Feature: "This one is for Anthoine" Those were the first words uttered by Charles Leclerc after winning the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix. A day earlier Leclerc's childhood friend Anthoine Hubert has passed away in the F2 race. The Grand Prix would start with a tribute to Hubert and all drivers would race that day with Hubert's number inside a star with the words "Racing for Anthoine" 

Starting from Pole Position for the 3rd time in his career, this was finally the race that young Leclerc would put his stamp on F1 history by entering his names into the record books becoming the 1st ever Monaco born driver to win an F1 Grand Prix and making Monaco the 23rd Nation to have an F1 Race winner.

The first ever Topps Chrome Belgian Grand Prix card made, a young Leclerc is surrounded by his Scuderia Ferrari team after he delivers their first victory of the 2019 Formula 1 season and the 1st F1 Victory of his career. 

Hamilton's 2007 Canadian Grand Prix Win. Verstappen's 2016 Spanish Grand Prix Win. Schumacher's 1992 Belgian Grand Prix Win. The 1st Wins of their legendary careers and moments that are forever in F1 lore.

In 2020, Topps finally gave F1 fans a way to commemorate and collect their favorite moments of their favorite F1 drivers with their Topps Chrome Set. No card better defines this than the #145 Charles Leclerc Belgian Grand Prix RC Card.
