Charles LeClerc, the seasoned Ferrari driver, shocked many at the Hungarian Grand Prix by clinching pole position for the race with a qualifying time of 1:15.372, narrowly beating McLaren’s championship points leader, Oscar Piastri, by a mere three-hundredths of a second. This achievement marks the 27th pole position of LeClerc’s career and presents him with a promising opportunity to secure his ninth Grand Prix victory. Although the Monaco native has eight wins under his belt, he has yet to capture a victory at the Hungarian circuit.
Supporting LeClerc in his quest for his first win at the Hungaroring is his girlfriend, 23-year-old Alexandra Saint Mleux. The Italian-born, Mexican-raised influencer has garnered a substantial following on social media, with around 2.4 million followers on Instagram and 1.7 million on TikTok. Her content often features art, fashion, and cultural discussions, reflecting her background as a graduate of the reputable Ecole du Louvre, where she specialized in 20th-century art.
Saint Mleux recently made headlines for launching her fashion line, “Viva,” in collaboration with the Australian label MESHKI, which signifies her transition from influencer to designer. Known for her minimalist aesthetic, she aims to celebrate resort season with this collection.
Their relationship first came to public attention during a Wimbledon outing in July 2023, where the couple was spotted alongside fellow F1 driver Pierre Gasly and his partner. Saint Mleux also maintains friendships in high-profile circles, including co-hosting events with Hailey Bieber in Miami.
As LeClerc approaches the race, fans are hopeful that he can convert his pole position into a long-awaited victory, supported by the dedication and creativity of his partner, who is not only an influential figure in fashion but also a source of inspiration by his side.
