Taking a cue from Lewis Hamilton, who has often brought his beloved bulldog Roscoe to Grand Prix weekends, Leclerc decided to introduce Leo to the world of Formula 1.
The adorable addition quickly became the talk of the town, with fans eagerly anticipating Leo's potential future appearances in an F1 car.
Relationship mix-up
Leclerc's girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, accompanied him to the Miami Grand Prix, as she often does during race weekends.
However, her presence inadvertently led to a case of mistaken identity when a Brazilian commentator incorrectly referred to her as Leclerc's fiancée instead of his girlfriend.
While Leclerc and Saint Mleux's relationship appears to be going steady since 2023, there has been no official announcement from the Ferrari driver regarding any plans to tie the knot.
Fan reactions and speculation
The relationship mix-up ignited a flurry of speculation and jokes among fans on Twitter.
Some playfully theorized that the Brazilian commentator might have inside information about Leclerc's future plans, while others dismissed the notion, asserting that the mix-up was likely due to a lack of accurate information.
