Fans Demand “Good Luck Kiss” for Charles Leclerc as Red Lipstick Spills the Beans

“Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows, lies the seed that with the sun’s love, in the spring becomes the rose,” this weekend, as the F1 circus descended on Marina Bay for the Singapore GP, Charles Leclerc seemed to have received love of a different kind – in the form of a bright lipstick mark on his cheek. With his girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux known to be in Singapore, their blossoming relationship, evident from getaways on luxurious yachts to supporting each other in their respective endeavors, fans couldn’t help but playfully speculate. Was this mysterious mark a romantic seal from his significant other, or simply an innocent peck from a zealous fan?

As Leclerc arrived for FP1 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, his Ferrari black tee inadvertently showcased a bright red lipstick mark, suggesting a parting “good luck” kiss. F1 Gossip Official didn’t let the opportunity pass, promptly sharing a post on Instagram, teasing, “A good luck kiss before FP1!😂💋”. Fans caught onto this tease immediately, flooding the post with comments and initiating a wave of humorous requests. Their ask? Another such ‘good luck’ peck for race day. Given Leclerc’s surprising performance, where he outpaced expectations by topping the practice session charts, some might believe the kiss brought with it a touch of luck.

The Singapore GP is renowned for its fast-paced street circuit and sweltering heat. As the drivers arrived at Marina Bay, they were greeted by a scorching 32°C, a drastic shift from the European portion of the season. However, a few unexpected visitors in the form of lizards caused yellow flags to wave in the FP1.

Despite the reptilian interruptions, it was Charles Leclerc who stood out – not just for the red mark adorning his face but also for his stellar performance on the track. With a time of 1m 33.350s, he led the session narrowly ahead of his teammate Carlos Sainz, displaying Ferrari’s dominant form from Monza. With Max Verstappen finishing third and looking for his maiden win in Singapore, Leclerc’s blazing performance, paired with the hint of a personal good luck ritual, added another layer to the weekend’s anticipation.

Fans are speculating: more lipstick means more speed for Charles Leclerc?

F1 fans, with their eagle eyes and penchant for drama, rarely miss out on any behind-the-scenes or on-track action. The unexpected lipstick mark on Charles Leclerc’s cheek during FP1 session wasn’t an exception. As netizens scoured through comment sections, it became apparent that this wasn’t just a personal tidbit. For many, it represented a symbol of good luck. It’s not every day that lipstick steals the F1 limelight.

“Hoping it’s from Alex but she wasn’t wearing a red lipstick today”

“😂 (I’m crying)”

“It worked tho”

It certainly seems that Ferrari is in good form in Singapore this weekend. Having taken pole position a year earlier, Leclerc would want to repeat his heroics & perhaps even win the race. Of course, fans will take such side stories to make the weekend narrative fun for the Scuderia star!

“(It’s not hate) but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Alex so made up as to think it was a kiss from her, really the first thing I thought was Sylvia (I don’t know if she’s there) or another Ferrari woman 😅“

If superstitions were to be believed, maybe with another good luck kiss – who knows what Sunday’s race will unveil? And also maybe the whole Ferrari team needs a good luck kiss from Tifosi!
