Influencers to professional golfers: Meet the Formula One WAGs turning heads on the racetrack
Praying Lando Norris is still available
Following an exciting British Grand Prix, can we say that F1 is finally back? After a few years of Max Verstappen dominance, the 2024 formula one season slowly seems to be breaking away from that mould. We have now seen six different Grand Prix winners with Lewis Hamilton being the 6th, winning his home race at Silverstone yesterday after 945 days without a win, and we’ve only reached the halfway point of the season!
The glamorous life of a Formula One driver is just as entertaining off the track as it is on the track. While some struggle to make time for other commitments when performing at such a high level of a competitive sport, these drivers manage to juggle their personal and professional lives, with most being in relationships and a few on the dating scene (always a nice surprise when Lando pops up on Raya!). Here is a run through of some of the Formula One WAGs we’ve seen at the paddock most recently.
Alexandra Saint Mleux – Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend
Alexandra Saint Mleux is Charles’ most recent girlfriend since he ended his relationship with Charlotte Seine last year. The couple have made many public appearances this year, with Alexandra becoming a regular in the Ferrari garage cheering on Charles. They even welcomed adorable puppy Leo Leclerc (pictured above) into their family.
Kelly Piquet – Max Verstappen’s girlfriend

Max Verstappen is not the first Formula One driver to have dated Kelly Piquet, with her previously being in a relationship with Russian driver Danil Kvyat, whom she shares a daughter with, between 2017 and 2019. It would seem that Max Verstappen got the upper hand on Kvyat with him taking his seat at Red Bull and later going on to date his ex-girlfriend.
Nonetheless, the couple have been together since 2020 and are still going strong, with many fans gushing over the fatherly role Max plays in Kelly’s daughter Penelope’s life. Kelly is also the daughter of three time Formula One World Champion, Nelson Piquet.
Lily Muni He – Alex Albon’s girlfriend

Alex and Lily are the ultimate couple goals. The pair have been dating since 2019 and have kept fans aspiring towards their relationship ever since. They often share snippets of their life on social media, both immersing themselves in each other’s worlds, which makes for a fun pairing given that Lily is a professional golfer. Lily is definitely one of the sportier Formula One WAGs.
Carmen Mundt – George Russell’s girlfriend

Carmen was first spotted with George in 2019. She works in the management and finance sector but also has a large social media presence where she always shows her support for George’s racing.

Despite not having a seat for next year, Carlos Sainz Jr managed to bag Scottish Model Rebecca Donaldson. The newly official couple have made several appearances in the paddock this year.

Popular Aussie driver Daniel Ricciardo, commonly referred to as the “honey badger”, has been in one of the more lowkey relationships on the grid with actress Heidi Berger. The two are often pictured outdoors doing wholesome activities together. Heidi is also the daughter of former f1 driver Gerhard Berger – some could say she was born to be queen of the Formula One WAGs.
