Charles Leclerc's wife, Alexandra, showcased a baby bump while attending the qualifying round of the Italian Grand Prix on Saturday. The couple has not officially announced they are expecting their first child.
Alexandra, 25, was present at the event, joining other Formula One partners such as Carlos Sainz's girlfriend, Rebecca Donaldson, and Alicia Torriani, who is with Oliver Bearman. She was seen wearing a black halterneck dress and accessorized with peep-toe heels, sunglasses, and a leopard print handbag. At one point, she appeared to be eating ice cream.
The Italian Grand Prix is taking place at the Monza circuit, marking the 13th round of the season. In practice sessions leading up to qualifying, Ferrari showed pace at their home race. Lewis Hamilton finished behind teammate Charles Leclerc in the first practice. Later, Hamilton and Max Verstappen had a notable on-track incident, evoking memories of their 2021 season rivalry. Verstappen launched his car underneath Hamilton's Ferrari, forcing Hamilton onto an escape road at the first chicane, with the two cars coming within centimeters of contact.
George Russell emerged as a strong contender for pole position, having finished fastest in the final practice session. He led Hamilton by 0.226 seconds, with Verstappen in third place. Kimi Antonelli qualified fourth but will start from the back of the grid due to an engine change penalty. Reigning world champion Lando Norris secured fifth place.
Qualifying was scheduled for 4 p.m. local time on Saturday. The couple exchanged vows in a wedding ceremony in Monaco in February.
