Hailing from a family that didn’t have a strong financial foundation, it was tough for both Leclerc brothers to pursue racing. Thus, their father Herve decided that Charles would be the one to continue racing, meaning Arthur had to give up on his dream for some time.
Having since become one of F1’s best drivers, it was only fitting for Charles to return the favor somehow. As such, when the opportunity came to sponsor his younger brother, the 26-year-old did not back down. ‘Lec’s contribution will go a long way in helping the team out, especially taking the finances behind running a GT3 team into account.
Entering a team in the competition requires a payment of $128k, with a per-car registration of nearly $82k for a full season. Plus, one GT3-spec Ferrari 296 (car) costs $800k; a team needs two.
Staff, tires, spare parts, and insurance add to the operating costs. Overall, a team has to arrange somewhere between $850k and $1.2 million (plus the cost of the car) to compete in one season of GT3.
Through Lec ice cream, Charles will contribute to these expenses, allowing his brother to race. The gesture touched the hearts of the fans, who appreciated the elder brother’s commitment to helping out his sibling.
Fans react as Charles Leclerc becomes a sponsor for Arthur Leclerc
The ‘Lec’ logo will be placed right above the Ferrari logo on Arthur’s GT3 car. For Charles too, it will be good promotion since he launched his brand not too long ago. Social media shows just how much the fans appreciate the Ferrari driver helping Arthur out.
Let go by the Ferrari Driver Academy in late 2023, Arthur Leclerc remained a part of the Ferrari family. In January earlier this year, the team announced him as part of Scuderia Baldini 27’s driver lineup. The Monegasque joined the team alongside Antonio Fuoco and David Rigon as the team’s development driver.
Arthur’s duties included logging in hours on the simulator and giving feedback on how to improve. Additionally, should the need arise, Arthur Leclerc can also jump in as an F1 driver.
