Charles Leclerc asks for privacy after house address becomes public knowledge

Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc has asked fans to respect his privacy and stop showing up outside his apartment.

The Ferrari driver stated that since the address of his Monaco residence became public, fans have not ceased to gather outside his home.

Leclerc said he would still greet fans in public places or at the track, but gathering at his house is “a boundary that should not be crossed”.

“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,” Leclerc wrote on his Instagram stories.

“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.

“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.

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