Arthur Leclerc (; born 14 October 2000) is a Monaco racing driver who is currently competing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for AF Corse, having previously competed for Olivier Panis in the European Le Mans Series. He is the younger brother of Scuderia Ferrari Formula One driver Charles Leclerc, and a former member of Ferrari Driver Academy.
Leclerc finished sixth in the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship with Prema Racing, before stepping up to the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2023 with DAMS. He was the runner-up during the 2020 Formula Regional European Championship and the 2022 Formula Regional Asian champion. He is also the champion of the 2024 Italian GT Endurance Championship together with Giancarlo Fisichella and Tommaso Mosca.
Leclerc currently serves as the development driver for Scuderia Ferrari.
Leclerc scored his maiden pole position at the Hungaroring. The first two races would come without points and during Race 3, Leclerc maintained his lead until lap 9, where he battled with teammate Hauger and lost out but still finished in second place. Leclerc had an unremarkable round at Spa-Francorchamps, taking two tenth places from Race 2 and Race 3 due to qualifying in 13th. In Zandvoort, Leclerc qualified tenth. He then scored his second win of the season during Race 1, having stormed from third to first at the start and also defending hard from Logan Sargeant. He followed it up with seventh and tenth places in Race 2 and Race 3 respectively. In the Sochi, Leclerc qualified a disappointing 14th, but managed to end with a pair of seventh places. Leclerc ended up tenth in the standings, with one pole, two wins and 79 points, behind Caldwell and title-winning teammate Hauger, but could not prevent Prema from defending the teams' title. He remained with Prema for post-season testing.
Leclerc was retained by Prema Racing for the 2022 season, partnering fellow Ferrari Driver Academy member Oliver Bearman and Red Bull academy's Jak Crawford. After re-signing with Prema, Leclerc stated that he wanted to be "more consistent" in his sophomore season of Formula 3. His qualifying didn't go to plan in Bahrain, where he only qualified 14th. Leclerc had a successful sprint race, climbing to fifth and nearly pipping fourth place off Zane Maloney. He made another charge in the feature race, finishing second place for his first podium finish of the year. In Imola, things did not start well as he was spun out in qualifying by Enzo Trulli, eventually the Monégasque wounded up 21st. He had a difficult sprint race, but another recovery drive saw Leclerc claim fourth place at the end. Leclerc would start fifth for the Barcelona round, and would finish one place higher in the sprint race. Leclerc's feature race was messy, as a collision with David Vidales and erratic driving on Juan Manuel Correa saw him receive two five-second time penalties, and was ended 16th.
In Silverstone, Leclerc qualified second. Eighth place came in the sprint race having to overtake both of his Prema teammates, before his first and only win of the year came on Sunday. Leclerc would overtake polesitter Zak O'Sullivan in the early stages of the race for victory. Leclerc took victory in the main race at Silverstone, having overtaken Zak O'Sullivan in the early stages of the race. At the Red Bull Ring, he topped practice for the first time and qualified fourth. He would score decent points in the races, finishing taking a pair of fourth place finishes in the sprint and feature races respectively. Leclerc again qualified fourth in Budapest, however a disappointing sprint race would come. Battling for fourth place on the very last lap with teammate Crawford, he crashed into the back of the American, both losing places and points to their rivals. He would carry a five-place grid penalty for the feature race, and after making early progress to sixth place, he fell to eighth as O'Sullivan and Correa passed him on slick tyres at a dry track. Following the summer break, an energy confusion saw Leclerc down in 20th for Spa-Francorchamps qualifying, but made an electric charge, picking up 15 places for P5 at the flag. He would finish just outside the points in 11th during the feature race. A weekend to forget in Zandvoort saw Leclerc be rewarded without points, and left him an outsider for the title. He qualified fifth during the Monza finale, ahead of both teammates and championship contenders. In the sprint race, he dropped a few places after making contact with Victor Martins, but drove well to finish eighth. In the feature race, he finished in fifth place despite contact with a rival. Leclerc ended the championship in a disappointing sixth place, with one win and one more podium, also claiming 114 points in a season that could have been much better.
Baku was relatively disappointing for Leclerc, qualifying down in 13th and he was involved in a late safety car restart, misjudging his braking point on cold tyres and nearly slamming into the wall. Leclerc ended the feature race in 11th, but was promoted to tenth after Victor Martins was disqualified, continuing his feature race point-scoring streak.] In Monaco, Leclerc crashed on his lap during qualifying, which left him down in 20th. Similar to his brother Charles' woes in his races at Monaco, he would have a weekend to forget, finishing 14th in the sprint and retiring from the feature race with a brake issue. In Barcelona, Leclerc qualified in 13th. Having ended the sprint race in ninth, he went on the alternate strategy in the feature race and it paid off in the same position, this time scoring points.
Leclerc's form faded starting from Austria, and despite qualifying eighth, as during the sprint race he started on the wrong tyres on a drying track, and a loose wheel curtailed his feature race. In Silverstone, Leclerc qualified 11th. Having scored a point in the sprint race, he went on the alternate strategy in the feature race, which partially worked out as he made his way to third with eight laps remaining. However, he was forced to pit early due to a safety car mid-race, which led to him dropping to ninth place. More tough weekends followed, failing to score points in both Budapest and Spa-Francorchamps due to unfortunate incidents.
In Monza, Leclerc had another round of mixed fortunes, climbing from 12th to seventh in the sprint race to score points in three rounds. However, he spun out of the feature race on just lap 6. At the Yas Marina season finale, a successful alternate strategy for Leclerc saw him climb to sixth at the chequered flag, although an early five-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage prevented him from a higher result. Leclerc finished the season a lowly 15th in the standings with 49 points and one podium, paling in comparison to teammate Iwasa's 165.
Leclerc made his free practice debut in place of Carlos Sainz Jr. during the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Alongside his brother Charles Leclerc, the two became the first sibling pairing to both drive for the same Formula One team in the same official F1 session. Leclerc finished the session in 18th place. He also drove the SF-24 again during the young drivers' test for the afternoon session, completing 68 laps and ending the session in 14th.
However, Leclerc returned to the wheel of a Formula E car in July 2025, driving for Maserati MSG Racing during the Berlin rookie test at the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit.
Leclerc also competed in the Italian GT Championship in the GT3 category. At the end of the year, Leclerc tested the Ferrari 499P Hypercar in the Rookie Test at the Bahrain International Circuit.
For his main campaign, Leclerc will race in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with AF Corse alongside Eliseo Donno and Antonio Fuoco.
