No matter who you are or where you live or what you do, the scourges of the earth always find you. Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc come across such a group in Viareggio, Italy last year. The Monegasque stopped to get photos clicked with some fans. However, during this encounter, a group of robbers stole one of Leclerc’s items $2,000,000. Albeit upsetting, some fans have found a funny side to this story owing to Ferrari’s current form.
Let’s first recap the entire incident. We are all aware on 18th April 2022, Leclerc’s Richard Mille one-of-a-kind watch was robbed from his hands. The Monegasque was sporting the one-of-a-kind special edition customized watch on his left wrist where it was nicked during the commotion. The incident took place in the city of Viareggio.
According to reports, a collective effort from the authorities of Naples, Caserta, Milan, and Viareggio helped apprehend the gang. The closed case allowed the police to release some unseen footage as well.
Leclerc chased the robbers down in his Ferrari 488 Pista, as seen in the footage released by the police. Something out of the movies, the Monegasque attempted to catch the robbers in the streets of Viareggio before they fled to Naples.

However, this case is closed, and everyone can take a sign of relief, especially Leclerc. Moving on from the horrible situation, the fans found a way to look back at it and laugh. Albeit it is at Leclerc and Ferrari’s expense.
Fans mock the Ferrari man Charles Leclerc chasing the robbers down keeping his current form in mind
Ferrari has had an abysmal start to the season in 2023, especially Leclerc. The Monegasque has not finished two of the opening three races. To add insult to injury, Ferrari seems like the fourth-fastest team on the grid, even behind Aston Martin.
This is exactly why the fans mocked the footage of Leclerc chasing the robbers down in his Ferrari.
Did he catch them or his Ferrari broke down?
