F1 driver Charles Leclerc had a hilarious Twitch stream snafu with his girlfriend

Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend had to wait a half hour to get into their apartment because he was too focused on the game.

Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc has taken on a second career as a Twitch streamer during the coronavirus pandemic, but he ran into a hilarious problem at home during a recent broadcast. While playing Dirt Rally, Leclerc had his headphones on and couldn’t hear that his girlfriend was trying to enter his apartment.

Fortunately, Leclerc was paying attention to his Twitch chat, where viewers can interact with him – but there was another hurdle. Leclerc, as many big streamers commonly do, restricted the chat to subscriber-only mode, which reduces the amount of overall messages and forces viewers to subscribe if they want to chat. His girlfriend had to subscribe to his channel and then send him a message on his stream to open up the door after waiting nearly a half hour. The moment Leclerc realized what was happening was priceless.

Maybe put the phone on vibrate next time, Charles!
