He also shared a light-hearted moment with his close friend Pierre Gasly.
Speaking to the media, Charles Leclerc expressed his joy about this new chapter in his life. “I’m very, very happy. It’s been a special week, full of emotions. This is an important moment in anyone’s life, and Alex and I are incredibly happy,” said the Monegasque driver.

Leclerc highlighted the central role that Alexandra plays in his life, both personally and professionally. “She’s very involved in Formula 1 — not in a technical way, of course. But I think all of us are supported by the people closest to us, and Alex is the closest person to me, along with my family,” he said.
The Ferrari driver went on to explain how Alexandra has helped him stay balanced and calm, even through the toughest moments of his career. “She lives my career as I do — with the highs and lows — and supports me in the best way possible.
