What a story. Someday he will be a world champion, no doubt. He will make what Jules sadly couldn't. C'mon Charles :')
Im so proud of you making that video for Jules
Lo mismo que mi tocayo. Ese video de Jules fue fantástico
I wouldn't say that Jules couldn't. Jules was never given the chance. Very sad...
Efeuno incredible history
Efeuno Sorry to burst the bubble but not every young promising driver will become world champion in F1. There's alot of factors which you mostly can't control yourself. Also, they make it seem very dramatic but the truth is, many people are going through many many more issues and tragedies than Leclerc even at his age, so to be fair it's not that special.
Belgian GP 2019, another tragedy and another triumph.

This video struck more heavily now that he lost another loved friend, it seems this driver is very spiritual and unbreakable, something F1 has never seen before.
He didn't learn from the death of Anthoine
@@jamin4039 Well, he certainly got determination.

The win in spa is for hubert, his dad and jules, they will be very proud of him
About his F1 Championship too...
Soon
, his future first F1 Championship.
And now the season is gonna start in July which makes me pissed
@@snyper-f1 still waiting, unfortunately
This guy won TWO Races right after his father died. In F2, the second race is in REVERSE starting order, meaning if you win the first race you start at 8th on the second one... go figure. This guy will be a future champion. guaranteed
LeXx0r I feel like it'll be a dominance (once he's settled into the car) and finally Ferrari will have a massive challenge to throw down to Mercedes. I reckon that it won't be so much Vettel vs Hamilton, it could very well be Hamilton vs Leclerc.
@@Ward1706 you're absolutely right, if it wasn't for the MGU-H failure this week, Charles would have been the winner of the Bahrain GP. His pace is incredible, hopefully he will become a World Champion in the near future.
He managed to *Chop* everyone in qualifying as well
LeXx0r oh shut the fuck up you deluded fanboy he won’t even win a race
@@madaboutf1707 Bahrain GP little Mercedes fanboy
@@madaboutf1707 Say again?
Just came here to say, Charles won the 2022 Bahrain GP and is off to a great start for this season. I think he'll definitely be one of the competitors for the championship this year and he has definitely come a long way:)
Charles will be the champion this year.
He is the best racer in a car matching his skill ! Max already have mechanical issues and Hamilton seems to have difficulties with his car. Russel is maybe a threat but Leclerc already have more points than them.
No doubt he will be the world champion this year !
@@sylvahno7370 He is dominating to this point. If Red Bull can't overcome their issues he will be champion for sure
It’s early days lads.
Ferrari could have a few mechanical failures of their own, but being a Red Bull fan from Vettel’s days there I’m hopeful for Charles WDC this year. BringBackThe80’sF1Racing not the boring Hamilton era. I’m British
@@sylvahno7370 this didnt age well so far

I know. I changed my mind
6 years after his debut, he has achieved his dream and has won in his homeland. ❤❤❤❤
omg what a story this is, his dad must be proud as well as Jules, we miss him and Manor so much... :(
Jules never will be gone. he always lives in our memories, and I'm sure he is proud of Charles having finally debut. I once had placed Jules as future champion and when I saw for first time Leclerc drive, he got to that same list. now we can wait to see what this wonder kid will do ;)
Cynderfan35 yeah Charles has a great future ahead, just sad how it all happened with Jules
M. Schumacher also in a bad situation, we didn't forget him either
To be honest Manor died when John Booth and Graeme Lowden left. At least the real Manor is still racing in WEC in LMP2 even if it's not in F1 anymore.
Phone Industry yeah imagine what jules could do in f1 right now if he is still around. But, at least we wouldn't have to see another rivalry that destroy a lifelong friendship like Lewis and Nico.
Virgin, Marussia, and Manor were actually different teams with different management. Yeah I miss Manor, but it's because I wanna see Rio driving it again.
yesterday he had his first victory...right after the death of his childhood friend anthoine hubert ....
It was also his 34th race start, which happened to be exactly how many Jules had before his death.
Charles Leclerc grew up in a very different way, he is racing not because he wants to do it for fun but because he wants the people who trust him and depend on him to be proud of him and knew they can count on Charles, I know one day he will stand tall on the podium finishing 1st and walking home not just being a normal driver who wins a race but as a WORLD CHAMPION, you got this Charles we are counting on you🏆
Don’t be so naive
@@Boomhauersdad you never know what happens in the future
this kid has the potential to be the next big thing given the right team
Amonfobious with Ferrari i think he can do some good things
He'll take Kimi's place when he retires. Just needs more experience.
Leevi4th For sure
That Ferrari will be perfect for. him
Most exiting news ever since freaking senna won Brazil in ‘91, CHARLES WILL BE WITH FERRARI IN 2019 HE WILL WIN GP’S AND COMPETE FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS, HE WILL MAKE HISTORY, AND MORE THAN SURE HIS DAD AND JULES WOULD BE MORE THAN PROUD
Bianchi, his dad then Hubert, Leclerc has had so much tragedy at such a young age, he still seems so incredibly upbeat all the time, the guy must have so much strength
I hope he wins the championship this year. Nobody deserved it like him and he would be the perfect driver to finally win a championship for Ferrari 🤧
It looks very unlikely now😢
2022 and he's winning races for Ferrari! What a way to go man! 🔥♥️
Woooooooooow
and he might win the championship this year too
@@Darkthebest he is in the lead
@@pewdiepiesmosh2055 lool didnt age well
Looking at photos of Jules makes my heart ache. This guy finally won his first Grand Prix two days ago, but it feels as though for him to get a bit of happiness, he has to be riddled with heartbreak. This win wasn’t something he’d ever celebrate in his life. My heart reaches out to this guy, he just can’t seem to have a break from tragedy, but yet he’s one of the coolest, most composed drivers on the grid. That’s incredibly admirable. Rest in peace, Anthoine.
Just won Monaco 🕊️🕊️
And now, 1 year later, he took pole at Bahrain for Ferrari... well done man. Well freaking done.
Gabi Stanciu for thé Austrian gp too

@@jaitendevjani u mean after grosjean crash?
@@sathvikreddy591 Yes. Great to see grosjean is fine 🙏
So, basically, the base of Leclerc's driving is Jules one. What a teacher he was. #JB17
Alonso fan7 Jules Will live on through charles
playfast321 Actually on Charles's helmet on the sides he has #JB17
Who is jules
@@logiic8835 I don’t know F1 well but I know he was the most recent fatality in the F1 sport. From what I saw there was a machine taking a destroyed car off the track and Jules lost control and went underneath that machine killing him.
@@merety91 thx
A beautiful inspiration to follow your dreams... RIP Jules ... Good Luck Charles Leclerc
Daphne Ham Same here too. I almost cried when I heard that Jules had passed away. 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
When Perez came 3rd last year at Mexico GP, Charles called at his home to congratulate him and he said to Perez
"Checo, you don't know how happy it made me to see your parents celebrate like that; tears came to my eyes, I would have loved my father to see me.'"
Perez father, who is the one who revealed this conversation, said "I had no idea Charle's father had passed away"
Broke my heart when I heard this.
So random, what does Checo and Charles have in common?
@@deakksyy They both love racing
❤😢🙏
Checo happened to be close to Jules in their days at the Ferrari driver academy.
I will be back to this video and relive this when Charles wins his first F1 Championship in 2022. Vamos Charles! Forza Ferrari!
hmmpp
:((
I wish…💔
Maybe 2026
I have seen this video like 10 times and it still brings tears in my eyes. I have been following Charles from his f2 season and I saw the race where his dad passes away. Yet he drove like a champ. He sure will become a champ and a legend. It’s not much far away. From a fan to Charles.
He has already lost three important people in his life, two to racing, yet he never gave up. That's amazing.
He just won here in Melbourne, and will surely be challenging to be world champion very soon. Despite his huge success he comes across as very grounded and a genuinely nice person, and I for one wish him every success.
If you're watching this in 2022, you can appreciate better where he's coming from and how proud his father and his mentor Jules would be today seeing him triumph. I can only imagine what he must be going through for not having them in his better days...He is such a great talent, and undoubtedly the future of F1
He needs to get three championships now, one for his Dad, Jules, and Hubert.
And senna
and then 3 more for himself :)
Well done Charles...they would both be proud of you, hopefully you will be champion for them this year... 2022 👏
Here's after Charles win in Monza.
Here after Melbourne 2022. Unhappy he came second at Jeddah, Charles DOMINATED The Aus GP. The Charles Leclerc Era is here!
i'm posting this comment in 2022, right after the season opener in bahrain. charles leclerc will be champion.

Wow you should be a comedian
Thanks, I will try to be funny but usually I'm not. I guess I will make a great stand-up comedian
Where'sTheSpaceMan?

This video is on my UA-cam recommend
The kid knows how to keep on his word, What a true class for an F1 racer.
Yaaassss me #JB17
This guy is Legend.
What a devastating result for him but he has a long long way to go, he's once in a decade talent for sure!
I am so proud of Charles. His day will come, he is going to be a World Champion.
5 months in, and I can confirm his days are here. he is winning races with Ferrari now....
And look him right now, unstoppable with Ferrari, I’m sure Jules and his father are so proud of him as all of us. ❤️
Watching this now makes me cry
Now an F1 winner. You have made so many people proud Charles. Jules, Herve, Anthonie H and the other legends up there are smiling 💖💖😭
Anyone here after belgium grand prix 2019? The dream is alive Charles , World champion 2021. 😊
I didn’t know this tragedies..I’m very sorry about it
Wow what a story. Never knew Charles had such an emotional past . Never knew he and JB17 were close friends . Knew of his father passing while he was in F2 . This young man is remarkable . Hats off Charles . RIP Herve RIP Jules JB17 🇫🇷🇫🇷 .
With respect from 🇷🇺🇷🇺
For a 21 year old driver, he is scarier and tougher than most veterans. Purely fueled and surrounded by tragedy.
How could you not like him?
they need to make a movie about this guy, he is the future world champion im sure
Thank you for your win today Charles.You did it for Anthoine Hubert who's smiling and in a much better place and for Jules. R.I.P Anthoine Hubert and Jules Bianchi
Charles is phenomenal ..!
Amazing talent ..
One of the best likable personality.
After today’s Bahrain race and after watching this video, I am a leclerc fan. I hope he gets to be champion. The young lad is sooooo talented
Man!! For a 24 year old guy to handle so much pf grief of losing many of his well wishers and companions an a tender age, it is very difficult. Now in 2022, I wish he wins the Championship this year and become another great of this motorsport world....All the best Charles, the world is waiting for your triumph....
Karting superstar, to blitzing the junior formula categories, getting into the Ferrari Driver Academy, impressing in his rookie F1 season with a lower tier team, advancing to the most famous team in F1's history, coping with the pressure of being a Ferrari driver, and finally winning his first Grand Prix. All that's left is for him to become World Champion and he'll make his Dad, Jules, and Anthoine prouder than ever. Congratulations Charles, you have some seriously proud guardian angels watching over you now. He deserves every good thing that comes his way.
I came back to this video just to write this comment beginning of 2022 season;
I think your father and Jules will be even more proud of you when you get World Champion title!
Fingers crossed!
god damn ninjas cutting onions
Davai
Too many onions.....
This made me love him even more, just wish him and jules could have driven the ferrari together😢
I just stumbled on this video. After all that tragedy he has had, I just hope he wins the WDC one day. He just seems like the nicest, kindest kid. He deserves it
Just signed for Ferrari. Jules and his father would be so proud :,)
Who is watching after Bahrein GP? Jules and Herve were proud of him watching from the sky.
Very cool video! I recently lost my father and that race in Baku was jaw dropping. To do what he did was just unbelievable... Charles is a strong man and champions are strong people. Charles already has an incredible story, let's keep our eye out on him and always remember Jules 👍
Watching this in 2024. 🥺😍 Congrats, Charles! 💗
2022 world champion 🏆 Charles
Charles & Arthur LeClerc would make their father & Jules very proud for their F3 & F1 achievements ... Stay Safe & Stay Grateful! 🌷🌿🌍🇫🇷

And now he is going to win a championship
You can do it Charles! Forza!
Very emotional , brilliant piece
This is so sad and inspiring. I wish him a bright future in F1!

This kid has lot of future, I want to be un F1 but I'm a little late but still the dream is stronger everyday. I hope oneday drive in F1 with all the legends and god helping me
Peak Angle never give up from your dream! Try to make it happen
Thanks alot!!
But getting in motorsport without money is almost impossible but anyways I'm still fighting for race with the champions ;]
Peak Angle i was absolute the same as you i dont want to in f1 all i want is racing or rally or something but im 12 years old i dont have money and im too late to begin karting😐😥😥😖
F1 Fan Hungarian You’re not man, I wish I did start when I was younger (18 now), you can still race in DTM or something like that if you start now and if you’re good enough of course! Work hard for it, never give up
Yeah me too, why not do you get a work? Thats what I do to buy my kart
Always follow your dreams!!
Hope you luck ;)
Anyone here after he got the pole position in Austria 2019?
Yes
You bet
I cant believe people disliked it, YOU HAVE NO HART.
Only recently been following Charles’ story but damn I love the kid already. Can’t wait to see him and Max battling it out in years to come going to be amazing
❤💯
This hits harder after him taking his first win after losing Anthoine 😭 he is amazingly headstrong!
Okay. That's it. This guy's now my favourite driver. Couldn't decide on one since Alonso left.
And he's back
2024 Monaco GP! He just won it with Ferrari! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I will never forget Interlagos 2013 when it rained nonstop, very hard for all free practice sessions. Hardly anyone went to the track because of the dry weather forecast for qualifier and for the race (as indeed it was), but I remember clearly the only one driver that did countless laps, for each one of the practice sessions, the only guy the audience saw, basically for the three free practice sessions was Jules Bianchi in a very basic Marussia doing lap after lap. At the time, most Brazilians attending those practice sessions could not help but think of Ayrton Senna, who as a teenager 40 years before, also took to the track (the kart track, meters away) deliberately, when it rained hard, just to practice and to improve his skills. We all thought this was exactly what Bianchi was doing. I was wondering how special it would be to have Bianchi and Leclerc as teammates in Ferrari right now. Two young drivers who are so interconnected, two amazing talents. No doubt Ferrari would be giving Mercedes a run for their money, much more than what is happening now.
Charles Leclerc is the future!
Who else is watching after Lelerc got his first pole? This guy is composed and super cool
Italian and Belgian gp, 2 wins in a row. What a legend!
I know, 2 wins in a Row! Never saw that before. GOAT.
Hoping Leclerc can earn some points with Sauber. Good luck Charles 😉😉
Leonardus Noveano He did already.
And here we are now :)
Some points (:
Look at him now :)
The picture with Arthur, Charles, Jules, and more, Charles put that pic out on instagram. Oh man, what a warrior he is.
Who is here after the Monaco GP?
Yesss
Finally no comments about Halo, Hamilton asserting dominance, and Bottas smashing it.
Stay strong Charles.
and you had to come along
Dominance yeah?
Isn't this a comment about all three of those things... you dumb af bro
Hahah, you think you're smart by saying this. Well, how do you want someone to write this comment without writing about it? You think I'm dumb? I'm at university here in Switzerland, so gtfo.
Just don't write the damn comment
And that's why I am a Leclerc fan, because he deserves it the most!!
Charles Leclerc 2022 F1 World Champion!
Respect for charles🙏🏽
You’re great
You’re a legend
You’re powerful
You’re passionate
You’re a fighter
You’re risky
You’re strong
You are an athlete of the most intense sport
You are an f1-driver
You are Charles Leclerc🏎💪🏼
Good luck in the 2018 season, you can do it🙌🏼
So young and yet a lifetime of grieve behind him. It can only get better for him from now on at Ferrari.
Very serious talent flourishing here.
His mental strength is so strong. I love he just keeps going even after all these tragedies. So much respect for this young guy🧡🧡
A guy who can internally self motivate himself in isolation (like Alonso, Schumacher, Senna and Hamilton) can never be down for too long and will always come back strong. Charles has that quality in him.
I thought Vettel had that quality too but he seems unable to rebound and constantly makes mistakes. He dwells way too much on down moments and cant overcome them.
Jules will always be rememberd❤
Touching and impressive, I guess I'm a fan now.
he did it. finally. genuinely one of the few drivers worthy of becoming a word champion
So proud seeing how far he’s come in ferrari now❤️❤️Such a talented driver who has overcome so much and we hope to see him winning a lot more f1 races in the near future (maybe tomorrow😉)
WoW before this video I doesn't now anything about him but I think he is a real fighter and he will do everything to make his father and Jules proud.
(Sorry for bad english)
Lusor___Alex Nah mate, your English is good and it's the thought that counts
What a story. Life is indeed a great writer. He also fulfilled his and Jules' dream and became a part of Ferrari this year. Then one week ago he lost his childhood friend and the next day he had to race on the same track where Anthoine died. And he won.
Now he broke the silence and won the Italian Grand Prix, after nine years, and it's still just his rookie year in Ferrari.
And this is still the beginning. One day, he will become a champion, which will finish this story, but will start the sequel.
And 2022 is a great start for him with 2/3 wins and a podium
Imagine what Charles would've been if Jules was still in f1
This is great!!
Thank you
Had no idea he knew Jules. I'm supporting him even more now, because I feel he bares the journey Jules was making until his tragic passing. Charles is like the heir of both Jules and his late father, and he will work hard to make them both proud.
He's already performing incredibly well for Alfa-Sauber, I'm sure it won't be too long until he sings with a superior team.
Fascinating and tragic story, I wish Charles all the best in Formula 1.
I‘m crying
Who's here after he got pole position at Bahrain
Future World Champion.
I’m not crying your crying 😢 definitely my second favourite driver and my favourite of the new young guys
Amazing job Charles!! First win in F1, a painfull one, it just shows how strong Charles is. Well Done!!
Keep pushing
