@charles_leclerc: Another day, another shoot 📸
📸: A stylish, moody black-and-white image of Charles, casually sitting in a designer chair, a smirk on his lips and his eyes looking off to the side like he’s deep in thought.

@clfan94: who’s the lucky girl?? 👀
@twisted_theory: Wait... does anyone else realize we never see Charles with a girlfriend? Like, no one’s ever confirmed?
@julesbexx: i don’t care if he’s single or taken, that man is a work of art 🙌

THEORY: Charles is secretly dating one of his best friends. 100% Pierre or George. LOOK AT THE HAND-HOLDING PIC THAT HAS BEEN CIRCULATING.
(Attached: Several blurry paparazzi shots of Charles with Pierre, George, and even Alex, holding hands at different locations over the years.)

@pierregasly: will never shut up about how lucky I am to be able to work with my best friend and to be paid for it

Comments:
@delulusolulu: okay now im convinced. pierre and charles are definitely a couple
@beloved_georgefan: I’m sorry, but no. It’s George. The way Charles looks at him? That’s pure love. #GeorgeAndCharlesForever
@charlesleclercsbestfriend: remember that photo from 2019? charles holding george’s hand in LA? they’re so obvious about it 😭
@georgeleclercsfanpage: Guys... George and Alex are literally married. Please stop trying to ship Charles with George. You’re all forgetting that part.

@AnalyzeThis:
Charles' latest song, "Unfinished Routines," dropped today, and I’ve been obsessively analyzing the lyrics. The repeated mention of “broken sprints” and “long-distance goals” feels like it’s aimed at someone. Who do we think he’s singing about here?
@SongLyricDetective:
Okay, hear me out - this song is about Pierre. The line always running behind but never giving up could symbolize Pierre’s career - constantly chasing Charles but always supporting him. And hitting the finish line as a metaphor for their long, complicated relationship. Just think about it.
@stillfuming:
Guys, you’re overthinking this. It’s clearly about George. Listen to the part where he talks about pushing forward through the pressure - that’s George’s energy all over. And George is married to Alex, not Charles. Man’s clearly crying about that.
Vogue Magazine Interview - Charles Leclerc: The Modern Renaissance Man
Charles chuckles as he settles into the interview room for Vogue's latest feature.
Reporter: "Charles, thank you for sitting down with us today. I’ve got to ask - your recent album has been met with rave reviews. There’s a lot of depth to your songwriting. How does your creative process work?"
Charles: "Thanks for having me. My process, honestly, is all over the place. Some days I’ll write lyrics based on my own experiences - things that feel raw or personal. Other times, I find inspiration from people close to me. I think, whether it’s music, photography, or modeling, it all comes down to emotion and connection."
Reporter: "There are fans speculating that your latest single, Unfinished Routines, is about someone special. Any truth to that?"
Charles: "I think when you write about love, it’s often easy for people to try to figure out who you’re writing about. But I’ve never confirmed it’s about anyone specific. Sometimes songs are just about what you’re feeling at the time, and you let people interpret it as they will."
Reporter: "So neither confirm nor deny? There are also some rumors floating around about a possible romance between you and your friends - particularly Pierre and George. The fans are going wild. Thoughts?"
Charles: "Ah, yes, the endless love triangle theories. Look, Pierre’s like a brother to me. We’ve been through a lot together. As for George... he's been a friend for years, he’s happily married to Alex, and none of us are interested in polygamy, sorry. (Laughs). You know, people love a good mystery, but the reality is usually much more boring. We’re just friends, doing our own thing."

@stansongwriterfic:
guys ive cracked it! charles' latest lyrics are definitely about pierre. there’s no way they’re not. the line getting lost in your rhythm is so pierre.
@wellactuallyno:
No offense, but that’s just wishful thinking. The song has to be about George. You can’t ignore the chasing through the finish line metaphor.
@fandom_girl10:
Can we all agree that Charles is a very private person? If he wanted people to know about his love life, he’d tell us. So maybe we should let him be and stop assuming things.
[Interview with Badminton World Champion Max Verstappen]
Interviewer: "Max, you know how grueling junior leagues can be, having faced several hardships on your own that you are now an ambassador for the mental health of those kids. How important do you think that is, in regards to where badminton today is?”
Max: "I think you’ve answered your question. (Laughs). Yeah, I mean, it’s not easy. It’s not just with how the sport has evolved because definitely there has been a number of positives with the way things are compared to how they’ve been earlier. But with that being said, there are still a lot of issues from the past and as well as new things coming up every now and then, which is the natural way of things, you know? So, yeah."
Interviewer: "You’ve always been a great mentor to a lot of those in the junior league like Antonelli, Borteleto, Bearman, Hadjar, Leclerc and many more. How has that bond shaped your career?"
Max: "These kids are real great talents, for example, I’ve been training a lot with Leclerc, Arthur, to be specific. (Giggles). Wouldn’t want people to be misinformed that the singer brother is giving a shot at badminton too. (Laughs). Arthur’s a natural. He’s always been a quick learner. We’ve spent a lot of time training together, and I’m glad to see him progress so fast. We push each other in ways that make us better athletes. Honestly, I think he’s going to be one of the greats. He’s got the drive."
As the interview comes to a close, a sweaty Arthur walks by, waving at the camera.
Interviewer: “Arthur, got time for a quick chat?”
Arthur: “If you want to be close to a really smelly me, then yes.”
(The interviewer laughs as Max stands up, says bye to the interviewer, whispers something in Arthur’s ear, hand on his shoulder and leaves as Arthur is seen nodding.
Interviewer: "Secretive much?"
Arthur (joking): “Nope, he was asking me to praise him in front of the camera. (Laughs). But in all honesty, Max is too nice. I swear I could never have gotten as far as I have without him pushing me - both on and off the court.”

@BadmintonFanatic22:
Okay, but have you noticed the chemistry between Arthur and Max? It’s giving mentor-mentee who are definitely more than that. 🧐
@eternallystressedgirly reply to @BadmintonFanatic22:
pls can we not?
[Instagram: @carlos_sainz]
@carlos_sainz: been working with this guy for years, and will never stop being amazed at his dedication.
Attached - a set of 5 pictures:
- Max mid-set in the gym, lifting heavy weights with focused intensity. Sweat glistens on his face as he powers through each rep, his eyes locked on something straight ahead. The background is blurred, putting all the focus on Max.
- Max and Arthur in the heat of a badminton game. Max is in a dynamic stance, lunging to hit the shuttlecock while Arthur is in mid-jump to return the shot.
- A laughing Arthur, Oscar looking at the camera, and Max watching Arthur and Oscar.
- A selfie of Carlos in what appears to be a locker room, a cheeky grin prevalent on his face.
- A group shot in a badminton court, with everyone in the frame. Charles is gesticulating something, Arthur is grinning like a goofball, Oscar is trying to keep his composure, and Carlos is giving the camera a knowing look. Max is also seen standing off to the side in the background.

@oscarpiastri: pls he makes us both work harder than anyone that sometimes i just wanna mildly strangle him
@charlesleclercsbestfriend: Okay but… CHARLES?! Unexpected but this is the crossover we deserved. Thank you, Carlos, for delivering. 😍
@georgeleclercsfanpage: not to be that person, but you can tell from the group photo that max is lowkey in love with all of you. just look at his smile. now kindly excuse me as I go cry in a corner cos y’all are just too precious
@albonogeorgie: Is it just me, or does Charles look even better in group photos? It's a vibe.
@carloslover: Max's gaze in that third pic... I need a whole fanfic dedicated to that look. I’m sensing feelings... 😏
@mclarenfangirl: how much do I need to pay to get a video of Max and Arthur’s badminton and gym sessions combined? asking for a friend. 👀
