Charles Leclerc, the experienced 27-year-old Ferrari driver, claimed pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday with a lap time of 1:15.372, edging out McLaren’s Oscar Piastri by just under three one-hundredths of a second. This achievement marks Leclerc’s 27th career pole and sets the stage for his pursuit of a first-ever victory at the Hungaroring.

Supporting him at the event is his girlfriend of two years, Alexandra Saint Mleux, a 23-year-old Italian-Mexican social media influencer who has become increasingly visible alongside the racing star. Their relationship adds a personal dimension to Leclerc’s race weekend.

Rising Social Media Influence of Alexandra Saint Mleux

Alexandra Saint Mleux’s growing prominence extends beyond the Formula One paddock, where she frequently appears with Leclerc. Primarily focusing on social media, she has amassed 2.4 million followers on Instagram since her relationship with Leclerc became public. On TikTok, her audience numbers 1.7 million, highlighting her appeal among younger fans. Although she runs a YouTube channel, she has posted only 19 videos since launching it in April 2024, indicating a lesser emphasis on that platform.

Passion for Art and Fashion Drives Her Content

Saint Mleux’s online presence centers on a

blend of art, fashion, and cultural commentary,

according to promotional descriptions. She also manages a separate Instagram account dedicated exclusively to artwork, with around 305,000 followers. Her academic background includes graduating from the prestigious Ecole du Louvre in Paris, where she

specialized in art of the 20th Century.

This education deeply influences her aesthetic and content choices.

First Public Appearance at Wimbledon in 2023

The couple’s first public appearance was noted during Wimbledon in July 2023, where they

sat alongside F1 driver Pierre Gasly and his girlfriend, Francisca Kika

Cerqueira Gomes, marking the beginning of their visibility as a pair in the F1 and social scenes. Since then, Saint Mleux has gradually emerged as a recognized figure in the motorsport world.

With Leclerc in prime form after securing the Hungarian Grand Prix pole and Saint Mleux’s rising profile both on and off the track, this week’s race may prove pivotal not only for Leclerc’s championship ambitions but also for their joint public presence. Fans and media alike will be watching closely as Leclerc attempts to add a Hungaroring victory to his list of achievements while Saint Mleux’s influence continues to expand.
