The Ferrari driver wants to spend as much time as possible at home between races, even if that means arriving at a circuit later than usual.
Charles Leclerc does not expect to miss any of Formula 1’s six remaining races this season. He and his wife Alexandra are expecting their first child, with the due date expected to fall during the season’s busy close.
Speaking on United States Grand Prix media day in Austin, the Ferrari driver said he would try to spend as much time as possible at home between races. He might arrive at a circuit later than usual.
“I don’t think I’ll miss a race,” Leclerc said. “But I will be doing the races on Sunday.”
The remaining schedule is two triple-headers, separated by one weekend off: the United States, Mexican and Brazilian Grands Prix first, then the Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix.
