What we have here is a slice of juicy F1 drama that’s more gripping than a last-lap battle for pole position. We’re talking friendships, love, and…babies? Yep, you heard that right. It’s no secret that Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly, are more than just rivals on asphalt circuits. Off the grid, they’re the kind of buddies who enjoy quality courtside time. “I’m actually with my best friend in Pierre Gasly,” Leclerc once gushed. Uncle Charles Leclerc thinks it’s high time his BFF Pierre Gasly and his significant other, Francisca “Kika” Gomes, heard the pitter-patter of little feet.

Pierre Gasly and Kika Gomes hit it off in 2022 and since then, the spotlight’s been on them almost as much as it has on the turbocharged engines. Whether it’s the Cannes Film Festival or Wimbledon, this duo knows how to make a grand entrance. Kika often floods her Instagram with love-soaked photos of their getaways and adventures, from Dubai’s sands to Portugal’s beaches. On the flip side, Gasly isn’t shy about leaving heart emojis and endearing notes on her social media posts. He even called her his “lucky charm,” after she cheered him on at the 2023 Miami GP. It’s not just the engines that are roaring here, these two have love in the fast lane and aren’t hitting the brakes anytime soon.
