Formula 1: F1 Monaco GP Live: Ferrari’s driver Charles Leclerc who will be seen driving the F1-75 challenger on the streets of Monaco this weekend has claimed that dropping Monaco Grand Prix from the Formula 1 calendar would be a ‘bad move’ for the sport.

Leclerc stood by his stance on driving in Monaco and said, “I have never known Monaco without F1 apart from Covid reasons in 2020, and F1 without Monaco for me is not F1. F1 has some historic tracks like Silverstone and Monza – and Monaco, too, and they should stay on the calendar.”

“The races are so close. The danger, you can still feel it because you really have the sensation of speed, and in terms of qualifying it is probably the most exciting of the year. I agree in the races there are maybe some things we could change here and there to help overtaking. But in terms of challenge for the drivers it is one of the toughest challenges of the year,” Leclerc added.
It is always so special to drive in the streets of the city I grew up in.

The Ferrari driver has lived in Monaco for his entire life, and accepts the noteworthy track should stay on the schedule for quite a long time into the future. The Monegasque driver would be hoping for massive home support this weekend.

Meanwhile, he sits second in the Drivers’ standings after retiring his car at the Spanish Grand Prix due to a power unit issue. Moreover, in this process, he lost the lead at the top and even started the Spanish GP with a comfortable lead of 46 points.
However, things are not looking good for Leclerc as a curse looms over his head as his record in his home race is atrocious. In the Monaco Grand Prix, Leclerc has had two DNFs to his name and one DNS in the last three races at this iconic track.
