Charles Leclerc is known as one of the most young and talented drivers on the grid today. Charles made his move to Ferrari after his first season in Formula 1 with Alfa Romeo. He went on to sign the longest contract Ferrari has ever given out to a driver. But who is Charles Leclerc’s mother and what did she do to help him in his career?
Charles Leclerc’s mother’s name is Pascale Leclerc. Pascale was married to Herve Leclerc, who passed away in 2017. Herve was also a racing car driver who drove in Formula 3 in the 1980s and 90s. Knowing this information, it is obvious where the Leclerc brothers get their talent from.
. @Charles_Leclerc about his mother Pascale: “She is not in the racing world. She is my mother, my family, & with her I don’t talk about the races, but about my life. Of course she pulls my ear if she thinks she should, without any filter, that’s normal. But I am well behaved.” pic.twitter.com/Pdh39JGQ1t

Over the years, Charles Leclerc’s mother has always stood beside Charles. Although she is not from the racing world, she has helped Charles develop as a person. When Charles reached F2, it became difficult for Herve and Pascale financially. At this time Ferrari stepped in to help the family and Charles.
Growing up, the Leclerc family has always been a fan of Ferrari. Charles’ godfather, Jules Bianchi was the first product of the Ferrari driver academy. Although we were not able to witness his full potential, we are witnessing Charles Leclerc accomplish great things with Ferrari. It won’t be long until Charles wins a Championship with Ferrari.
What did Pascale Leclerc do for a living?
Pascale and Herve have 3 sons, Charles, Arthur, and Lorenzo, with Lorenzo being the eldest. As the Leclerc brothers were growing up, Pascale worked as a hairdresser.
Lorenzo Leclerc is the only one of the brothers to not have a career in racing. Lorenzo decided to build his future by finishing his Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Business Administration. He is now working as a General Manager at Square Capital Monaco SAM.

Charles was one of the favorites to win the World Championship in 2022 when the season began. But strategic and driver errors came in the way of Charles Leclerc. The youngest of the brothers, Arthur, is currently driving his first season in Formula 2. He is currently in 5th place after just 6 races.
Although Pascale had a not-so-high income job, she and her husband were able to support their sons in whatever they wanted to do. It is fair to say that their hard work and dedication towards raising their sons has paid off. Their first son Lorenzo has a good job in management, while Charles and Arthur have successful careers in racing. It is understood that Pascale Leclerc’s net worth is at least $1 million.
