“My professional life is all about precision and performance, and sound plays an important part in that,” said Leclerc.

“The cars I am driving are engineering marvels, and the sounds they produce inform me of the split-second decisions I need to take. This close attention to sound has trained my ear to listen differently, so quality of sound plays a vital role in my life. When I listen to music, I want a clarity in sound and a balance in tuning that reveals the music in new ways and brings me closer to the artist.”

The F1 driver says he’s been a fan of Bang & Olufsen for years. “The brand has a clarity and warmth in their sound that helps me disconnect from the racing world and brings me to a place where I feel connected to the artist. That is why the partnership is such a natural fit.”

Kristian Teär, CEO of Bang & Olufsen, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are delighted to welcome Charles to the brand. We share the same appreciation for performance and craftsmanship and have a shared passion for music experiences that gets us closer to the artists we love. We can’t think of a better partner to help us evolve and create a community around beautiful sound.”
