Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc<\/a> has been caught out by an unlikely foe in a dig aimed at Ferrari<\/a> on social media. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe Monegasque driver heads home this week ahead of the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix<\/a><\/b> where he will be hoping to emulate his heroics at last year’s iconic event. <\/p>\n

\nAt the 2024 Monaco GP, Leclerc broke what many dubbed the ‘Monaco curse’<\/a><\/b> which saw him compete in five home races in Monte Carlo before finally claiming the victory he had dreamed of as a young racer. <\/p>\n

\nIn 2018 Leclerc suffered damage to his Sauber in his first home race in F1, followed by two consecutive disappointments at the legendary event. <\/p>\n

\nIn 2019, the Ferrari star suffered damage to his machinery which ruled him out of finishing the race. After the 2020 event was cancelled due to Covid-19, Leclerc was raring to go but had his dreams of a comeback crushed in 2021 after a bizarre issue saw his driveshaft damaged before the race had even begun. <\/p>\n

\nLeclerc appeared to have found the cure to his woes in Monaco<\/a><\/b> this time last year and his victory was the first of three earned by the Ferrari star throughout the 2024 campaign. <\/p>\n

Leclerc roasted ahead of home grand prix<\/p>\n

\nDespite a boost from their first home race of 2025 in Imola last time out, Ferrari have been roasted by Ryanair on social media platform ‘X<\/a>‘ with Leclerc and his team both mocked ahead of the Monaco race weekend. <\/p>\n

\nThe Irish airline have become known for their hilariously bold responses and interactions on social media with Leclerc and Ferrari only their most recent target. <\/p>\n

\nIn an image taken from Leclerc’s appearance at the APM Monaco Cannes event, the Ferrari star was pictured alongside actress Eva Longoria who was snapped in a moment of amusement alongside Leclerc. <\/p>\n

\nIn response to the image shared by a fan who claimed it could not have possibly been Leclerc who triggered her laughter, Ryanair reposted the image, adding: “told her this will be Ferrari\u2019s year.” <\/p>\n

\nLeclerc and his new team-mate Lewis Hamilton<\/a> have spoken of struggles with the SF-25 which have significantly impacted their chances of competing among the top teams. <\/p>\n

\nHeading into the second race of the European triple header, Ferrari sit fourth in the constructors’ championship behind leaders McLaren<\/a> and both Mercedes<\/a> and Red Bull, with their star-studded duo also struggling in the drivers’ standings. <\/p>\n

\nLeclerc sits fifth in the championship, now just eight points ahead of seven-time champion Hamilton after a much healthier-looking performance from the F1 legend in Imola which saw the 40-year-old pilot his Ferrari to P4<\/a><\/b>. <\/p>\n

\nThe Emilia-Romagna GP was a great place for Hamilton to put his improvements on display in front of the tifosi and even beat Leclerc across the line with the Monegasque star only managing a P6 finish. <\/p>\n
