Game news F1 24: Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) gives a lesson to 9 other competitors in the preamble to the Monaco Grand Prix
What’s better than preparing for the Monaco Grand Prix by racing a few days before? This is what driver Charles Leclerc, winner of an event organized by Electronic Arts on F1 24, must have said to himself.
Charles Leclerc wins Monaco before the race
The Monaco Grand Prix begins this Friday, May 24. Enough to complete the first third of the calendar for the 2024 season. If the latter is dominated by Max Verstappen (Red Bull), first in the general classification and winner of the first five races of the year, it is Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) who is literally expected in the Principality. The Monegasque, runner-up to the Dutchman, has never won at home. Eyes will therefore be on his performance this weekend after his good start to the season.
To warm up, Charles Leclerc was able to compete… virtually with other drivers on the Rocher circuit. During an event organized by Electronic Arts, ten athletes and influencers competed against each other on the F1 24 video game.
Among the candidates who accompanied Leclerc on the asphaltwe find personalities like Alex Albon (another F1 driver, 0 points in the standings), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (professional football player who plays for Olympique de Marseille) or Diogo Jota (football player for the English club Liverpool ).
F1 drivers who are players
A competition lasting an hour which sees two participants soar above the fray. These are obviously Charles Leclerc and Alex Albon, the only two professional F1 drivers who carry over their knowledge of the circuit to F1 2024. Something far from surprising, especially since the first is a regular of the genre. On Twitch during confinement, he organized several live sessions on F1 2019. Enough, perhaps, to maintain his knowledge of the road and circuits.
In the end, it was Charles Leclerc who won this event organized by Electronic Arts on F1 24. Fans of the saga will be able to, from May 31 get your hands on the new episode of the premier Formula 1 racing simulation. It would be fun to see Charles Leclerc win the final race next Sunday. He would really be following in the footsteps of Max Verstappen. Winner at Imola, he won for a few hours in the virtual version of the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring.
