Charles Leclerc today for the first time sat in the Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow car that he will drive during the 2019 season. In the morning, the Monegasque driver had a fitting to finalise the shape of the made-to-measure seat of his Formula 1 car.
While he was at the Gestione Sportiva, Leclerc took the opportunity to meet Director and Team Principal, Mattia Binotto. He also said hello to the rest of the team, with whom he will work for the first time at the forthcoming Barcelona test from 18 to 21 February. Leclerc will be the first driver from Monaco to race in Formula 1 for Scuderia Ferrari.
