Leclerc urges fans to respect his privacy amidst leaked home address

Charles Leclerc has taken to social media to request fans to stop visiting his Monaco residence, following the unfortunate leak of his home address.

The Ferrari driver expressed his concerns over the invasion of privacy as people have been gathering outside his apartment, seeking autographs and pictures with the racing star.

Leclerc, who frequently interacts with his supporters at the racetrack and on the streets, posted a heartfelt message on his Instagram story, explaining the situation and requesting understanding from his fans.

"Hey everyone, for the past few months, my home address has somehow become public, leading to people gathering beneath my apartment, ringing my bell, and asking for pictures and autographs," he began.

The Monegasque driver stressed that while he appreciates the unwavering support from his fans, he would no longer entertain people directly at his home.

Leclerc went on to say, "While I'm always happy to be there for you and I truly appreciate your support, please respect my privacy and refrain from coming to my house."

Charles Leclerc reassured his fans that he would still gladly stop for them when spotted on the streets or at the racetrack, but that there is a boundary that should be respected.

"I'll make sure to stop for everyone when you see me on the streets or at the track, but I won't be coming downstairs if you visit my home," he said.

Leclerc concluded his message by expressing gratitude for the ongoing support, both in person and on social media, while emphasizing the importance of privacy.

"Your support, both in person and on social media, means the world to me, but there is a boundary that should not be crossed," he added.
