Speaking to the Motorsport Network, he said:
Leclerc was robbed on Easter Monday earlier this week when he was posing for photographs with a few fans in the city of Viareggio. The Ferrari driver reportedly chased after the perpetrators after noticing the crime, but to no avail.
The stolen watch piece is potentially priceless given that it was one of only two ever made. Built by luxury watchmaker and Ferrari sponsor Richard Mille exclusively for Leclerc, the custom-designed piece is valued at nearly $320,000.
