Formula One: Drive to Survive has taken the world by storm and Melbourne Grand Prix is just about to gear up, but F1 would not be what it is without the wives and girlfriends supporting our fave drivers on and off the race track.
That’s right, your celebrity crushes on F1 are not all single as I’m sure you love to pretend in your head. Daniel Ricciardo and Charles Leclerc do indeed have girlfriends, I’m afraid to tell you. However, in good news for you horny girls, gays and theys, other F1 drivers are indeed potentially on the market!
While we’re well acquainted with certain love interests from the show, not everything happens in the public light. Let’s give our fave drivers’ supportive WAGs the limelight they deserve! (And snoop on which F1 drivers might be in need of girlfriends, hehe.)
Meet the F1 Driver’s girlfriends and wives of the 2025 season
Hannah St John, Liam Lawson’s girlfriend
Hannah St John,21, is a California girl who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from Arizona State University. Not only is she dating Red Bull Racing newcomer Liam Lawson, 23, but she’s also making waves on social media as an influencer, with a growing following on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
The couple started dating in October 2022, and Hannah seems to be here in Australia to support her manz at the Melbourne Grand Prix. Side note: when PEDESTRIAN.TV got to interview Liam before the festivities began for the race, we spotted Hannah as Liam’s screensaver on his phone and it was V cute.
Alexandra Saint Mleux, Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend
Charles Leclerc, 26, who made history as the youngest member of Ferrari’s team in 2019 and then won F1’s Grand Prix in 2022, was first spotted with Italian TikTok star Alexandra Saint Mleux, 22, last year.
Mleux boasts nearly 3 million followers on both Instagram and TikTok, with her videos consistently clocking more than a million views. She posts a mix of lifestyle, fashion and make up content, showing off her glamorous life and travels.
Much like her relationship with Leclerc, her Instagram is private — but she has a public Instagram where she documents art pieces she’s seen in museums, galleries and online.
The lovebirds are pretty quiet about their relationship, with neither publicly confirming that they are dating one another. However, Leclerc told Gala France in 2023 that he was seeing someone, and the two have been spotted together at multiple events.
Rebecca Donaldson, Carlos Sainz Jr’s girlfriend
The Spanish driver, 34, was first linked to Scottish model Rebecca Donaldson, 28, in 2023, when the two were spotted canoodling in Italy. How romantic! They were seen at a golf course in Amsterdam two months later, which fans took as confirmation the two are together.
Donaldson, who previously dated Scott Disick (so random!) is based in the UK, but has found success all over the world — she was on the cover of both Vogue Ukraine and Marie Claire México.
In 2020, she launched her own activewear line called Muse Activewear, which is apparently based on “the minimalism trend ‘woke luxe’.” What the actual F is “woke luxe”, you wonder? Neutral, minimalist colours, apparently. Yeah, I don’t understand by the word ‘woke’ is in there either.
Kelly Piquet, Max Verstappen’s girlfriend
Strap in for Max Verstappen, the man who made history in 2017 as F1’s youngest ever competitor, and has won four Formula One World Drivers’ Championship titles in his life. Aaaaaand then got caught up in some legal drama after he was filmed speeding (off the tracks) by a mate. RIP.
Verstappen, 27, has been with his long-term girlfriend Kelly Piquet, 36, since 2020, though the two didn’t go public until 2021. They have a nine-year age gap, and the Dutch-Brazilian model has a five-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
The pair recently announced on Instagram that they are expecting a baby, with the caption reading: “Mini Verstappen-Piquet on the way. We couldn’t be happier with our little miracle.”
Piquet is the daughter of Nelson Piquet, a legendary F1 driver, and sister of Nelson Piquet JR, a professional stock car racer and former F1 racer — so perhaps it’s no surprise she ended up with Verstappen.
She’s modelled for Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Miu Miu, though she’s actually had quite a few career changes. When she was in university, she was an assistant stylist with Vogue, and she also worked as a social media and PR consultant for Formula E for two years.
Carmen Montero Mundt, George Russell’s girlfriend
English racer George Russell, 27, began dating Carmen Montero Mundt, also 27, in 2020. The two met through a mutual friend, who I’m sure is feeling very smug about introducing the two now that they can flex they’re the reason behind a mate becoming the girlfriend of an F1 driver.
Mundst worked as an investor relations associate last year, and previously worked as an associate consultant at Delta Capita.
To put it simply for the girlies whose eyes are glazing over: she works in finance.
The two often post photos travelling and attending events together. Mundst has also been spotted supporting Russell at his races.
Although the couple haven’t announced an engagement publicly, internet sleuths are convinced the pair will be walking down the aisle very soon. Rumour started swirling when fans caught a comment from Australian former driver Mark Weber on a video of the couple working together. “Please help the bride out with the rowing technique mate,” the comment read, per Cosmopolitan.
It could be a poor choice of words OR it could be a very accurate slip up — only time will tell. Who knows, maybe we’ll see a ring being flashed around the Melbourne Grand Prix.
Lily Zneimer, Oscar Piastri’s girlfriend
Fun fact, F1 driver Oscar Piastri, 23, was born in Melbourne, Australia, but he actually met his girlfriend Lily Zneimer while the two attended an English boarding school! They’ve been dating since they were 17, which is either really cute and a huge flex, or cringe, depending on which member of Gen Z you ask.
Unsurprisingly, they’re pretty private about their relo — I would be too if my high school boyfriend suddenly catapulted to worldwide fame because of a racing documentary.
Despite that, Zneimer does attend Piatri’s races — like she said in an interview with Eff Won podcast, they’re “private not secretive”.
Zneimer is a recent engineering graduate who has been rumoured to want to dive into the F1 world.
F1 photo journalist Kym Illman said in video six months ago, “He [Piastri] has been going out with Lily Zneimer for some years now. She is British, polite and quite classy. She studies engineering in University and would love to get a job in F1. With her contacts, I’d say she has a fair chance.”
Ebony Zippora Gold, Jack Doohan’s girlfriend
Ebony Zippora Gold is a fellow Aussie who keeps a relatively low profile, preferring to keep her social media accounts private. She and Jack Doohan, who is 21, have been together for about five years, with their relationship becoming more visible in 2022 when Ebony shared videos of them vacationing together on TikTok.
Although neither Jack nor Ebony has publicly confirmed their relationship status I feel like a TikTok montage is basically the same thing. As Jack prepares to take on a full-time role with Alpine in the 2025 F1 season, it’s likely Ebony will become a more familiar face in the paddock.
Melissa Jiménez, Fernando Alonso‘s girlfriend
Two-time F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, 43, split with his long-term girlfriend Andrea Schlager, 42, in early 2023. Since then, rumours have been rife with who he’s shacked up with, and the latest link fans are theorising about is sports journalist Melissa Jiménez, 37. Awww, it’s like the Superman and Lois Lane of sports!
Jiménez covers motorsports specifically so it’s no surprise the two could be linked.
Marilou Bélanger, Lance Stroll’s girlfriend
Marilou Bélanger, 26, has been the girlfriend of Canadian F1 driver Lance Stroll, 26, since 2023.
Bélanger, who works as a model, first began posting pictures of Stroll in September, and then the two hard-launched their relationship in December.
Flavy Barla, Esteban Ocon’s girlfriend
In sad news for Esteban Ocon, 27, but good news for thirsty F1 fans, the French racing driver broke up with his long-term girlfriend Elena Berri, 24, last year. However, don’t get your hopes up — it wasn’t long before Flavy Barla, a 21-year-old French medical student and model, debuted her relo with Ocon.
There were rumours abound for ages about the two as they suspiciously liked each other’s IG posts and followed each other’s family. And then, voila, Barla posted pictures of the two of them together and the rest is history.
Francisca ‘Kika’ Cerqueria Gomes, Pierre Gasly’s girlfriend
Kika Cerqueira Gomes is a 22-year-old Portuguese model and influencer who lives in Paris (and is friends with Hailey Bieber??? So random).
She and French driver Pierre Gasly, 29, were first spotted together in a club in 2022, and in 2023 they hard-launched their relo on Instagram.
Eli Bábíčková, Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s girlfriend
Eli Bábíčková, 19, girlfriend of new kid on the grid for Mercedes, F1 driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli, 18, is a talented individual in her own right. Hailing from the Czech Republic, Eli is a skilled karting competitor, having won the 2023 Italian championship in the OK karting class. She and Kimi have been together since 2023, celebrated their first anniversary in October 2024 and are just overall cute as heck together on her socials.
She also has a shared YouTube channel called Welcome To The Sisterhood.
Isabella Bernardini, Gabriel Bortoleto’s girlfriend
Gabriel Bortoleto, the 20-year-old Brazilian racing sensation, has been making waves in the F1 world, and by his side is his girlfriend, Isabella Bernardini.
Isabella, also from Brazil, is currently studying Computer Science in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Okay woman in STEM!!
The couple has been together since 2020, keeping their relationship relatively private despite Bortoleto’s rising fame. While Isabella’s age isn’t publicly disclosed, it’s speculated that she’s around the same age as Gabriel.
Muni ‘Lily’ He, Alexander Albon’s girlfriend
You’ve probably seen picks of Lily He, 24, supporting Alexander Albon, 27, off the race track, but did you know she also plays professional sports?
She is a professional golfer and plays for the US-based Ladies Professional Golf Association.
She’s been playing golf since she was little and lived in China, and her love for the sport is also (kinda) how she met Albon — she reportedly slid into his DMs in 2019 after seeing him on Drive to Survive, and then went on a date where Albon tried golf. Please tell me she did the reverse of that trope where men try to baby girls who are trying golfing for the first time.
Eglė Ruškytė, Nico Hülkenberg’s wife
German F1 racer Nico Hülkenberg, 37, has been married to model and fashion designer Eglė Ruškytė, 34, since 2015 and get this: she crochets luxury resortwear. Her business is literally called “That Crochet Girl”. I’m obsessed.
The two share a bebe and a puppy, and while they’re pretty private about their marriage, Hülkenberg posts heaps of photos of his family and Ruškytė is often seen at his races.
Does Lewis Hamilton have a girlfriend?
Okay, okay, the answer I’m sure many of you have been waiting for. Is THE legend of F1 (HELLO, SEVEN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS) single and ready to mingle?
At the moment, it does look like Lewis Hamilton, 39, does not have a girlfriend. But, do not get your hopes up girlies: the latest gorgeous lady Hamilton has been linked with is the one and only Sofia Vergara. Romance rumours started when the pair were seen out to lunch in January. A source later told Us Weekly that the outing was “merely a casual lunch with a big group of friends in a group setting” and “by no means a date”, but a girl can dream. No, seriously the piccies are so cute and they would make such a hot couple. I don’t make the rules!!
Hamilton has previously been linked to Gigi Hadid, Shakira, and Nicole Scherzinger. This man has a taste for the high profile — but don’t let that stop you from day dreaming.
Does Yuki Tsunoda have a girlfriend?
Though Japanese F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda, 24, was plagued with rumours in 2023 that he was dating his publicist, so far there’s no confirmed girlfriends and he’s continued to keep his private life out of the spotlight.
Does Oliver Bearman have a girlfriend?
Oliver Bearman, 19, was previously linked to Estelle Ogilvy, a 25-year-old model and law student. However, their relationship reportedly ended in July 2024, with rumours of a messy breakup. Estelle, known for her modeling career and social media presence, has been at the centere of an F1 love triangle involving Oliver and Franco Colapinto. I mean the WattPad novel could write itself.
Does Isack Hadjar have a girlfriend?
It looks like Isack Hadjar is single. No, seriously I dug DEEP to find out anything about this man and he has kept his personal life in a the vault. Respectable TBH. But he is such a cutie, it’s only a matter of time before he gets snapped up aka this is your sign ladies to get to DM sliding!
Does Lando Norris have a girlfriend?
Lando Norris, 25, seems to be single following his reported split in August 2024 with Portuguese model and actress Margarida Corceiro. The pair were spotted in April 2024 with Margarida attending Norris’ racing events, including the Miami Grand Prix in May.
Well, wasn’t that a journey? You’re officially prepped with knowledge of all the F1 drivers’ girlfriends and wives, just in time for the Melbourne Grand Prix.
Now, if you need me, I will be watching thirsty fancams of F1 drivers on TikTok.
