The Antarctic It is the southernmost continent in the world. The climatic conditions are primarily caused by the wind. It would be easier to go to a paradisiacal beach in the Caribbean or Southeast Asia. However, these difficulties are also what make people accustomed to adrenaline enjoy where others would suffer. For example, Lewis Hamilton He started his 2023 there and will now, perhaps after some discussions, be his partner Ferrari, Charles Leclercwho will visit the white continent and on this journey, like the English pilot, will certainly first cross Argentina.
“I’m going on a very, very special trip: I’m going to Antarctica.. So it will be a way to recharge the batteries. Of course there will be a lot of training there, but not only that: I will learn about this special place in the world and so many varied and different things that I hope to understand a little more and get more information about what this place is like. So we’re looking forward to this moment.”said the 28-year-old Monegasque in a video that went viral on social networks.

However, it was not the first time he spoke about Antarctica and the possibility of visiting. At the end of September, during the Singapore Grand Prix, Leclerc told Tatler Magazine journalist Sacha Forbes that this was one of the places on his personal bucket list. “One of them is Antarctica. It will be incredible and a unique experience: we are leaving at the end of this year. The second is Africa. “It’s a place I haven’t visited before and we would love to go on safari and also learn a bit more about its incredible culture and people.”said someone who has been used to traveling around the world since 2018 thanks to Formula 1.
When it happened at the end of 2022, Hamilton flew from Europe to Buenos Aires and spent a few days in the Argentine capitalwhere he went unnoticed by fans and curious onlookers as he ran through Palermo. In fact, the then Mercedes driver posted a video in front of the law school in which he hung an Argentine flag and wrote: “First time in Argentina, beautiful place”.
Although there was speculation that their vacation would continue in Ushuaia, the next destination was Chile’s Punta Arenas Airport in the Strait of Magellan to take a private cruise to Antarctica with some friends and start 2023 at the South Pole. Then, Franco Colapinto, who was driving in Formula 3 at the time, he wrote on Twitter: “Welcome to Argentina @LewisHamilton! Contact me if you need a guide, I’ll be happy to show you Buenos Aires!”

Although Leclerc’s travel dates are uncertain, we must follow his moves on social networks, both him and his fiancée, the French model with Mexican roots. Alexandra Saint Mleux. Maybe there will even be a message from the Argentine driver with whom he now shares Formula 1.

What is certain is that the rest that is available to the Monegasque is scarce: he had revealed that he will spend Christmas at his home in Monte Carlo and that after that, of course, there will be time for a long preparation, “as soon as he returns to Maranello for the New Year, spending many hours in the simulator and working to be ready for the coming season.”
