The miniature long-haired dachshund has two very famous, very rich, very handsome parents, Ferrari [Formula 1]() driver [Charles Leclerc]() and his mom, Alexandra. Leo lives in the newest and most exclusive building in Monaco, where Red Bull star Max Verstappen also recently bought a flat. When not in Monaco, Leo travels the globe by private jet and enjoys the finest hotels and private residences; from Australia to Mexico and Singapore, he lives a more pampered and glamorous life than most humans. Today, however, Leo isn't making headlines for the usual reason (his cuteness), but for a naughty little thing he did right in front of the Red Bull Racing garage. As captured by legendary F1 photographer Clive Mason, he decided to take a little pit stop before reaching his usual digs in the Ferrari motorhome. Does Leo dislike Verstappen or Isack Hadjar? Probably not. He most likely just needed to go, and that just seemed like a fine place to do so. Or maybe he hates Red Bull; I guess we'll never know. Either way, the funniest part of this whole thing isn't exactly what Leo did, because at the end of the day, he's just a pup. It's Leclerc's reaction to it. ![BUDAPEST, HUNGARY - JULY 24: Charles Leclerc of Monaco and Scuderia Ferrari and Alexandra Leclerc in the Paddock with Leo prior to practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on July 24, 2026 in Budapest, Hungary.

Do you think that picture ended up in Verstappen's mobile? Probably. Either way, the silly little moment quickly blew up on social media, and for good reason. F1 is a serious business and a very intense sport, so whenever moments like this pop up, it's nice to let your hair down and just laugh along with it. Y'know, kinda like the Lego parade cars—which [Verstappen apparently hates](). Happy Friday. *Got a tip?
