Friendships in the Formula 1 paddock are honestly a rare sight. The sport is a cutthroat business. Naturally, when only 20 seats are on offer, every single driver on the grid is your mortal enemy, irrespective of the pecking order. However, in the turmoil of this power struggle, Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc seemed to have found each other. Their bromance is common knowledge among F1 fans. But lady love has started to threaten.

The two friends are currently on separate spectrums in their love lives. While Gasly is enjoying his blissful romantic life with Portuguese model, Francisca ‘Kika’ Gomes, Leclerc is still ailing from the break-up of his long-term relationship with Charlotte Sine.

Leclerc’s ex, Sine took to her Instagram to share a few pictures and videos of her enjoying on holiday. However, it is of much import to note that Kika Gomes has left a like on Sine’s post. This does seem surprising given how close Gasly and Leclerc actually are.
