Lewis Hamilton, the esteemed Formula 1 driver, recently revealed that he has yet to present a wedding gift to his Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc. This admission came during a press conference held in anticipation of the upcoming Australian Grand Prix on 5 March. Hamilton, who has never married himself, shared that he prefers to take his time when selecting gifts, typically allowing himself a period of up to six months before finalising his choice.

Leclerc, 28, married his partner Alexandra Saint Mleux, 24, on 28 February. In light of the occasion, he playfully suggested that he might fancy receiving a championship title from Hamilton as a belated wedding present. “Well, in six months’ time it will be the end of the season, so probably a title would be nice,” he remarked jokingly, although he acknowledged that such a gift might be unlikely to materialise.
The wedding itself took place in Monaco and was described as a “civil wedding.” Leclerc and Saint Mleux announced their engagement in November, setting the stage for their nuptials. On 1 March, the couple shared glimpses from their special day on social media, providing fans with an insight into their celebration. The footage included the touching moment when Leclerc slipped a wedding ring onto his bride’s finger, followed closely by a sweet kiss to mark their union.
The posts also showcased an aesthetically pleasing scene of the newlyweds cruising along the Mediterranean in a vintage red 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa convertible, a fitting touch for the couple given Leclerc’s racing background. Captioning one of their pictures, the driver simply wrote, “28/02/2026 – Civil Wedding 🤍.”
Further images shared by the couple illustrated their joyous day, exhibiting their romantic moments against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. Fans saw an array of new memories, including playful shots of the pair sharing kisses on a balcony and enjoying their time together in their getaway car after the ceremony.
Leclerc had made headlines in November 2025 when he announced his engagement to Saint Mleux on Instagram, sharing a heartfelt post that noted their shared journey ahead. “Mr². & Mrs. Leclerc 💍❤️❤️❤️,” he wrote, including images from the proposal, which featured a special role played by Leclerc’s pet Leo.
The couple first appeared publicly as a pair in March 2023. Less than two months later, Leclerc confirmed their relationship during an interview with Gala France, where he expressed happiness over their connection. Since then, Saint Mleux has been a regular presence at Leclerc’s F1 events, visibly supporting her husband during races.
As Leclerc settles into married life, the Formula 1 community eagerly awaits Hamilton’s next move regarding his wedding gift. With the racing season in full swing, fans are no doubt excited to see how the relationship between the two drivers evolves, both on and off the track.
Still fresh from their wedding, the couple is expected to continue sharing aspects of their life together, and as they embark on this new chapter, the excitement surrounding their journey remains high. In a sport renowned for its competitiveness, the camaraderie between teammates can offer a refreshing narrative that highlights the personal connections forged in the fast-paced world of Formula 1.
