We have welcomed Charles Leclerc, the world-class racing driver known for his exceptional talent throughout his career, as an Athlete Ambassador and Investor. As an elite athlete, Leclerc is accustomed to taking on extreme pressure with his sport, on top of navigating a grueling year-round travel schedule. As he gears up for the 2025 season, he knows that every detail matters to maintain peak physical and mental fitness, especially sleep.
Leclerc joins our athlete roster of more than 300 professional athletes across various sports disciplines who rely on Eight Sleep to enhance their performance and recovery, including Taylor Fritz (who is also an investor in Eight Sleep), Brock Purdy, Aaron Judge, Jimmy Butler, and more. We are committed to helping the world’s top performers unlock their full potential through advanced sleep fitness technology.
“Partnering with Eight Sleep was a natural choice for me because they share my commitment to pursue excellence,” said Charles Leclerc. “Sleeping on the Pod gives me so much feedback that is vital for my training – it tells me and my trainers how hard I should push myself, which is especially critical during the season when I can’t afford to put too much pressure on the body given how demanding the races are. With these personalized insights, Eight Sleep has truly redefined how I approach sleep, giving me the edge to focus on the job and deliver on the track.”
Leclerc is helping to set a new standard for future athletes, emphasizing the role of optimized sleep in maximizing performance and recovery. Throughout the 2025 season, as Leclerc pushes for a world championship, the Pod will equip him to recover faster and perform at his peak despite the relentless demands of his sport.
“Growing up in Italy, motorsport was a huge part of my life, whether it was racing myself, helping my dad fix his racing car in the garage, or watching races at home,” said Matteo Franceschetti, Co-Founder and CEO at Eight Sleep. “I’ve watched Charles’ trajectory since his early days and I understand the hard work and discipline he has put in to stay mentally and physically strong as a top athlete. Our partnership with Charles proves that the Pod’s world-class technology sets the standard for anyone looking to optimize their health and performance.”
