Formula One driver Charles Leclerc is asking fans to stop showing up at his home in Monaco after his address was somehow leaked. 

The 25-year-old Ferrari driver took to social media to wish his 10.5 million followers on Instagram a Happy Easter, but not before pleading with them to respect his privacy after revealing that fans had been "gathering" outside his apartment.
