Introduction to Charles Leclerc's Musical Journey
Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc continues to expand his horizons beyond the racetrack, releasing two new piano compositions in 2025. These new pieces, titled ‘MC24’ and ‘SIN24’, mark his continued commitment to his side project in music, adding to his growing catalog of original works. Leclerc’s passion for music is evident, as these two tracks bring his total number of piano compositions to nine.
The Evolution of Leclerc's Music Releases
Leclerc’s music journey began in 2023 with the release of his first two compositions, ‘AUS23’ and ‘MIA23’, inspired by the Grands Prix events in Australia and Miami, respectively. These early works were followed by ‘MON23’, a piece released after the Monaco Grand Prix in 2023. His musical career expanded further in 2024 with the release of a four-track EP titled ‘Dreamers’, in collaboration with renowned French pianist Sofiane Pamart.
Now, in 2025, Leclerc has unveiled his latest works, ‘MC24’ and ‘SIN24’. While Leclerc has not officially confirmed their inspiration, it is widely speculated that these titles are related to the Mexico City Grand Prix and Singapore Grand Prix. These two events proved to be contrasting for the Ferrari driver: a difficult weekend in Singapore saw Leclerc start from ninth on the grid and finish in sixth, while in Mexico City, he secured a podium finish, with teammate Carlos Sainz taking victory.
The Impact of Music on Leclerc's Racing Mindset
Leclerc has openly discussed how music plays a role in his pre-race rituals. The Ferrari driver revealed that he often listens to calming instrumental music before key moments on track. In fact, before his emotional home victory in Monaco, Leclerc admitted to listening to his own compositions to help calm his nerves.
In an interview, Leclerc shared: “I like instrumental motivational music, that gives me a lot of energy before getting into the car. But if I am too tense, which doesn’t happen very often, but it did on a few occasions – like Monaco, maybe before the start this year, there it’s more calming music, and it’s very, very calm, just to release the tension a little bit, but otherwise instrumental, motivational music.”
Leclerc also acknowledged the influence of his own music on his pre-race mindset. “Before Monaco, I did [listen to my own music], because that’s a lot more calming than the other type of songs I normally listen to,”
he explained.
Leclerc’s Growing Popularity in Music
Leclerc’s musical works have not gone unnoticed, with his compositions garnering millions of streams across platforms, especially on Spotify, where his music has accumulated over 50 million streams. With the release of his new tracks ‘MC24’ and ‘SIN24’, his popularity as a musician is expected to grow even further, as fans of both his racing career and music eagerly anticipate each new release.
Conclusion: A Multifaceted Career for Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc’s evolving musical journey is just one aspect of his dynamic personality, showcasing a side to the Formula 1 driver that fans may not always see on the racetrack. His ability to balance his racing career with his passion for music is impressive, and with the release of ‘MC24’ and ‘SIN24’, his music career is poised for even greater success. Whether on the track or at the piano, Leclerc continues to demonstrate that he is a multi-talented individual, and his fans can look forward to both his on-track performance and his musical creations in the years to come.
