Monaco’s serpentine streets have seen their fair share of supercars, and when a particular Ferrari with the Monaco flag racing stripe roars past, it unmistakably belongs to Charles Leclerc. This Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, not just any supercar but a specially tailored version with a whopping 710 horsepower and a price tag of $351,300 to match, has been the subject of envy and admiration. When the streets of Monaco echo with the sounds of a Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, heads turn, and cameras flash. Last night was no exception, but this time it wasn’t just the car that caught the public’s attention. Charles Leclerc‘s romantic outing with Alexandra Saint Mleux took an unexpected because his girlfriend appeared keen on evading those very flashes.

When this car is on the streets, it’s not just a ride; it’s a statement. However, last night, it wasn’t the car that was the main spectacle. In a video posted by F1gossipofficial, as the Ferrari maneuvered through the city, Alexandra, donning a casual t-shirt, was captured “hiding her face,” This attempt to hide her face didn’t go unnoticed, leading to a barrage of online speculations. Questions like “why is she hiding her face?”  flooded social media. Those familiar with Alexandra’s digital footprint know her to be reticent. Her private Instagram profile and her often shy demeanor around cameras indicate a personality that is perhaps not yet accustomed to the constant glare of paparazzi and fan attention. But Alexandra’s private Instagram and reserved online presence further highlight her discreet nature, a stark contrast to the flamboyant world of F1 and supercars.
