Was Leclerc the big star at Monza? No, it was this youngster!

Suddenly, there was huge excitement in the F1 paddock. Photographers and cameramen started running as a particularly furry apparition came through the gates. Barely a few months old, but now a star on social media: Dog Leo, the little darling of Charles Leclerc and his girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux.

Busily wagging his tail, Leo dashed towards anyone who looked at him at all. Meanwhile, the cameras clicked so as not to miss a move from the little monster. Boss Alexandra watched with delight. Up to the entrance of the Ferrari hospitality, the media fell over each other before little Leo disappeared behind the door.

Even Formula 1 saw how popular Leo is these days, as a special video about the dog has since appeared on F1's social media channels. You can see immediately: Leo is a happy dog who only got happier on Sunday afternoon after Leclerc's win in the Italian Grand Prix.
