Charles Leclerc and Ferrari Trolled by Ryanair Ahead of 2025 Monaco Grand Prix
Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc has found himself the subject of an unexpected jab, not from a rival team or driver, but from budget airline Ryanair. The Irish carrier took to social media to mock both the Monegasque driver and his team, Ferrari, in a cheeky post that caught the attention of motorsport fans online.
The timing of Ryanair’s post was particularly notable, as Leclerc prepares for one of the most significant races on the Formula 1 calendar — his home Grand Prix in Monaco. The 2025 edition of the prestigious race is just around the corner, and Leclerc will be aiming to recreate the magic of last year, where he finally broke his long-standing streak of misfortune at the Monte Carlo street circuit.
In 2024, Leclerc delivered a stellar performance at the Monaco Grand Prix, clinching a long-awaited victory in front of his home crowd. Prior to that, he had participated in five editions of the event without a win, plagued by a mix of mechanical failures, crashes, and bad luck. This string of disappointments led fans and commentators to coin the term “Monaco curse” in reference to his struggles at the track he grew up around.
Leclerc’s triumph in 2024 was not only a career highlight but also an emotional moment. Growing up in Monaco and dreaming of standing atop the podium at the circuit winding through the streets of his hometown, he had often spoken about how meaningful a win there would be. His victory was widely celebrated across the Formula 1 community, marking a turning point in his journey with Ferrari, a team that had also seen its share of ups and downs in recent years.
However, despite his 2024 success, Ryanair took a lighthearted swipe at Leclerc and Ferrari on social media. In a typical tongue-in-cheek fashion, the airline shared a meme mocking Ferrari’s past reliability issues and strategic blunders — topics that have often been at the center of criticism aimed at the Italian team. The post quickly went viral, with fans sharing it across platforms and engaging in debates about whether it was all in good fun or a step too far.
This isn’t the first time Ryanair has poked fun at celebrities and sports teams. Known for its sassy online persona, the airline frequently posts jokes and memes to engage with its audience, often targeting high-profile individuals and events. Still, taking aim at a Formula 1 team and a beloved driver like Leclerc added a fresh twist to their usual antics.
As the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix approaches, all eyes will be on Leclerc once again to see if he can defend his home win. Whether Ryanair’s joke adds extra fuel to his motivation remains to be seen — but if history is anything to go by, Leclerc will be more focused than ever to silence his critics and deliver another memorable performance in the streets of Monte Carlo.
