Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux Relationship Timeline
It's not a secret that Formula 1 is full of some of the world's most eligible bachelors, I mean, have you seen Lewis Hamilton? But it's also a hub for some super adorable couples, like F1 driver Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux.
Didn't realize your F1 crush was spoken for? Well, that might be because since Charles and Alexandra, an influencer and Rhode ambassador, were first spotted together in late 2023, they've mostly avoided attending public events as a couple and only walked a few red carpets together. They also rarely post about each other on social media, choosing instead to keep their romance private. Need to know more? Here's a breakdown of Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux's relationship timeline.
Fans started suspecting that something was going on between Charles and Alexandra in early 2023, after the two were spotted together at Paris Fashion Week. At the time, Alexandra's social media was reportedly private and Charles didn't address the speculation until a few months later.
Charles eventually put all the rumors to rest, confirming that he was dating someone in an interview in May of 2023. Though he didn't name Alexandra at the time, the two made their debut as a couple a few months later.
The duo indulged in some light PDA while attending Day 8 of the 2023 Wimbledon Tennis Championships. The two sat next to fellow F1 driver Pierre Gasly and his girlfriend Francisca Gomes.
Alexandra and Charles looked all loved up at the Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers in Los Angeles.
Charles and Alexandra continued their relationship tour, appearing together at the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague basketball game between AS Moncao and Olympiacos Piraeus. They were snapped sitting on the sidelines enjoying the game. Again, not a hugely romantic outing, but also one very deliberately captured on camera.
Cute alert! In April of 2024, Charles announced that he had adopted a puppy with an adorable Instagram post. The carousel of pics mostly featured 'baby Leo' living his best puppy life, but one shot in particular shows him attempting to chew what looks like a woman's hand. Could it be Alexandra? (All signs point to: yes.)
Meanwhile, Alexandra posted a TikTok video of her snuggling up to her new fur baby. And she and their pup have been F1 regulars ever since.
After watching Charles win the Monaco Grand Prix for the very first time, Alexandra joined her partner at the official Gala Dinner—a rare red carpet outing for the two. She also appears briefly in Charles' official YouTube vlog of the race.
If this Instagram carousel is anything to go by, it looks like Alexandra and Charles celebrated the holidays together in Mexico last year. While she made sure to keep her boyfriend off her grid, you can see their sweet family photo (Leo included!) on the second slide.
The duo arrived hand-in-hand at a screening of F1 The Movie in Monaco, showing the public that they're still going strong. Sadly, Leo was not invited.

'F1 The Movie' shot scenes at Florida restaurant, Rolex 24. When is the film in theaters?
Ready to see Daytona Beach on the big screen? The action-packed "F1 The Movie" not only features high-speed racing and Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, but also two iconic spots in Florida. The Apple Original Film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, was made in collaboration with Formula 1 and includes footage from real F1 events like the 62nd Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach. Scenes were also shot at Pappas Drive-In & Family Restaurant in New Smyrna Beach, which was destroyed by an overnight fire weeks after filming, in March 2024. Find out where else in the U.S. the film was shot, who will appear alongside Pitt and Idris, and if rumors of a $300 million budget are true. According to IMDb, the "F1" features: Brad Pitt Damson Idris Kerry Condon Javier Bardem Tobias Menzies Simone Ashley Liz Kingsman Kim Bodnia Joseph Balderrama Lewis Hamilton and more Starring Brad Pitt, "F1" releases in theaters and in IMAX internationally on June 25 and on June 27 in North America. If you can't wait to see the movie, fans in the United States and Canada can catch it early during limited, exclusive showtimes on June 25. Check your local theater for "F1 The Movie: Early Access" showings. Although it is being released in theaters, "F1" is an Apple Original Film made in collaboration with Formula 1. Apple TV+ has a page dedicated to "F1" which prompts visitors to start a free trial under "How to Watch," so it is likely the film will eventually be available on the streaming service sometime after its theatrical run. "F1" has received primarily positive reviews among critics on Rotten Tomatoes, earning a 'Tomatometer' score of 85 percent, as of June 18. The movie budget for Brad Pitt's "F1" was previously reported at $300 million, however, multiple people involved in the production, including producer and Ferrari F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, have come out to say the total is "inaccurate." Joseph Kosinski, director of "F1" and producer Jerry Bruckheimer told Deadline in July 2024 the budget cost was overreported. "It's completely, unfortunately, tens of millions of dollars out of whack in the wrong direction, and in the right direction for us," Bruckheimer said, stating rebates in different filming locations helped lower costs. "Plus, we've raised more money for our car [through sponsorship] than some Formula 1 teams. You take that all into consideration and it really drops that number quite a bit lower than what people would think," he added. In terms of a more accurate picture of the budget, Bruckheimer told Deadline that they couldn't give a number because "that's Apple's money and they can talk about it." Kosinski mentioned that he's seen the budgets for movies he's worked on being overreported, but never had the total be off by this much. 'F1' was filmed in a lot of places around the world. According to IMDb, there were filming locations in Hungary, the UK, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, Abu Dhabi, Belgium, Japan, Las Vegas, Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach. The Florida scenes of the movie were filmed at the Daytona International Speedway and at Pappas Drive-In & Family Restaurant in New Smyrna Beach. Pappas was destroyed by an overnight fire weeks after filming, in March 2024. Some of the scenes in the 'F1' movie were filmed at real Formula One racing events, like the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Here are the Formula One racing events that the movie will have scenes from: F1 practice ahead of the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, in October 2022 Las Vegas Grand Prix in November 2023 62nd edition of the Rolex 24 endurance race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach in January 2024 British Grand Prix. According to USA TODAY, Pitt and his real-life girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, were spotted July 5, 2024, walking in the paddock during the F1 event at Silverstone Circuit in Northampton, England.

Speed, celebs, Champagne: Formula 1 is having its Hollywood moment
If it seems like Formula 1 is inescapable this summer, there's good reason. Apple's"F1: The Movie," starring Brad Pitt, hit theaters Friday. It's one of Apple's biggest bets on entertainment, with the company's characteristic slick production, A-list cast, aspirational feel, and hefty price tag. The tech giant has gone all out to promote the movie, and even pushed discounted tickets using an iPhone notification. Apple isn't the only company betting on Formula 1. The sport, with its air of globe-trotting luxury and peak performance, has become a darling among brands. Tommy Hilfiger has a capsule collection tied to the "F1" film, and Heineken is using it to work itself into the cultural conversation. Formula 1 kept cropping up in conversations Business Insider reporters had with marketers during the recent Cannes Lions ad festival in the south of France. How did an exclusive, complex sport, with drivers hidden behind helmets and cars, enter the cultural mainstream? The sport got a big boost from the Netflix docuseries "Formula 1: Drive to Survive," which was not only a massive hit but was also credited with getting people to watch more races. The series started in 2019 and has run seven seasons so far. Formula 1 owner Liberty Media has worked to capitalize on the sport's increased popularity in the US. It added a second American race to the calendar in 2022, the Miami Grand Prix, and a third in Las Vegas in 2023, and has amplified the glitz factor with celebrities and splashy ceremonies. Teams are doing their part. McLaren Racing, home of the McLaren Formula 1 team, is doing a Trafalgar Square takeover in July to promote the team. Louise McEwen, CMO of McLaren Racing, said it was important to reach new and existing fans outside the track. "Seeing the new fans come into the sport, we needed to show up in their worlds and be meaningful in their worlds," she told BI at Cannes Lions. "Only 1% of fans ever go to the track in their lifetime." Formula 1 is still small compared to mainstream American sports like football and basketball, but the US has been one of its fastest-growing markets since Liberty's acquisition, according to Nielsen Sports. Globally, Formula 1 grew its fan base 12% to over 826 million in 2024. Women now make up 41% of the fanbase, and 16- to 24-year-olds are the fastest-growing age group, per Nielsen. A limitation of Formula 1 is that its drivers are obscured by helmets and cars, making it hard for fans to connect to them. Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has been on a mission to expand the company's global footprint and US audience by promoting its drivers as actors in the drama of the competition. Cost is another limiting factor. Even basic tickets to this year's Miami Grand Prix went for hundreds of dollars. Those factors and the complexity of the sport have raised questions about how far its popularity can go. Brands are eagerly capitalizing on Formula 1's rise F1 is considered expensive and logistically challenging from a sponsorship point of view. Still, according to the research firm Ampere Analysis, sponsorship spending on F1 and its teams is expected to reach $2.9 billion this year, up 10% over 2024. Jae Goodman, whose Superconnector Studios firm connects brands to entertainment, said he saw F1's impact directly at the Miami Grand Prix, where he said that for every official sponsor, there was another brand attaching itself unofficially to the race. He was eager to see how the new Apple movie would confirm its relevance. "From a marketer's perspective, F1 feels like it's at the center of culture right now," he said. Mastercard, Qualcomm, and Atlassian are among those that are hoping to get the sport's high-tech gloss to rub off on them through team and media partnerships on and off the track. Some brands are looking beyond just putting logos in stadiums and on jerseys. For its sponsorship with the Formula 1 Oracle Red Bull Racing team, the Norway-based videoconferencing company Neat had its products used by the team's staff and in their hospitality suite, so that Neat could invite prospects to sporting events. Uber Advertising, pitching prospective clients, described how beauty brand La Mer sponsored rides to and from the Miami Grand Prix. Lenovo marketer Emily Ketchen recently discussed with BI how its partnership with Formula 1 includes using AI tech to improve the viewing experience. "That fusion of tech and performance is where we see a really nice alignment for our brand and for theirs," she said.

"Not spectacular" - Low-key Austria F1 start for upgraded Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc aren't expecting their new Ferrari car floor to make a big impact on their competitiveness after a low-key Friday at Formula 1's Austrian Grand Prix. Ferrari brought a fully revamped floor to the Red Bull Ring, with changes to the body, edges and floor wing, as well as a reprofiled diffuser to go with it. Advertisement The team hopes the new design gives its floor additional aerodynamic load throughout the various cornering speeds, and thus be a net performance boost in all conditions. Read Also: Here's what Ferrari is targeting with its F1 Austrian GP floor upgrades And while Leclerc in particular looked strong over long runs, that gain in performance seems negligible across one lap, with the Monegasque six tenths off FP2 leader Lando Norris, shipping most of the deficit to the McLaren due to lower cornering speeds through the Red Bull Ring's fast Turn 6 and Turn 7 left-handers. Hamilton was another three tenths in arrears, being stronger than Leclerc in traction zones out of slower corners but losing time elsewhere. Advertisement Neither Leclerc nor Hamilton enjoyed a regular day of running, with Leclerc sitting out FP1 for rookie runner Dino Beganovic and Hamilton restricted on long runs due to his early gearbox issues. But while Leclerc dismissed that lack of running as a factor, he did have an uncomfortable time in FP2 marked by a few off-track excursions. "FP1 didn't really compromise FP2. I felt kind of at ease on the track straight away, but not really at ease with the way the car feels," Leclerc reported. "There's quite a bit of work to be done for tomorrow. It doesn't feel like the performance is quite there yet, but hopefully we'll make a step forward. Charles Leclerc, Ferrari Charles Leclerc, Ferrari "Long runs seem to be more positive. We were very similar to the fastest guys. But the problem is that everything is so close that as soon as you start P6 or P7, then in the race it's extremely difficult to come back where you should be. In qualifying, there's a lot of work to be done." Advertisement Leclerc said the new floor delivered the expected aero numbers but said it was hard to feel the difference. "It's very difficult for me to make any comments," he shrugged. "People expect that as a driver you just go with a new part and boom, it's like straight away so much faster. But we are still speaking about very fine gains. And if you didn't do FP1 and if you don't have a reference, it's very difficult to feel. But numbers wise, it does what it's expected to do, and I'm happy with that." Hamilton paid tribute to his team for delivering the new floor and solving his gearbox issues ahead of FP2, but also felt Friday's running was "not spectacular" for the Prancing Horse. "We had a problem in the morning with the gearbox, which was obviously difficult and frustrating for everyone in the garage, because the boys did a great job, kept topping it up," the seven-time world champion said. Advertisement "But you go out and you can only do one lap, so we didn't get the long runs. But I think we recovered okay with it. They did a great job changing the gearbox and getting us ready for P2. "But Charles was six tenths off, and I was close to a second off, so not ideal. We'll make some changes and try to get a little bit closer, but we won't be at the front. "There was a huge amount of work going on to bring the floor, but as you see, it's not necessarily going to change our competitiveness. The car actually doesn't feel bad. It's just we're a huge chunk off, pace wise." Read Also: Spectre of Max Verstappen looms over McLaren pair at F1 Austrian Grand Prix To read more articles visit our website.
