Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc Share Hilarious Chess Moment at Fan Event

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, two of Formula 1’s most popular drivers, shared a hilarious moment at a fan event ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix. The duo, who have been struggling with their cars’ performance this season, were caught cheating while playing chess with each other.

Leclerc recounted the funny incident, revealing that they were playing chess from different locations and had to have a final deciding game after winning four games each. Hamilton, not wanting to go to bed with a tied score, suggested playing another game. It was then revealed that both drivers were cheating by using online programs to help them make moves.

Despite cheating, Leclerc still lost the game and went to bed feeling depressed, while Hamilton was left in tears from laughing so hard. The duo’s competitiveness and camaraderie have made them one of the most-watched pairings on the grid.

Fans who attended the F1 75 launch event in London earlier this season witnessed Hamilton and Leclerc playing chess together before unveiling Ferrari’s 2025 contender. The light-hearted moment between the two drivers added a fun and entertaining touch to the event.

As Hamilton and Leclerc continue to entertain fans both on and off the track, their friendship and competitive spirit shine through, making them a dynamic duo to watch in the world of Formula 1.
