Charles Leclerc will be hoping to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this season by clinching the
Canadian Grand Prix.
Most recent race
The Ferrari driver secured a podium spot at the Monaco Grand Prix on 26 May in his home country as he continued his good form in the 2024 campaign.
Leclerc started on the first grid and he maintained his lead until the end which saw him accumulate 25 important points from the race.
Formula One title ambitions
The 2016 GP3 Series championship winner is placed second on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 138 points.
Leclerc is 31 points behind leader, Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing as the two battle for this season's Formula One world title.
Why Leclerc could win the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix
The 2017 FIA Formula 2 Championship is arguably the most consistent driver in Formula One this season as he is yet to finish outside the top four.
Leclerc is in good form having secured a podium spot in three successive races and he will be eyeing his second consecutive victory this weekend.
What did he say?
"I can’t really explain how I feel. The race seemed to go on for ever, but maybe that made it even nicer," Leclerc said after winning the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix.
"Winning here means so much to me, because it’s the race that made me dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver when I was little. So I want to thank the people of Monaco, on the lap of honour I saw so many people on the balconies and I thank all of them for their incredible support.
