F1 sensation Charles Leclerc and art historian Alexandra Saint Mleux celebrated their secret wedding in Monaco, making their grand exit in a rare $39.7 million Ferrari 250 Testa Ross—a moment captured on video and witnessed by a smaller social circle.
Why This Ferrari Exit Stirs F1 Romantics
Leclerc, the Monégasque F1 driver known for his electric finishes on the track, elevated his romantic streak off it by choosing an ultra-rare 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Ross—a Scudetto-red convertible valued at $39.7 million for their post-ceremony drive. The two cruised through Monaco’s seaside streets, the Ferrari’s throaty engine another encore for guests gathered to toss rice and wave bouquets. The footage—shared on the Instagram account of Leclerc—spilled over into Sunday social-media queues, amassing 3.2 million views within 72 hours.
A Quick Timeline from Paris to the Pedal
- March 2023: The couple met at Paris Fashion Week. Leclerc was famously late for the Chanel showcase, sprinting onto the front row to capture Saint Mleux mid-convo with Vogue editor Edward Enninful.
- July 2023: Spotted at Wimbledon. They hid court-side at Centre Court, whispering between points on the All England Club lawn.
- November 2025: Engagement quietly announced via Leclerc’s Instagram stories—no grand caption, just a candlelit shot of Saint Mleux’s diamond ring.
- Late February 2026: Intimate civil ceremony inside Monaco’s Monte Carlo Town Hall; friends shared the Ferrari exit video around 4:35 p.m. EST, per digital time-stamps.
The Ferrari: A Scudetto Grail
The 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Ross “pontoon-fender” used is one of 34 ever minted and currently valued at $39.7 million, according to Gooding & Co auction records. Leclerc acquired chassis 0714 TR in September 2025 at the Scudetto auction—exactly two months after signing a three-year extension with Scuderia Ferrari.
The car’sffee00 checksum, verified by the Ferrari Classiche department, shows the very unit raced at Sebring in 1957 by then–works driver Phil Hill, now fully restored to Leclerc’s specifications. Fans cheered the gesture, calling it “Leclerc barking the Corso era.”
What Happens Now?
Leclerc is scheduled to open the F1 season at Melbourne’s Australian Grand Prix on March 7, 2026. Ferrari confirmed via release that Leclerc will participate “with a revised weekend schedule incorporating three cost-capped honeymoon windows.”
Saint Mleux, 23, remains a low-dopamine icon: her “art Lithuanian” Instagram handle posts zero bridal shots—only shots of the couple silhouetted in the Ferrari’s side windows uploaded 60 minutes post-ceremony.
