Through his social networks, Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc asked his fans to respect their privacy. According to what he said, for several months, the address of his residence in Monaco became public knowledge.

Leclerc states that this information leak has led to people "gathering downstairs" at his apartment, ringing the bell and asking for photographs and autographs.

"While I'm always happy to be there for you and really appreciate the support, please respect my privacy and refrain from coming to my house," he wrote in a statement on his Instagram account. The text was shared in both English, French and Italian.

The Monegasque driver, who in the most recent Australian GP had to retire without having completed the first lap, assured that he will continue to stop when he is greeted on the streets or on the tracks. "However, I will not go down if they visit my house," he said.

And he concluded: "Your support, both in person and on social networks, means everything to me, but there is a line that must not be crossed."

Leclerc, 25, is one of the most po[CENSORED]r drivers on the Formula 1 grid. On Instagram, for example, he has more than 10 million followers.

He has had a very difficult start to the season, as he did not finish two of the three races that have been done so far. For this reason, he has only added 6 points.

In 2022, he finished second in the championship, after accumulating 308 points. The winner was Max Verstappen (454 points), from RedBull, who this year also leads the most important motorsport competition.

Next Sunday April 30 will be the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
