Charles Leclerc’s Emotional Tribute to His Late Godfather, Jules Bianchi
Before Charles Leclerc crossed the finish line first in his home race, tears were already welling up in his eyes. The driver later admitted that he was thinking of his late father and his late godfather, Jules Bianchi – the French F1 driver who tragically lost his life in a crash during the 2015 Japanese Grand Prix. In honor of his godfather, Leclerc gifted the Bianchi family a special helmet after his victory in Monaco.
Leclerc’s Special Helmet: A Tribute to Jules Bianchi
Philippe Bianchi, the father of the late driver, shared a photo on Instagram with the helmet that Leclerc wore during the last Japanese Grand Prix. The Monegasque driver had a special design made for that race, inspired by the designs of his late godfather. It was, after all, the 10-year anniversary of Bianchi’s fatal accident on the Japanese track. Following Leclerc’s recent triumph in Monaco, he found the time to present the helmet to the Bianchi family.
Philippe Bianchi’s Gratitude for the Special Gift
In his post, Philippe thanked the driver for the special gift. “Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Jules,” the caption reads. “Our family wants to congratulate you on your fantastic victory in Monaco. I am sure that Hervé (Leclerc’s father) and Jules are very proud of you. Not only as a driver, but also as a man.”
