Charles Leclerc, who has secured five grand prix victories with Ferrari, was present at Circuit de la Sarthe when Ferrari achieved its first overall win at Le Mans since 1965.
When asked if he would like to race a Ferrari at Le Mans in the future, Leclerc responded positively, expressing his love for the incredible event. He stated that he aims to check that box in his life, although he is uncertain when it will happen.
Leclerc expressed his joy in witnessing Ferrari's victory from the sidelines as the team returned to Le Mans in the top class for the first time since 1973.
Despite a setback for the second Ferrari due to a minor impact with a rock damaging a radiator, Leclerc emphasized his pride in Ferrari's accomplishment and described the experience as incredible.
Ferrari chairman John Elkann also expressed his delight with the victory, particularly considering the fierce competition from the Toyota team, which had won the previous five editions of the race.
Elkann dedicated the unforgettable day to everyone at Ferrari and highlighted the significance of returning to compete in the highest category of endurance racing after 50 years.
He emphasized the team's pride in taking Italy back to the top step of the Le Mans podium, celebrating the race's centenary in style.
Elkann commended the entire Ferrari team, including the mechanics and drivers, for their achievements in challenging conditions and viewed their victory as an example to inspire improvement, while also acknowledging the importance of courage and humility.
