The famous Formula 1 pilot Charles Leclerc, who once had a $100,000 watch stolen, secretly got married the day before in his native Monaco, just a week before the start of the racing season, reports Gazzetta Ferrari.
VIDEO OF THE DAY
The 28-year-old Ferrari driver, who was the vice-champion of the season in 2022, chose 24-year-old French model and influencer Alexandra Saint-Mélé. The wedding came as a real surprise to fans, as the couple did not announce the celebrations.
A video has gone viral online of the newlywed couple Leclerc driving through the streets of the principality, accompanied by a motorcycle escort. For their first trip as husband and wife, they chose the legendary vintage 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. This rare car, worth about $12 million, became the main decoration of the festive cortege, and Alexandra herself was spotted with a wedding bouquet in her hands.
