Formula 1 superstar Charles Leclerc has followed in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo after making a business investment.
Last month, Leclerc painted the whole of Monaco in Ferrari red after he won his home race for the first time in his career.
The Monegasque took the chequered flag more than seven seconds ahead of McLaren driver Oscar Piastri and teammate Carlos Sainz.
Less than two weeks after his victory in Monaco, it has been confirmed that Leclerc has made a new business venture.

Back in 2023, it was announced that former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Ronaldo had invested in an online marketplace for luxury watches, Chrono24.
Now, Ferrari star Leclerc has done the same alongside his brother Lorenzo. The pair founded a family office dedicated to athletes called All Time and have invested in Chrono24 for an undisclosed amount.
Leclerc said: “The watch world has long captivated me as one of my many passions.
“There’s a real unification between watch lovers around the world, and my brother and I are excited to be an even deeper part of that community through our investment involvement with Chrono24.”
Speaking after the Monaco Grand Prix, an emotional Leclerc said: “No words can explain that. It's such a difficult race, I think the fact twice I've been starting on pole position and we couldn't quite make it makes it even better in a way.
“It means a lot, obviously. It's the race which made me dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver one day.”
He added: “Fifteen laps to the end you're hoping nothing happens and the emotions are coming.
“My dad has given everything for me to be here and it was a dream of ours for me to race here and win here, so it's unbelievable.”
F1 returns this weekend with the Canadian Grand Prix, which will take place around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on June 9.
