Charles Leclerc BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Charles Leclerc has been closing out his year in a blur of holiday hijinks, soft launch wedding talk, and a quietly significant reappraisal of his 2025 season. According to the official Formula 1 website, Leclerc ended the year fifth in the drivers standings with seven podiums in a Ferrari widely described as a handful, marking him as one of the standout performers of the campaign despite the cars inconsistency.[1] That broader narrative now forms the backdrop to his off track December.
On the lighter side, the sports festive content machine has had Leclerc front and center. Athlon Sports reports that Ferrari released a relaxed Christmas video in which Leclerc and teammate Lewis Hamilton reveal their favorite holiday movies, offering fans a softer, domestic glimpse of the new Ferrari pairing away from the tension of a disappointing season.[5] It is minor in isolation but biographically relevant as Ferrari continues to market the Leclerc Hamilton duo as the emotional core of its next era.
The most viral storyline belongs squarely in the gossip column. The Times of India notes that Leclercs recent engagement to French art historian and influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux, announced publicly in early November with a series of photos featuring their dog Leo and the caption Mr² and Mrs Leclerc, has become prime fodder for the paddocks Secret Santa games.[3] In the official F1 Secret Santa video, detailed by the same outlet, Pierre Gasly gifted Leclerc a French language book titled How to Be a Good Husband, a gag that played directly off the engagement news and lit up social media.[3] Rumors that the wedding could take place next year are described by the Times of India as unconfirmed chatter with no date set, and should be treated as speculation rather than fact.[3]
Leclerc has not stayed entirely on the receiving end. In the same Secret Santa exchange, he drew George Russell and, as the Times of India recounts, presented the Mercedes driver with a framed photo of his own overtake on Russell at Zandvoort, plus a video of the move, leaving Russell mock speechless and joking he would not be wishing Leclerc a Merry Christmas.[2][6] The clip, pushed on Formula 1s official channels, has reinforced Leclercs growing reputation as one of the paddocks quietly sharp pranksters, an off track persona that now sits alongside the serious Ferrari talisman described in end of year driver rankings.[1]
