"Either he is drunk or Michael Jackson’s Thriller is playing" - Fans react to video of Charles Leclerc dancing in a nightclub

A video of Charles Leclerc dancing in a nightclub during the F1 summer break in 2024 has sparked reactions from F1 fans. The Ferrari driver was spotted dressed in black at a club with Alexandra Saint-Mleux, his girlfriend.

August marked the sport's required summer break following the Belgian GP. Several F1 drivers, including Leclerc, went on a long and deserved break, and have been enjoying their holidays in various ways. The Ferrari driver appeared to be enjoying part of his holidays at a nightclub.

In a video that was recently uploaded by an F1 fan account on X, he was seen dancing while holding his drink in his hand. Saint-Mleux can be seen dancing in the background of the video as well. The clip had a location tag of Pacha Club in Ibiza.

Several F1 fans reacted to the video and hilariously talked about how Charles Leclerc was grooving. One of them connected his dance moves to the late pop singer Michael Jackson's famous music video, "Thriller":

"Either he is drunk or Michael Jackson’s Thriller is playing," the fan said.

Some fans were seemingly unimpressed with his dance skills:

"You really can’t have it all huh," one fan said.

"He can't park, he can't wink, he can't dance. But he's adorable," someone joked.

"Bro has no rhythm," a fan added.

Some fans commented on Alexandra Saint-Mleux, seen in the background to Leclerc in the clip:

"Alex is like, 'That's not my boyfriend, I don't know him'," a fan quipped.

"Brother why are they all dancing alone. Alex doesn't know what she should do," another fan commented.

When it comes to racing, Leclerc has had a mixed 2024 F1 season so far. His highlight in the first half of the season was when he won his home GP for the first time in Monaco. He currently stands in third place with 177 points. He is chasing McLaren's Lando Norris, who has 199 points and championship leader Max Verstappen who has 277 points.

Charles Leclerc on Ferrari's performance in the first half of the 2024 F1 season

Charles Leclerc recently discussed Ferrari's on-track performance before the summer break. He touched on the team's goals for the second half of the season following the Belgian GP.

The Monegasque told F1.com that he believed the Scuderia had the fourth-fastest car on the grid:

“I feel like we are the fourth-fastest car at the moment. I mean, the first part of the year for us was, for the first half, pretty positive; the second half struggling a bit more, trying to fix the issues," Leclerc said.

He also shared his thoughts on how Ferrari would use the summer break to "recharge":

"We are just going to try and recharge our batteries during the break, come back, try and analyze and hopefully bring new parts as soon as possible on the car to be challenging for wins again.”

Ferrari currently stands in third place in the constructors' championship table with 345 points. Red Bull leads the title leaderboard with 408 points and McLaren is in second place with 366 points.
