Meet the stunning F1 WAGs stealing the show in 2025 – from pro golfer to racing star & top model who dated Kardashian ex
AS the Formula 1 aces took to the grid this weekend, some fans were driven to distraction by the bevvy of beauties in the paddocks.
The drivers’ glamorous wives and girlfriends tried to keep their cool at the Australian Grand Prix as the mercury hit 32C and their partners burned rubber.
And with a host of rookies on the track alongside veterans Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, there were some unfamiliar faces on the sidelines, too.
American Hannah St John, 21, was all smiles at Albert Park Circuit, in Melbourne, as she cheered on Red Bull Racing’s rising star Liam Lawson.
She joined Scot Rebecca Donaldson, 28, the girlfriend of Carlos Sainz, who was making his Williams’ debut after four seasons at Ferrari.
And the Wags also live life in the fast lane, with impressive careers of their own including as a professional golfer, model and racing driver.
Here, Thea Jacobs takes a look at the F1 stars’ stunning other halves, who are in pole position to steal the limelight from their men . . .
Isabella Bernardini & Gabriel Bortoleto
YOUNG love is at the races this year, in the shape of Team Sauber’s newbie driver Gabriel, 20, and his girlfriend Isabella, who is just a year older.
The couple are high school sweethearts, having got together when he was 16.
Isabella is currently thought to be studying computer science at Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
The couple aren’t afraid to show off their romance online, posing together for a cute New Year’s snap in which she perched on his knee, and sharing pictures of his Formula 2 races last year.
Brazilian Isabella flew in to watch her beau make his F1 debut, and she looked stunning in a white mini-skirt and blouse combo.
Sadly, Gabriel was not placed in his first race of the season – but he was surely a winner with Isabella.
Kelly Piquet & Max Verstappen
KELLY, 36, is in a relationship with Max , 27, the four-time Formula One World Drivers’ Champion.
She is also racing royalty, as the daughter of three-time winner Nelson Piquet, 72.
Since she started dating Red Bull racer Max in 2020, the Formula E social media manager has been a regular at the grand prix.
But the heavily pregnant model missed out on this weekend’s race to attend an event at swanky restaurant Kaspia London, in Mayfair.
It will be Kelly and Max’s first baby together.
She also has a daughter with Russian driver Daniil Kvyat.
Francisca Gomes & Pierre Gasly
PORTUGUESE Francisca, 22, has been in a relationship with Alpine’s French driver Pierre Gasly since 2022.
She posted a sweet black- and-white snap of the pair kissing after his first outing of the season and revealed they had relaxed with a plush Italian meal the night before.
Being in the paddock isn’t a new experience for “Kika” either as her father is former F1 driver Goncalo Gomes, 49.
And thanks to her mum being TV presenter Maria Cerqueira Gomes, Francisca isn’t easily fazed by the limelight.
She has built a career as a model and influencer, which allows her to follow Pierre, 29, around the world for his races.
Which is lucky for the driver as he dubbed her his “lucky charm.”
Not too lucky though, as he only took 11th place on Sunday.
Eliska Babickova & Andrea Kimi Antonelli
ELISKA and boyfriend Andrea, 18, clearly love life in the fast lane – as they’re both professional racing drivers.
She is more likely to be seen trackside this year as Andrea has been promoted to the F1 circuit and snatched fourth place for Mercedes Down Under.
Eliksa – the first woman to be crowned Italian champion of the OK karting class – will understand the nerves and determination involved when it comes to racing.
Outside the sport, she has a YouTube channel with her sisters, fellow drivers Petra and Tereza, where they document their lives.
Eliska and Andrea celebrated a year together in October, and while he is off racing all over the world, she is finishing high school and plans to study economics at uni.
Carmen Montero Mundt & George Russell
AS fans of Netflix documentary Drive To Survive will know, George loves nothing more than showing off his stunning 26-year-old Spanish girlfriend Carmen.
She appears to be a good omen too, as 27-year-old British Mercedes ace George took third place in the Aussie Grand Prix at the weekend.
The couple, who have been together since 2020, live in Monaco.
Carmen recently returned to studies after a finance job in London, but her life is worlds away from her childhood in Spain.
She said: “I always wanted to work in finance.
“My family struggled financially during the global crisis, and that determined what I wanted to do from a very young age.”
Hannah St John & Liam Lawson
HER rookie boyfriend Liam may have endured a nightmare start to his Red Bull career, but Hannah looked like a seasoned Wag as she cheered him on from the sidelines.
Wearing this black halter-neck dress to the race, she later changed into a striped blue two-piece to console the 23-year-old Kiwi driver after he swerved into the wall and crashed out in Melbourne.
Hannah, 23, graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Biomedical Sciences.
She also works as a model and influencer, with 40,000 followers and partnerships including Bvlgari.
The beauty flew to New Zealand last year to meet Liam’s family and followed him around the world in his last season as a Formula 2 driver.
She was also there to support him last year when he replaced Daniel Ricciardo for the last six races of the F1 season.
Alexandra Saint Mleux & Charles Leclerc
SHE has only been dating Ferrari ace Charles since 2023, but that hasn’t stopped Alexandra winning over legions of fans and becoming the second-most followed Formula 1 Wag on social media.
The Italian influencer – who has a degree in Art History and a social media account dedicated to her favourite pieces of work – is often seen trackside cheering on her boyfriend, who placed eighth yesterday.
She has also started carving out a career as a model, and last month appeared in adverts for Hailey Bieber’s beauty brand.
Alexandra, who has more than 1.6million followers on Instagram, often posts snaps of her pet dachshund, holidays and outfits, leading Tatler to brand her the “most stylish woman in F1” – quite the accolade.
Rebecca Donaldson & Carlos Sainz
SCOTTISH beauty Rebecca did a few laps of the showbiz circuit before she shacked up with Williams driver Carlos in 2023.
Now an established model, she started out in pageants and appeared on Britain’s Next Top Model on TV, and was linked to Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick.
These days she is often spotted cheering on 30-year-old Carlos, who she has dated since 2023, and was seen gracing the paddock this weekend in a body-hugging grey dress.
During her catwalk career, 28-year-old Rebecca has been a cover girl for Vogue and Marie Claire, and in October 2020 she launched her own activewear range, Muse.
Sara Pagliaroli & Lance Stroll
VICTORIA’S Secret Angel model Sara and 26-year-old Aston Martin race ace Lance made their public debut as a couple at the 2021 premiere of 007 blockbuster No Time To Die.
And with her bombshell good looks, the gorgeous 29-year-old Italian could pass for a Bond Girl herself.
Sara started modelling at 17 and has worked with brands including Replay Jeans and Adria Beachwear.
In 2020 she launched her own jewellery brand called Blue Lemon Jewels, and she is currently the face of clothing brand Yamamay.
Lily Muni He & Alexander Albon
LILY, 25, might be known to some as the girlfriend of F1 driver Alexander, 28, but she is a sports star in her own right.
The stunning brunette is a professional golfer who has been playing since the age of five and currently takes part in the US-based LPGA Tour.
Lily wasn’t there to cheer on Alexander as he took fifth place in Oz, but she showed her support on Instagram.
It was F1 that brought the pair together as they began their relationship after she watched Netflix series Drive To Survive.
They had their first date on a golf course in 2019.
While Lily travels the globe playing golf, she does find time to cheer on Alexander during races – such as at Silverstone in 2023, when she was spotted in the paddock.
Alexander repays the favour and has been seen supporting her on the green, posting about it on his own social media.
These two are well on their way to taking pole position as a true sporting power couple.
