Charles Leclerc proves you can win Virtual GPs and host charity streams on an accessible all-Fanatec setup. Staying within one ecosystem means everything works together seamlessly at a fraction of Max's investment.
Bottom line: Max invested in industrial-grade hardware for competitive esports. Charles shows mainstream Fanatec can be championship-caliber for F1 drivers who race casually.
