F1 LIVE | Leclerc and Alexandra tie the knot as Middle East tensions loom over F1

GPblog understands that the pair have got married today in Monte Carlo, the city where they both reside and which also serves as the Ferrari driver’s hometown, although neither has publicly confirmed the news or posted anything on their social media accounts so far.

To mark the occasion, Leclerc and Alexander were seen driving through the streets of Monte Carlo in a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa — one of the most legendary models ever produced by the Scuderia.

The iconic V12 machine, of which just 33 units were built between 1957 and 1961, was sold by RM Sotheby’s in 2024 for a remarkable €40 million, underlining its status as one of the crown jewels in Ferrari’s storied history.

The military escalation involving the United States and Israel against Iran — and the response that followed from Tehran — does not give Formula 1 cause for concern about the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix going ahead for now.

Although an Iranian missile has landed in Bahrain, there is, at this stage, no indication that the race weekend in the Gulf state is set to be called off.

The FOM's statement reads: "Our next three races are in Australia, China and Japan, not in the Middle East - those races are not for a number of weeks.

Pirelli, however, had to cancel today's tyre test in Sakhir, where Mercedes and McLaren were meant to complete miles.
