MONACO — When Charles Leclerc races for the first time at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, he will carry with him the memories of his father and his close friend Jules Bianchi. The 20-year-old Leclerc will become the first driver from Monaco to race on the famed track since Olivier Beretta in 1994. As a small boy, he watched his first Monaco GP in an apartment overlooking the famed first turn at Sainte-Devote. Bianchi secured a ninth-place finish at the 2014 Monaco GP for the unheralded Manor Racing team. At this weekend’s Monaco GP, he is carrying tributes to his father and to Bianchi on his race helmet.
