Charles Leclerc BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Charles Leclerc has been at the center of several key headlines in recent days, both for his performance on the Formula 1 track and glimpses into his private life. According to Motorsport Week, Leclerc described his ongoing intra-team rivalry with Lewis Hamilton as a background concern for now, prioritizing Ferrari’s collective progress over individual duels. He stated that beating Hamilton is not his focus while the team fights for only fourth, fifth, or sixth positions and emphasized working together to get Ferrari back to the top. This has drawn attention since he has consistently outperformed Hamilton throughout the 2025 season and currently holds a 30-point lead over the seven-time champion in the driver standings.

Leclerc’s own consistency is quietly earning respect among paddock insiders. As reported by Yardbarker, despite Ferrari’s struggles and no race wins so far, Leclerc’s string of podiums—including a gritty third place under intense pressure in the rain-affected Belgian Grand Prix last weekend—has reinforced his reputation for maturity and mistake-free driving under difficult conditions. This latest Spa performance also saw him go toe to toe with Max Verstappen and demonstrated how recent Ferrari upgrades, added before the race, helped address longstanding issues with the car’s handling in slow corners.

The Belgian GP was also a flashpoint for public attention when Leclerc, frustrated by incessant radio updates from his engineer, told him bluntly to “leave me alone, please,” a moment that was replayed widely across F1 media and social channels. He later explained in interviews with Motorsport.com that the tension stemmed from the high-pressure, slippery race environment on Sunday and clarified there was no underlying conflict—just the intensity of racing in challenging conditions.

On the personal front, Leclerc has featured in lifestyle headlines after social media posts from his girlfriend, Alexandra Saint-Mleux. As covered by GPFans, the couple celebrated at a close friend’s lavish wedding and, as usual, their well-documented appearances caught fire on Instagram, where Saint-Mleux’s popularity continues to rise among F1 fans. It comes shortly after Leclerc served as a groomsman at his brother Lorenzo’s own wedding in Monaco—again widely shared online, fueling ongoing interest in Leclerc’s life off the grid.

There is, as yet, no verified news regarding major new endorsements or business ventures for Leclerc this week, nor any confirmed significant public statements beyond race interviews. As always, speculation lingers about Ferrari’s next steps and potential turbulence in its F1 project, but according to the latest from Formula1.com, both Leclerc and Hamilton have acknowledged the need for patience as they learn how best to extract performance from the team’s new upgrades heading into the Hungarian GP.

Overall, Leclerc’s profile as Ferrari’s de facto team leader and one of F1’s most consistent performers this season is only growing, with recent events confirming both his focus on the long-term project at Maranello and his ability to capture the public imagination on and off the track.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
