Formula 1, by all means, is an extremely serious sport that leaves no margin for error. Every error is almost instantly and brutally punished, especially on the track, demanding perfection from every driver. However, the drivers are only humans and mistakes are a part of human nature. So apart from his error-prone driving on track, Charles Leclerc also makes mistakes off the track as well. Luckily for him, this one particular incident at the Austrian GP weekend was more laugh-worthy than backlash-worthy, of which Leclerc has attracted plenty.

This is where Leclerc wins! Let us elaborate.
