With the F1 season in the eagerly awaited Triple Header, it’s now off to the Styrian mountains. While the Styrian Grand Prix starts this weekend, Spielberg will host the Austrian Grand Prix this coming weekend.
After Leclerc had a dark excursion in France behind him, he made the short trip to the principality. During his time in his hometown, the 23-year-old was spotted playing a Ligue Nationale de Basket match between Monaco and Bourg-en Bresse. While Monaco won the game 91-72, the organizers released a tweet that Leclerc attended the game with girlfriend Charlotte Siné.
Later that day, Siné posted a short video of a ride with Leclerc after watching the game.
Although the Ferrari driver had a difficult race on Sunday, this trip to Austria could be just what he needed.

Can Leclerc recover in Austria?
The Monegasque finished a low P16 at Le Castellet, demonstrating Ferrari’s poor racing pace. Although he has two pole positions this season, he was unable to convert those pole positions into podium positions due to problems on Sunday.

Despite his difficulties in the last few races, he has a good track record in Austria. Leclerc took an impressive P2 in 2019 and lost to eventual winner Max Verstappen. In addition, Spielberg hosted a double headed ball last season. Although the Monegaske finished an impressive P2 in race one, it recorded a DNF in race two.
