With the 2024 Olympics in Paris currently ongoing, many drivers have been speaking in recent weeks about the possibility of F1 one day becoming an Olympic sport.

The unbalance of competitors' cars in the current iteration of the sport makes it a huge improbability in its current form, but Lewis Hamilton argued drivers could be handed carts that all have the same capability.

Leclerc reveals different sport excellence

While suggesting his best chance of competing in the Olympics would be if F1 was added as a sport, Leclerc did hint at competing in another current Olympic activity.

The Monegasque driver revealed he had talents in high jump when he was younger, suggesting that was the only other sport he was good at as a child.

Talking to GPFans and select media at the Belgian Grand Prix, Leclerc said: "I don't know, I wouldn't be good at any other sports other than Formula 1, I think.

"So the best thing we'll have would be to put Formula 1 into the Olympics, but if not, I was pretty good when I was eight years old in the high jump."
