Though he did not reveal which dish he loved the most, he hinted that people already knew what it was.

"This, however, doesn't stop me from indulging in some little forbidden pleasure, especially that of a food I adore. Maybe you've already figured out which one," he added.

During the winter season before the 2024 F1 season, Charles Leclerc posted two pictures of him eating ice cream in the snowy Austrian mountains.
