Charles Leclerc cannot cheer for a Monegasque team during the upcoming World Cup in North America. However, there are other countries that can count on the support of the 28-year-old F1 driver. As a loyal Ferrari driver, he would have liked to support the Italians, but they did not qualify for the tournament. Therefore, he has decided to follow the performances of both France and Portugal.

The media in Montreal asked Leclerc if he will follow the World Cup this summer and which country he will cheer for. As a Monegasque, he does not have a national team to support. “Of course, I find it very unfortunate that Italy is not present at the World Cup,” he said. “But I will definitely keep an eye on France.” Les Bleus are among the big favorites for the tournament.

The Portuguese team can also count on Leclerc’s support. “I have said it before, but I would also find it incredibly beautiful if Cristiano Ronaldo would win with Portugal one more time before he retires,” Leclerc continued. “I will definitely follow him as well.” Ronaldo is known as one of the best footballers of all time, but the World Cup has always eluded him. At 41 years old, he is also nearing the end of his career. In North America, he may be playing his last World Cup.
