Im super excited to represent a brand that actually helps me to achieve maximum performance, he tellsRolling Stone.
Celsius couldnt fit better with my lifestyle and also the professional part of my life with Formula 1.
So its important to kind of have a routine.

There isoneaspect of Leclercs pre-race ritual that has changed recently.
Until the beginning of this year, the driver never used to listen to music right before a race.
But that all changed four or five races ago, though Leclerc cant exactly pinpoint why.
Leclercs relationship with music has shifted in other ways too.
Could we expect to hear a vocal release anytime soon?
Im not sure Im a good singer, he demurs.
Still, he admits its been the perfect way to disconnect from racing.
Whenever Im not on the track, he says, music is what I love.
Our target is to finish the season on a high, he says.
In the last few races, weve been struggling a little bit more with the speed.
Leclerc says hell miss working with Sainz, who he credits with pushing him to be a better driver.
We have a really good relationship outside the track and on the track as well, Leclerc says.
And we were pushing each other to perform better and better and better.
And thats exactly what you need in a Formula 1 team.
Weve had a perfect relationship [and] everything went really well.
And I truly wish him the best.
