The Miami Grand Prix was one of the biggest races of the year, with celebrations starting on Thursday itself. Through the weekend, the Miami International Autodrome was blessed with fans and celebrities alike and to cheer on Charles Leclerc, his girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux attended the race with Leo. Who is Leo, you ask?

Well, you can call him Charles Leclerc’s son and his new furry companion as he makes his debut at an F1 paddock. While Lewis Hamilton has not shied away from bringing Roscoe to the Grand Prix weekend, Leclerc figured, why not do the same? While he brought down Leo, calling him his son, a Brazilian commentator mixed up the state of his relationship with Mleux, causing an echo of amusement among fans on social media.

Alexandra Saint Mleux has been with the Ferrari star driver since 2023 and their relationship is going quite steady. She often visits to see Leclerc during his races and is often time-spotted at the paddocks. While she decided to do the same this year, she was accompanied by Leo Leclerc, gaining a lot of attention over the weekend.

Upon spotting her at the paddocks during lap 32, a Brazilian commentator accidentally called Mleux Leclerc’s fiance instead of girlfriend. This was brought to light by F1gossipofficial on Instagram following the race. Upon seeing this, many fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the mixup.

However, there is no news from Charles Leclerc at the moment about his wanting to tie the knot with his lady. Maybe there is something that the Brazillian commentator knows that the world has yet to find out. But considering that there is no update about it from the Ferrari driver’s side, it’s safe to take the comment as a lack of information.

As we know, Leo Leclerc made his debut at the Miami Grand Prix, and he had all eyes on him. The adorable new member of Charles Leclerc’s family is quickly becoming the talk of the town, with many fans wanting to see Leo in an F1 car.

Although Leclerc finished P3 on the podium in Miami, the attention was all on Lando Norris for winning his first race. But things were different at the Ferrari paddock, as the team was busy being obsessed with Leo’s cuteness. Charles Leclerc did not deny the rest of the world from the cute attack, as he uploaded many pictures of Leo that the world could see to melt their hearts.

Leclerc captioned the post, “he is very fast, he is very cool, he is very scary and very brave, he is everything. Leo 👑🤍” And the world agrees! The Ferrari driver uploaded pictures of Leo on both his Instagram handles, leading to over 1.2 million likes in under 3 hours of him posting the picture.

While it is not uncommon for the Monogasque driver to get such traction, this time, all the love was for Leo.  With Lewis Hamilton bringing Roscoe down to the circuits to enjoy races quite often, do you think Leo will be a regular at the paddocks too? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
