Ferrari’s F1 ace Charles Leclerc has been relaxing with his family in Spain ahead of the Belgium Grand Prix – and was seen befriending his girlfriend Charlotte Sine while on the run.

The Monegasque driver and his beau were relaxing on a boat in the sea in Formentera with his brother Lorenzo, mother Pascale, father Herva, content creator Joris Trouche and fellow racer Norman Natoin.

The driver is looking to close the gap between himself and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in the Belgian Championship next week.

But he found himself in an overall calmer environment in the Balearics as he took a well-deserved break.

The pioneering driver was spotted snuggling up with his girlfriend on a boat trip in the Mediterranean.

During the trip, he and Charlotte shared a tender moment as he wrapped his partner in a towel after a swim in the sea.

The pair became official in December 2019 after Charlotte – who speaks French, English and Italian – shared a series of loved-up snaps of the pair on a skiing holiday.

Since then, she has frequently declared her love for the handsome driver to her 276,000 Instagram fans, declaring him “the one” and her “world.”

Charles was previously in a relationship with Giada Gianni (reportedly a friend of Charlotte’s) for about four years.

But despite rumors of engagement, the couple split in 2019.

In July, Leclerc all but swept the world championship from Max Verstappen after admitting it will be “very difficult” to stop his rival after another Ferrari error at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Verstappen took an 80-point lead into the sport’s month-long hiatus – the equivalent of more than three wins from just nine to play – after claiming the eighth win of his title defense at the Hungaroring after an excellent drive from 10th on the grid.

After overcoming Russell’s 30-lap resistance to take the lead at Turn 1, Leclerc looked set to win.

But the Monegasque’s afternoon was ruined – and his championship hopes dealt an almost irreversible blow – when Ferrari decided to put their star driver on the hardest rubber.
