Charles Leclerc has unveiled a striking new race suit ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, paying tribute to his hometown with a custom white and baby blue design that includes matching shoes and a cap.
In a video message to fans, the Monegasque driver offered a first look at the special edition racing gear that he’ll wear during one of the most important weekends on the Formula 1 calendar—his home race in Monte-Carlo.
“It’s one of the most important weeks of the year, and I have something very special to show you,” said Leclerc from what appears to be the balcony of his Monaco apartment. “This is the race suit for this year. And you might wonder why baby blue—but if you’ve been following me for enough time, you know this is my favourite colour.”
Leclerc explained that the soft blue hue is more than just a stylistic choice. It’s deeply personal, tied to memories of growing up in Monaco, spending time by the sea, and afternoons at the beach. “It reminds me of the colour of home. As you can see behind me, there’s the sea. Baby blue is a colour I really love—it also reminds me a lot of the swim shorts I used to wear to the beach. That’s where the inspiration comes from.”
The Ferrari driver also teased more pieces of the ensemble, including a “super cool” cap and a helmet design to match. “The full kit just makes sense together. I really like it,” he added. “I just love it, and I hope you do too.”
Leclerc is aiming to replicate his fairytale victory at Monaco last year, when he finally claimed his first win on home soil—an emotional and long-awaited triumph for both him and the Principality. “I hope we can reproduce the same result as last year, which was to win at home. That would be great. It’s going to be tough, but we’re going to give it all. Thank you.”
The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix takes place from 23rd to 25th May, with Leclerc once again carrying the hopes of a nation—and this year, doing it in his favourite colour.
