Numerous stars and celebrities walked down the red carpet for this unique Première show in the presence of the Prince of Monaco and the brilliant Sharon Stone.

This was the actress’ second autumn social event in Monaco, and the media were not indifferent. Sharon Stone at 63 years, young in her case, can easily give a head start to much younger actresses!

It’s going to get confusing as the Monegasque contribution to modern motor racing increases in leaps and bounds. Confusing because there is another Leclerc rising star on the heels of Charles. It is Arthur who has just celebrated his 21st birthday.

While Charles has still a few races yet to go in the Formula 1 Grand Prix season – not so for Arthur who competes in the FIA ​​F3 championship where in 2021 there was a major change in format. There were three races per meeting instead of two in order to reduce the number of weekends. The calendar therefore included seven races against nine in 2020.
