“Around Monaco, Corsica, and Sardinia with my family and friends,” said Charles Leclerc about his plans for the F1 summer break. After the Belgian GP concluded, the Monegasque wanted nothing to do with racing for the summer break. But rumors of him signing a fresh $204 million contract with Ferrari surfaced right when he is holidaying with his girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux.

For Leclerc, Corsica seems to be a destination that he visits often. In the summer break of 2022 as well, he was vacationing on the French Island with his friends. And this year too, he has been relaxing in Calvi, Corsica. 2 days ago, photos of him with some fans emerged on the Plage De Calvi beach. Like always, he was very sweet and obliged them with some selfies.

The Ferrari racer is with his girlfriend Alexandra Sanit Mleux – a 21-year-old art history student from Paris. They have been reportedly dating for a few months now and have been spotted together on multiple occasions.
