"I really like typewriters, as well. I don't have one with me 'cause that is really impractical. The thing is with typewriters and writing with pen to paper, there's a kind of an element of like, commitment, that goes with the ceremony of it, therefore it requires you to concentrate a bit better. So, I think it's important to have a book. It's mainly like, stories that I write about my dreams of being in love with other popstars."

title: you ask the questions: charles leclerc source: stuart codling, gp racing uk format: article (interview) season: 2018, f1

Now listen very carefully: Ferrari’s latest star signing might not be afraid of Sebastian Vettel, but he’s not keen on snakes – and neither is he very sure of what to make of that ‘Allo ‘Allo meme that’s doing the rounds… “Brrrrrr!” says Charles Leclerc, on a chilly late afternoon in a São Paulo that’s enveloped in grey and pendulous cloud. Cruelly denied a coat by our photographer, Charles hastens from the back of the Sauber garage to the welcoming environs of the team unit as soon as his duties are concluded. Glenn, our snapper, replaces a lens cap and shakes his head ruefully. “You can’t treat ’em like kids,” he says. “Otherwise it starts with you letting them wear a coat and ends with you having to take all the blue M&MS out of the bowl…” Perhaps in some cases, but Charles Leclerc is emphatically not cut from junior diva cloth. Though F1 star-wrangler Nicolas Todt has steered his career, Leclerc’s talent and singular determination has provided the momentum. There is not a hint of the silver spoon about his rise to prominence, and that comes across in the respectful politesse with which he unfailingly conducts himself. Now seated and beginning to thaw, Charles holds the question deck between finger and thumb and regards it with genuine surprise. “All these are from fans?” he asks, agog at how an F1 rookie could possibly generate so much interest. Well, there’s a reason for that…

What was it like to see yourself on the front cover of a magazine for the first time? Charles Leclerc: It was very cool. It’s a special moment to see yourself on something like that for the first time. What does the underside of Alonso’s car look like? CL: The underside? What’s the underside? [The penny drops] Ah! Yes, when he went flying over me [at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix]. I tell you, it happened so fast that I could barely see anything. I certainly wasn’t going to analyse it [technically]. It was def­initely black, but that’s the only thing I can say. F1 Racing: Surely, given their relative position in the championship, Sauber don’t have much to learn from Mclaren at the moment anyway… CL: Ah… [He glances in the direction of team PR Mia, who responds in startled fashion to F1R’S cheeky query. Charles giggles, though whether this is at the question or its ef­fect on his colleague is unclear]

In your company car, have you beaten the best commute times from Monaco to Modena set by Gilles Villeneuve and Jody Scheckter? CL: [Laughs again] Errrrr… no! I’m not so quick on the road. F1R: In your position, you need to be responsible. CL: Def­initely. F1R: Were you aware there was a record each of them tried to break? CL: To get to the grand prix? F1R: To get to the Ferrari factory when Enzo rang up. They’d say, “Okay, be there in five minutes…” CL: [Laughs] For sure, I could never get to the factory that quickly. I’m not really racing on the road.

Is there any circuit you would love to see added to the F1 calendar? CL: Laguna Seca. Even though it’s very… yeah, I don’t think F1 could go there in reality.

F1R: The run-off at the Corkscrew isn’t very wide, and there’s a cliff on the other side. CL: Yeah? That would make it more, er, challenging… F1R: According to folklore, the corner is how it is because they were driving the bulldozer along, got to the edge of the drop, and then just turned left. CL: Nice story. But is it true?

What is your biggest fear? CL: Oh, snakes. F1R: Is it the creepy dryness of the scales, or their rasping forked tongues that creep you out? CL: I don’t really know – I’m just not liking these animals.

F1R: Have you ever actually encountered a snake? CL: I did, in Australia. Haven’t you seen the pictures? I have it all round my neck. [He shudders at the memory] You’ll have to ask the Sauber people why they did it…

What was the first car you drove? CL: I really shouldn’t say, because I was quite young!

What is your favourite childhood memory with Jules Bianchi? CL: Probably every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at his track. [Jules Bianchi’s father managed the kart circuit at Brignoles] That and his birthdays in Saint-Tropez. All the races we did together in karting. Fun times. F1R: Did you get to go to his party after he finished in the points in the Monaco Grand Prix? CL: No, I was too young, and in Monaco they’re quite strict with things like that.

contact

Emma and Daisy aren’t really sure what they’re getting into when they register for a class called “Major U.S. Directors, Minor Films,” but they know they weren’t expecting to watch Robert Zemeckis’s Contact. In the end, it was OK. Aside from the fact that poor Daisy blushed every time she had to look at Rob Lowe, they made it through. But by the end, all Emma could take away was boredom.

“I just don’t understand why we couldn’t have watched I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” she says. “Nobody’s ever seen that movie. I don’t even know if you’ve seen that movie.”

“When my grandmother went to London on business twelve years ago, I made her buy me every Beatles record at Harrods she could find,” Daisy says. “You think I haven’t seen that movie?”

“Right. Sorry.”

“No need. Anyway, I kind of liked it.”

“You say that about everything we’ve watched in this class.”

“Well, yeah. Because I know how to keep an open mind about stuff. I don’t go into every movie thinking I’m going to hate it. Unlike some people I know.”

Emma sighs over her empty bowl of popcorn.

“I like going into things with low expectations,” she says. “That way, I feel justified when the movie is bad, but if it’s good, I’m pleasantly surprised.”

“That is a sick way to live, my friend,” Daisy says. “Come on. Isn’t it fun to like things?”

“Of course it’s fun to like things. When they’re good and not just distractions from the goal.”

“What’s ‘the goal?’”

“I don’t know. It changes. Shifts. But whatever it is, I need to keep my eyes on it. I don’t need anybody else taking it from me.”

Daisy begins to laugh into her pizza.

“What?” Emma asks. “You know I only like to be funny on purpose.”

“Nothing, nothing,” Daisy says. “It’s just … you’re well aware that you sound exactly like Jodie Foster in the movie we just watched, right?”

Emma makes a face.

“I do not!” she says.

“Relax,” Daisy says. “It’s not a bad thing. You’re just … obsessively driven by a singular goal, whatever it is. And you don’t let anything hold you back. Not even if Rob Lowe is in the room.”

“OK, I don’t really think that’s the reason Jodie Foster’s not into Rob Lowe, but carry on.”

“It’s just … you’re always exactly who you are. You do exactly what you want to do, and you really don’t care about who likes it.”

“I can’t tell if you’re complimenting me or insulting me.”

“I’m obviously complimenting you.”

“It’s not obvious if I can’t tell!”

“Well, I’m complimenting you. So, accept it. It’s awesome that you’re so focused. That you’re always who you are. I’m not like that. I just absorb the personality of whatever movie I like most.”

“Is that why you still like to dress like Peter Fonda in Easy Rider?”

“The very reason.”

Emma takes another slice of pizza from the box. Maybe she’ll accept her fate as a goal-focused, too-intense kind of woman. In fact, she thinks she maybe kind of likes it. Her phone lights up with a text from her mother, wondering if she survived the minor Zemeckis film. Emma smiles with pepperoni between her teeth.

She learned it from the best.

"People don't change until it's too hard not to, you know? That's one thing that I've really realized. I think that the negotiation is difficult, isn't it? Of young to not so young, especially when… I mean, I think that song is about, kind of like… loneliness and guilt, and you know, having to make some kind of mistake… It's just, I think everybody has that feeling, do you know what I mean? You know, of having to learn from your mistakes, and having to learn that the things you really want, you're gonna find in the places that you least want to look, do you know what I mean? And I think that I tend to write a lot about guilt, and a lot about the things that I've done wrong not because I've done so many, but because I think like a lot of people, I dwell on those things, you know? As a person. Unfortunately, we let those things kind of define us, don't we? We're a very anxious bunch."
