It was a bustling media day for Charles Leclerc, and while the excitement was palpable, there was no driving on the agenda. Charles seemed optimistic about getting back on the track the following day and hoped for a competitive weekend ahead.
During a light-hearted moment, Charles was asked about his golf game, to which he humorously responded that after his appendix operation, his handicap had suffered. ‘Not good after my append operation. I must have lost a lot of handicap, but I’ll try and get back on the course in the next couple of weeks and see how it feels,’ he said. The banter continued as he was quizzed on whether he’s a buttercut guy or a baby draw guy, to which he replied with laughter, ‘Yeah, that’s what my manager told me. Maybe we should send you coming.’
The day was filled with cheers and applause, highlighting the fans’ love and appreciation for Charles. In a candid moment, he received warm regards, ‘Charles, I love you this weekend!’ The enthusiasm of the crowd was palpable, and Charles responded with grace and humor.

The ceremony included notable figures like Michael Bradley, Managing Director of the Australian Automobile Association, and Tula, Chairman of the Australian association.
As the day wrapped up, there was a sense of anticipation for what the following day on the track would bring. Charles remained hopeful and in good spirits, looking forward to showing great performance on the track.
The media day may have been without driving, but it was filled with excitement, humor, and heartfelt moments. Fans eagerly await to see Charles Leclerc back in action, hoping for a thrilling and competitive weekend ahead.
