Alexandra Leclerc was spotted arriving in Hungary this week ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, accompanied by the couple’s beloved dog, Leo, who has become a fan favourite in the paddock in his own right. The arrival comes amid persistent rumours that she and Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc may be expecting their first child together.

Speculation first surfaced in late May, when social media sleuths noticed Alexandra engaging with pregnancy-related content online, including nursery design posts. The rumours only intensified last month after candid photos from a Saint-Tropez yacht trip went viral, with fans pointing to a fuller silhouette. Neither Charles nor Alexandra has confirmed or denied the reports. But eagle-eyed F1 fans are inspecting the footage of Charles, Alexandra and Leo at the Hungaroring, which was shared on Instagram.

The couple tied the knot in an intimate civil ceremony in Monaco on February 28, 2026, nearly five months ago, after announcing their engagement in November 2025. They have been together since early 2023. Whether the paddock’s golden couple is indeed expecting remains unconfirmed, but if the buzz proves true, baby Leclerc would arrive just months after their wedding — a fairytale the F1 world would delight in.

This weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, Round 11 of the 2026 season, takes place at the Hungaroring in Budapest, the final race before Formula 1’s three-week summer break. Charles Leclerc arrives as the defending race winner, having triumphed at the circuit last year. He currently sits fourth in the championship with 126 points, fresh off his first victory of the season at Silverstone and a strong second-place finish at Spa. The tight, technical nature of the Hungaroring is expected to suit Ferrari’s SF-26, though Leclerc has urged caution, recalling how high expectations at Monaco ended in a heartbreaking retirement.
