Charles Leclerc BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

I am Charles Leclerc and the last few days have been nothing short of remarkable. The headlines everywhere are about my shocking pole position for Ferrari at the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix. The world of Formula 1 expected McLaren’s Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris to claim the top spot, but I managed to edge them out by just 0.026 seconds in Saturday qualifying, giving Ferrari its first pole since last October and leaving even seasoned commentators stunned, as reported by ESPN and the Associated Press. My Q3 lap felt surreal, especially after struggling through earlier practice sessions, with qualifying itself described by many media outlets as “super difficult” and one I personally called the most surprising pole of my career. This result could prove pivotal for Ferrari as we push for our first race win of the year at a circuit where overtaking is notoriously tough but rain could add major unpredictability.

My reaction immediately made the rounds on social media, with The Race, ESPN, and Instagram accounts replaying my interviews. I admitted honestly that I did not understand how I managed to put together that lap, considering how out of place the car had felt in earlier runs. I credited recent upgrades and relentless work by the team, emphasizing that a breakthrough like this is a crucial morale boost, especially as we measure our progress against dominant rivals like Red Bull and McLaren. Adding drama to the Ferrari camp, my new teammate Lewis Hamilton—himself a legend with eight wins here—qualified only twelfth and described himself as “absolutely useless,” fueling further headlines.

Off track, my personal life has drawn attention too. Heavy.com recapped the global interest in my relationship with Alexandra Saint Mleux, a Mexican-born Italian influencer whose Instagram following continues to soar. She joined me for the Hungarian weekend and media outlets highlighted our public appearances and her growing presence in the F1 paddock. Gossip sites discussed her Miami party with Hailey Bieber earlier this year, while her support during key moments of the season has not gone unnoticed.

As for speculation, pundits on Motorsport and RacingNews365 began to suggest that with Ferrari’s upward momentum from recent upgrades, this could mark a turning point for the team and for me in the championship fight. Bookmakers are taking notice too, with my odds improving but still trailing behind McLaren’s stars. All eyes will be on the Hungaroring as the race unfolds, but regardless of the result, this weekend is already a significant chapter in my journey—one being chronicled across mainstream news, sports publications, betting sites, and countless social media stories.

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.
