Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc has taken to social media to deliver a request to diehard fans after his home address was leaked online.  However, it appears to have been removed now.

The Ferrari driver posted a statement to his Instagram stories on Sunday asking fans to refrain from invading on his privacy.

“Hey everyone, for the past few months my home address has somehow become public, leading to people gathering beneath my apartment, ringing my bell and asking for pictures and autographs,” Leclerc wrote.

“While I’m always happy to be there for you and I truly appreciate your support, please respect my privacy and refrain from coming to my house.

“I’ll make sure to stop for everyone when you see me on the streets or at the track, but I won’t be coming downstairs if you visit my home.

“Your support, both in person and on social media, means the world to me, but there is a boundary that should not be crossed. Happy Easter everyone.”
