Formula 1 fans were left stunned after receiving a huge surprise with their McDonald’s order over the weekend – an appearance from Charles Leclerc<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe Monegasque racer made a somewhat unexpected pit stop at the fast-food restaurant, just hours after competing at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix<\/a><\/b> in Imola. <\/p>\n

\nFootage shared by La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a> showed the 27-year-old pulling up alongside the drive-thru window in his Ferrari sports car before making his order. <\/p>\n

\nAnd it didn’t take long for word to get around that he was in the area, with fans flocking to catch a glimpse and request autographs, which thankfully for them, Leclerc was happy to provide. <\/p>\n

\nHe probably wasn’t quite as generous when it came to sharing his fries though… <\/p>\n

Frustration in front of Ferrari<\/a> faithful<\/p>\n

\nLeclerc came home in sixth spot<\/a><\/b> on Sunday afternoon, capping a frustrating few days in front of an expectant Italian crowd. <\/p>\n

\nThe result at least represented minor progress, however, having started the day down in 11th following a disastrous qualifying session the previous afternoon. <\/p>\n

\nLeclerc’s Ferrari team-mate, Lewis Hamilton, produced an impressive drive to finish the race in fourth, and give him a much-needed confidence boost<\/a><\/b> after making a disappointing start to his career with the Italian giants. <\/p>\n

\nLeclerc holds an eight-point advantage over the seven-time world champion going into this weekend’s Monaco GP<\/a><\/b>. <\/p>\n
