Charles Leclerc chased robbers on his Ferrari Pista
In April of 2022, Leclerc was in Tuscany, Italy, when a couple of robbers, disguised as fans asked him for a picture. As soon as the Monaco-born driver agreed, they snatched Leclerc’s $320,000 Richard Mille watch off his wrist, and tried to run away- on a scooter.
Leclerc, however, did not give it up and went after the thieves himself. What Leclerc was driving was more than enough to catch up with a scooter, as footage released by the police showed him behind the wheels of his Ferrari 488 Pista.
