Charles Leclerc was recently spotted enjoying his winter break with his brothers, Arthur and Lorenzo, and mother, and girlfriend Alexandra Saint-Mleux. The family was seen spending time in Mexico.
Charles Leclerc had a decent season in 2024 as he finished third in the drivers' standings and scored 356 points with three race wins. This year, he won his very first race at his hometown of Monaco, which was one of the highlights for him.
The Ferrari driver recently posted pictures on Instagram of him enjoying his winter break in Mexico with his close family. The members of the family include his mother, his two brothers Arthur Leclerc and Lorenzo Leclerc, his girlfriend Alexandra Saint-Mleux, and his pet dog Leo.
The pictures were of them enjoying the dusk on a beach in Mexico and having dinner on the beach itself. In one of the pictures, Leclerc was spotted enjoying his own ice cream, named LEC.
A group photo was also taken on the dinner table that also showed Lorenzo and Arthur Leclerc's partners sitting beside them as well. The first picture of the photo dump was an adorable one since it consisted of Charles Leclerc fondly playing with his pet dog Leo, whom he adopted this year.
Charles Leclerc reflects on Ferrari's performance in the 2024 F1 season
Charles Leclerc recently talked about how Ferrari performed in the 2024 F1 season. Speaking to F1.com, he stated that he was quite happy with how the Italian team managed both halves of the season. He explained how they faced a tough competition in the first half, but picked up the pace in the second half and improved their pace. The Monegasque reckoned that the SF-24 was the fastest car in some Grand Prixs.
He praised the on-paddock team, factory workers, and also his teammate Carlos Sainz for working together and pushing the team forward this year.
“I'm very happy because I think the first part of the season wasn't easy. We were definitely not the fastest car. We were actually struggling for performance. The second part of the season, we've done an incredible job, mostly for improving the car in terms of pace. We've picked up a lot of pace. We were a lot closer to the guys in front, and actually on some races we were probably the fastest car.
“This is thanks to the team in Maranello, thanks to Carlos [Sainz], thanks to me and the team back at the track as well to have done such a great job with the new upgrades,"
While Charles Leclerc secured third place with 356 points, Carlos Sainz ended the season in fifth place with 290 points. The Spaniard has now been replaced by Lewis Hamilton for the 2025 F1 season.
