Charles Leclerc Falling Asleep During Press Conference Leaves Fans In Stitches

Charles Leclerc's performance at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was impressive, with the Ferrari driver securing pole position for both the sprint and main races. However, it was his response at the press conference that stole the show for some fans.
Despite his achievements, the Monegasque driver was overlooked as the majority of the questions were directed towards his title rivals, Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. Clearly uninterested in the proceedings, Leclerc resorted to his sense of humour and pretended to fall asleep.
This comical response sent the fans into a frenzy of laughter and became the highlight of the conference. While some criticised him for his behaviour, many appreciated his authenticity.
Leclerc's performance at the race itself was also commendable, finishing second in the sprint and third in the main race, achieving his first podium finish of the season. While he wasn't able to convert his pole position into a win, he still managed to improve upon his previous results in Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.
"44 seconds of Charles slowly losing his patience during the post-race press conference as he was getting no questions.
