing the puppy. Leclerc stated that though his family always had pet dogs, he never had one of his own. He added that he was delighted when he got the puppy for the first time.
"Yes, a dog. I've always had dogs within my family, but never had my own. And yeah, he joined last Monday and it's been great," Leclerc said.
Since Charles Leclerc frequently travels all around the globe and is busy with races, he was also asked who takes care of Leo when he is away. The Monegasque replied that whenever he is busy with F1, his girlfriend takes care of Leo. Otherwise, he too looks after his pet when he is home.
"My girlfriend, but I do take care of him when I'm at home," he added.
After winning the Monaco GP, Charles Leclerc is currently second on the 2024 F1 drivers' championship table with 138 points. He is currently chasing reigning world champion Max Verstappen who leads the table with 169 points.
