Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard humorously remarked that Charles Leclerc had “stolen his script” after the Ferrari driver’s wedding to Alexandra Saint Mleux took place at the same Monaco location where Coulthard plans to wed his partner, Sigrid Silversand. Leclerc and Alexandra held their intimate civil ceremony on 28 February 2026 at the Mairie de Monaco, a registry office situated on The Rock in Monaco, and announced they will celebrate with a larger gathering next year.
How Charles Leclerc Shared His Private Wedding Moments
Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux gave fans a glimpse into their small, private wedding through social media. The couple described the event as an unforgettable moment shared with close family members only. Leclerc explained that while the civil ceremony was low-key and secretive, they intend to host an expansive celebration with friends and family at a later date once they can properly organize it.
A day we’ll forever remember. Part one is done and part two will be next year with all of our close ones,
Leclerc wrote.
He also spoke about the day upon arriving at the Australian Grand Prix paddock, expressing how the wedding energized him despite immediately flying to Melbourne for the race weekend.
Obviously, it was one of those days that I’ll forever remember,
he said.
And same for Alex, and same for our family. It was family only and was very small and secret in a way, which we really enjoyed. We will do another one with all of our closest friends in actually quite a bit of time, just to take some time to organise it properly. But it’s been good.
I mean, it’s been obviously an amazing day and took a lot of positivity on the flight because I went straight to fly here in Melbourne. So still very happy, and the excitement of the wedding and the excitement of starting the race tomorrow as well.
David Coulthard Teases Overlapping Wedding Plans
On the Up To Speed podcast, David Coulthard revealed that his wedding is also scheduled to occur at the same Monaco registry office as Leclerc’s. Coulthard is set to marry Sigrid Silversand in that venue just weeks later before holding a celebration ceremony in Scotland in July.
Well, look, I was going to jump in on that, Jolie, because you said exactly what I feared you would, because I’m actually getting married in the same registry office in a few weeks ahead of a, let’s say, celebration marriage in Scotland in July,
Coulthard explained.
He added with a humorous tone about feeling a bit overshadowed by Leclerc’s timing.
I’ve got my nice 1971 classic Mercedes. I’m sure Sig, my fiancé, is going to be in a beautiful white dress. They’ve gone and stolen it. I’m pissed off.
What This Means for F1 and the Monaco Wedding Scene
The coincidence of two prominent personalities from the Formula 1 world choosing the Mairie de Monaco on The Rock for their civil ceremonies has brought lighthearted attention to Monaco’s appeal as a wedding destination. For Charles Leclerc, the intimate ceremony marks a milestone amid a busy racing season, underscoring his personal happiness alongside his professional commitments. David Coulthard’s playful remarks reveal the friendly camaraderie within the sport, even as these events highlight Monaco’s status as a coveted location for high-profile weddings.
As Leclerc prepares for his forthcoming celebrations and Coulthard looks ahead to his own occasions, fans can expect more updates from both. Their weddings serve as a reminder of the personal lives behind the intense world of Formula 1 racing, blending moments of joy with the demands of a global sporting calendar.
