Amid the ongoing summer break in Formula 1, Ferrari's star driver Charles Leclerc spent some quality time with his girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux. The couple was joined by a few family members, close friends, and Leclerc's pet dog Leo on the yacht trip.
Despite a slow start for the 2024 Formula 1 season, Leclerc had one of the most memorable moments of his career so far. He became the second Monegasque racer to win the iconic Monaco Grand Prix this year. Throughout the weekend, Leclerc led the grid in two of three Free Practice sessions and Qualifying.
On race day, the young driver kept his calm and held back the fast-approaching Oscar Piastri (McLaren) and his teammate Carlos Sainz to clinch victory. With five additional podium finishes this year, Leclerc is currently third in the driver's championship.
To take his mind off the stressful F1 season, Leclerc decided to spend some time together with his girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux, along with a few close friends and family members. He posted a picture on his Instagram story with Alexandra and his pet dog Leo:
Apart from Leclerc, Alexandra Saint Mleux also shared a few moments from the trip, both as a post and a few stories on her Instagram page. She looked stunning in a blue butterfly dress.
