Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen have been driving together since they were in karting however, with all the time they have spent together, it seems they have started looking like each other after a fan mistook Leclerc for Verstappen. The drive was in Las Vegas when a fan approached him and left him completely surprised.
Leclerc was out enjoying his Las Vegas weekend with his friends, including his girlfriend, Alexandra. The driver made his way to the Lakers game and art exhibitions and made sure to get as much as he could before he won his P2. However, what he definitely did not expect was being unrecognized by his fans.
While the Vegas GP started in the messiest way possible for Leclerc’s teammate, Carlos Sainz, the Monegasque was seeing a completely different side of chaos. While enjoying himself with his friends before he started his weekend battling, a fan approached the Monegasque and left him completely speechless and also got a few judgy eyes from him.

Max Verstappen proved his trust in Charles Leclerc with this one-liner
Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc’s friendship goes a long way alongside Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon. The two drove on the same tracks and battled each other, however, it also brought them closer to each other despite the “inchident” that happened between them.
As time has passed, the two have found their own paths to Formula 1 and now compete next to each other with Leclerc fighting Verstappen on the tracks to get a race win. Although Max Verstappen has dominated the entire season and gotten himself 18 race wins in a single season, Leclerc has not been far off as he has overtaken and led the race quite a few times and finished as a runner-up to him.
However, when the two were still competing to get to F1, the two drivers despite their competitiveness, two trusted each other and their passions and skills. After getting the pole position against Verstappen yet again this season, the Dutchman talked about his trust in the Monegasque.

He said, “I always thought that if I would make it to F1, Charles would also make it.”
This, in itself, showed that the three-time champion trusted Leclerc wholeheartedly no matter their differences, and knew he would make it to Formula 1 and soon challenge him for wins.
