Leclerc, 21, was born in Monaco and will drive for Ferrari in the 2019 racing season

Next week the young racer will have his first test drive with Ferrari since he was confirmed for their 2019 season and said he expects it to be 'emotional,' reports Autosport. 

The outing in the Pirelli tyre test at the Yas Marina Circuit has been a formality for a while, but it wasn't officially confirmed until recently.

Leclerc said: 'It will be quite emotional...I'm definitely looking forward to trying it.

'It's two different teams and I always struggle to compare two cars because they have different balances and are driven differently.'  

Leclerc joined Ferrari’s young driver academy at the start of 2016 and claimed titles in GP3 and Formula 2 before signing with current team Sauber.

Other drivers will also test out their 2019 teams next week.

Kimi Raikkonen will drive for Sauber and George Russell will race with Williams.

McLaren's team will gain Carlos Sainz Jr and Lando Norris who is currently competing in Formula 2.

Princess Charlene, 40, and her husband Prince Albert were the guests of honour at Monaco Grand Prix in May.

The race, known as the most glamorous fixture in the Formula One calendar, did not disappoint and the Princess was snapped enjoying champagne with the winners.

Princess Charlene joined race winner Daniel Ricciardo on the podium and necked some of the drink from the bottle. 

Ricciardo and Brit Lewis Hamilton then sprayed champagne across the stage after gaining crucial points in the Monte Carlo F1 fixture.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
