Charles Leclerc addresses F1 season doubts as birth of child nears

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc confirmed he does not plan to miss any Formula 1 races, even as the birth of his first child approaches. Speaking ahead of the United States Grand Prix on Thursday, Leclerc noted that while he aims to spend as much time at home as possible between upcoming rounds, he will still compete on Sundays during the demanding six-race stretch over seven weeks.

Leclerc also addressed Ferrari's goals for the remainder of the 2026 season. While Ferrari remains in contention for second place in the constructors' standings, Leclerc emphasized that returning to winning form before the season concludes is a far greater priority than securing runner-up spot in the championship.
