Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc has marked a significant off-track achievement by surpassing one million subscribers on his personal YouTube channel. He received a gold plaque to commemorate the milestone, as shared by a YouTube executive. The channel, now at 1.47 million subscribers, features behind-the-scenes content from his racing life and personal interests.
Charles Leclerc, the Monegasque driver for Ferrari, has reached 1.47 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, which offers viewers glimpses into his race weekends, piano performances, off-season activities, and ventures like his CL 16 brand. To celebrate crossing the one-million mark, Google and YouTube's Dan Oros posted an Instagram photo of Leclerc holding a gold subscriber plaque.
The channel's top video, a vlog titled 'Charles Leclerc: 24 Hours in Monaco (Day in the Life)', has garnered 10 million views. Close behind are a 48-hour training session with the French Air and Space Force at 3.6 million views, and behind-the-scenes footage from his 2024 Monaco Grand Prix home victory, with 3.4 million views.
Leclerc's online presence extends beyond YouTube, boasting 22.4 million Instagram followers, 4.6 million on TikTok, and 3.6 million on X. This milestone arrives as he gears up for the 2026 Formula 1 season, introducing new regulations. Ferrari launched its SF-26 car on January 23, prompting Leclerc to post on Instagram: "The first day of a new era. Next stop is Barcelona for the first official tests of the season."
The team plans private testing in Barcelona soon, followed by sessions on February 11-13 and 18-20. The season opener is the Australian Grand Prix from March 6-8.
