Alexandra ultimately chose to sit at the front of the vehicle, while the brief exchange prompted discussion among fans on social media.

Some viewers criticised Leclerc, suggesting he had been inconsiderate towards Alexandra during her pregnancy.

Others questioned whether the reaction was being taken too far, noting that the short clip does not provide the full context of what happened before or after the footage was recorded.

The moment also led to comparisons between Leclerc and Hamilton, with some fans focusing on Hamilton’s apparent decision to offer Alexandra his seat.

Leclerc and Alexandra, who got married in February, are expecting their first child, adding further attention to the interaction.

The couple’s relationship has previously attracted interest from Formula 1 fans, particularly during public appearances at race weekends.
