Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc have always had a good relationship as teammates but now the Spaniard is being replaced. Despite Sainz needing to find a new team, the two drivers are still friends, aside from the battle they put on during races. Over the years, the girlfriends of the two drivers, Rebecca Donaldson, who is Sainz’s partner, and Alexandra Saint Mleux, Leclerc’s girlfriend, have become friends too. And as they say, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

If you have kept up with Alexandra Saint Mleux and Charles Leclerc recently, the two have become puppy parents for Leo, who has been a star around the paddocks recently. The young and adorable puppy has won millions of hearts on social media and it looks like he made a recent appearance. Mleux uploaded a recent picture to her Instagram that shows Leo with none other than Sainz’s girlfriend Donaldson, so what’s the story here?

In the picture uploaded on Alexandra Sainz Mleux’s story, Donaldson is found lying down on a couch with Leo sitting beside her.  Mleux added some text to the Instagram story, saying, “Best babysitter,” and tagging Donaldson. Although Leclerc’s girlfriend keeps her profile private, the Scottish model reposted the story on her profile for the world to see.

It’s adorable to see Leo in any post, and Donaldson will have a hard time saying goodbye to Leo when she is done sitting with him. The newest ‘good boy’ in the paddocks is socializing with F1 personally as his dad takes the podium at Imola, coming in P3. As Sainz came in at P5, it was okay that his partner did not show up at the race, and decided to spend some time with the youngest Ferrari member of the team. Everyone loves Leo and the team has also come to be fond of the little Furry friend and it’s great to see that he is keeping the two Ferrari drivers close. Their girlfriends, at least.

Ferrari has a new star

Leo is becoming a celebrity within his own right, as Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Mleux have noticed more likes on pictures with their baby. Charles Leclerc also openly confessed that his baby has more supporters than he does at this point. While that is not true, these are the exact words he said about Leo’s popularity, “Now Leo has got more support than me. I mean, he’s the star of the show wherever he goes. He definitely made my life better. He’s got the pass, he’s got everything! He’s the best.”

Leclerc is used to the attention as he is the star Ferrari driver that the team believes can win a world championship. He is a regular on the podium, but since Leo has come into his life, there is a possibility that he must be getting distracted. How couldn’t he with the little tailwagger running around the place on his tiny paws? This was a problem that Lewis Hamilton faced when he introduced the world to Roscoe, and the same is happening with Leclerc; so who can blame them?
