The Monegasque drove his Ferrari to first place in the season finale, ahead of runner-up Lando Norris in the McLaren and record world champion Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes.

Leclerc's brother Artur, three years younger than him, also drove the second Ferrari for the first time and finished 18th. The young driver took over the car of Spaniard Carlos Sainz for the one-hour practice session, marking a first in the long history of the racing series. Never before had two brothers driven for the same team in a Formula 1 session.
