Meet the glam partners of Formula One stars from pro golfer to TikTok sensation
It was McLaren's Lando Norris who went over the line first with Oscar Piastri and Nico Hulkenberg second and third respectively.
Here, DailyMail.com takes a look at the stunning WAGs many of whom were there at the weekend as the F1 circus pulled into the UK.
Dating Max Verstappen
Verstappen and Piquet welcomed their first child together earlier this year. The F1 star announced the birth on Instagram, where he wrote: 'Welcome to the world, sweet Lily. Our hearts are fuller than ever - you are our greatest gift. We love you so much.'
While Lily is Max's first child, model Piquet, 36, already has a daughter, Penelope, born in 2019, from her previous relationship with Formula One driver Daniil Kvyat, 30.
Kelly is a 35-year-old model from Brazil and hasn't just bagged herself a boyfriend who is a four-time world champion, but also happens to be the daughter of one too - with her father, Nelson Piquet, having the same badge of honor himself.
Nelson is a controversial figure and was fined for racist and homophobic comments about Lewis Hamilton two years ago.
In an interview in November 2021, Piquet, 72, used a Portuguese racial slur in reference to the seven-time world champ.
Hamilton called for action to change 'archaic mindsets' after footage of the interview surfaced. Piquet then apologized but argued that his comments were mistranslated.
The judge in the case, Pedro Matos de Arrudo, said the compensation was 'so that, as a society, we can someday be free from the pernicious acts that are racism and homophobia'.
Kelly and Max have been dating since January 2021 and are often spotted with Kelly's daughter, Penelope.
The model recently pleaded with social media fans to stop spreading rumors about her after facing 'a strange and upsetting wave of accusations' in the last three years, some of which relate to her previous relationships.
Alexandra Saint Mleux
Dating Charles Leclerc
Alexandra Saint Mleux is a TikTok influencer who stole the heart of her beau, Charles Leclerc over a year ago, with the two having made their first public appearance in March 2023.
In May of the same year, her racing driver love confirmed the budding romance. Since then, the pair have only gained in strength and even appeared at the Monaco Grand Prix gala dinner with Prince Albert and Princess Charlene following Charles's home-race victory earlier this year.
When she's not cheering her super speedy boyfriend on, she's filming lifestyle and home videos for her 886.900 TikTok followers.
Her glamorous videos are the hallmark of an F1 WAG with her feed full of luxury travel locations, designer outfit fit checks and the odd few on glamorous yachts.
Alex isn't just beautiful in herself, but is a fan of all things cultural, being a passionate art historian.
Francisca Gomes
Dating Pierre Gasly
According to People magazine, Pierre, 27, has been dating model Francisca since 2022.
The couple however didn't go Instagram official until 2023, when the driver shared a photo of the pair bringing in the new year together in Dubai.
'Let's hope for a year with good health, filled with love, dopamine, adrenaline and many TROPHIES!' he wrote in the post.
'I wish you all an incredible year to you and with your loved ones. Let's make it one to remember.'
They have since made glamorous public appearances at events like Cannes Film Festival and Wimbledon - and as reported by People, Pierre has even called Francisca his 'lucky charm'.
As well as being a model and influencer, Francisca - who is from Portugal - also appears to be a keen traveler.
She often documents her adventures on Instagram, where she has 818,000 followers.
Carmen Montero Mundt
Dating George Russell
Carmen Montero Mundt has been in a relationship with George Russell, 26, since 2020 - and as reported by GP Blog, the couple happily live in Monaco together.
According to the outlet, 27-year-old Carmen has previously worked in finance - as an investor relations associate at Ruffer LLP in London - but recently announced that she is going back to studying.
The driver's very glamorous girlfriend - who is originally from Spain and moved to the UK aged 18 - has a business degree from the University of Westminster.
Carmen has more than 409,000 followers on Instagram, and often shares snaps of her luxury travels and enviable style online.
The couple are understood to have met through friends in London, and have made a number of public appearances since first getting together.
Lily Muni He
Dating Alexander Albon
Lily Muni He and Alexander Albon are a sporty couple match made in heaven - as both are accomplished athletes.
Lily, 26, is professional golfer from China, who plays on the US-based LPGA Tour, while Alexander, 29, has been praised for his success in racing.
As reported by NBC Sports, Lily was introduced to golf when she was only five years old, by her father.
She grew up in Vancouver, Canada before moving to the U.S. and now is based in Los Angeles.
In 2018, she opened up about her strategy for success throughout the Q-Series - not paying attention to her ranking during or after any of the final stage of the LPGA's qualifying tournament.
She told GolfChannel.com, as reported by NBC Sports: 'I didn't know I made it until everyone started congratulating when we were all done.
'It's the first time I've ever done that, not look where I stand on the leaderboard.' However, she admitted halfway through, her father accidentally let her know her place on the leaderboard.
She and Alex started dating in 2019, after Lily watched a Netflix documentary on F1.
'I was in a slump. I was in a really bad place mentally. It was my rookie year and I wasn't playing well at all. A friend of mine convinced me to watch a (Formula One) documentary on Netflix called Drive to Survive'. They said, "I think you'd really like it. It helps you to see another perspective of a sport that's under so much pressure", she told Golf Week in 2021.
'So I watched the whole entire season in one day. I know as bizarre as this might sound, it got me really motivated in golf instantly.'
After getting more curious about F1, Lily started following Alex on Instagram and 'really didn't think that much of it'.
However, unbeknownst to her Alex was also getting into golf at the same time - and so followed her.
'I guess that's how we technically met,' she explained. 'We started talking on the phone. We were both rookies in 2019 and I thought that was extremely cool.
'Eventually he had an event in the States and afterwards, he and his friend took a little break in LA and that's how we properly met for the first time.'
Rebecca Donaldson
Dating Carlos Sainz
Carlos Sainz started his relationship with Rebecca Donaldson in 2023, with the pair first becoming an item in June two years ago.
The 29-year-old Scottish model has been sighted at races with her beau, including at the Las Vegas GP, which he came incredibly close to winning in 2023.
Donaldson has appeared on the covers of high-end fashion magazines like Vogue and Marie Claire since winning a beauty pageant aged 17, when she was a student at the prestigious Perth Academy, dreaming of breaking into the fashion industry.
'My mum entered me and I was really surprised when I found out,' she said at the time.
'I am really excited to have won and am really looking forward to entering the Top Model UK competition.'
Rebecca was first linked to Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and Kourtney Kardashian's ex Scott Disick when the pair attended the premiere of a new series of the show in 2022.
They dated for two months before splitting up in June of that year.
She founded the activewear fashion label Muse in 2020 during the pandemic, explaining: 'I knew I wanted to create something that not only I would wear and be proud of putting my name against, but also something that was missing from the market.'
The couple were first seen out together in Milan in June 2023, then fans started to think they were an item when they appeared at a golf course in Amsterdam in late August.
One of Sainz's sisters began following her on Instagram, adding fuel to speculation about a romance, before Donaldson took to the catwalk at Madrid Fashion Week last month in front of members of the driver's family.
While the pair haven't posted any shots of them together on their social media, they do comment on each other's posts regularly.
Lily Zneimer
Dating Oscar Piastri
Oscar Piastri, 23, enjoyed an impressive debut season on the grid in two years ago as he racked up 97 points and secured a creditable ninth-place finish in the drivers' standings.
The Australian's private life has generally been kept quiet since he came into the F1 world, but he has shared snaps with childhood sweetheart Lily Zneimer on social media.
In their most recent snap together, the pair could be seen on a trip to Japan.
The pair met at school and have been dating for nearly five years, with Zneimer regularly supporting the Australian at events.
She is reportedly still a student and the pair were also pictured together at the Autosport Awards.
Lando Norris
Margarida Corceiro
After Lando split from Luisinha Oliveira in 2022, he has been enjoying a lowkey romance with Portuguese model and actress, Margaradia Corceiro.
The pair were first seen together in May 2023 in a video on social media showing the 25-year-old driving his Fiat Jolly with her in the back of the classic car after she split from Barcelona star Joao Felix.
They were later spotted together at the Monte Carlo Masters last April but have predominantly kept their on-off relationship out of the spotlight.
Margarida is no stranger to flaunting her figure in scantily clad bikini snaps, sharing images from her trip to The Maldives.
Back again: Norris reportedly rekindled his romance with Portuguese model Margarida Corceiro this year
The McLaren star - who had held the record for most podiums without a race win - ended his barren run by beating triple world champion Max Verstappen to victory at the Miami Grand Prix in May 2024.
Corceiro has appeared on a number of Portuguese television shows and as per Portuguese outlet Maria, was a contestant in the country's version of Dancing With The Stars in 2020.
Norris and Corceiro continued to attend events together throughout much of last year before reports claimed that the pair had ended their short-term relationship.
Confirming the news ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, Norris coolly stated on-stage amidst a packed crowd after being asked if he would like a dog: 'If I do I need a girlfriend, and I don't have one.'
However, it appeared the pair have rekindled their romance after Corceiro was spotted by TV cameras during qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix in May.
Corceiro, a model and actress from Portugal, has had an on-off relationship with Norris
Flavy Barla
Dating Esteban Ocon
Good news: Haas driver Esteban Ocon went public with his relationship with influencer Flavy Barla in 2023
Popular: Barla has amassed a large social media following
Haas driver Esteban Ocon went public with his relationship with influencer Flavy Barla in 2023 following the breakdown of his five-year partnership with Italian model Elena Berri.
Barla, a 22-year-old medical student and compatriot of Ocon, has amassed a large social media following in addition to appearances in several beauty pageants.
The French lady won the coveted Miss Cote d'Azur in 2022 and finished as fifth runner-up in the 2023 Miss France contest. Barla has made a few appearances at Grand Prix to support her beau, with her first coming during the 2023 season finale in Abu Dhabi after she and Ocon were spotted in the paddock together.
The couple keep fans up to date with their exciting globe-trotting life on their social media channels.

Lewis Hamilton delivers most damning proof of his diminishing powers
Little encapsulated Lewis Hamilton's fading star this season quite like the sight of the seven-time world champion, a conjurer of all manner of miracles around Silverstone, trying and failing for 17 laps to hunt down a Sauber. Here, after all, was the figure who had adorned the history of the British Grand Prix with outrageous highlights. Take his rain dance in 2008, when he won by 68 seconds with water streaming down his visor, or his three-wheeled finish in 2020, when his front-left tyre delaminated rounding the final corner. And yet here his streak of 11 successive podium finishes at his home circuit came to an end at the hands of Nico Hülkenberg, a man who had not stood on the rostrum in 238 previous races. It was, to put it politely, galling. Traditionally, this is the place where Hamilton is immaculate, where the cheers of 140,000 fans inspire him to rediscover the sorcery of old. But he was anything but flawless on this occasion, twice losing control in the final stages on soft rubber as Hülkenberg, driving one of the day-glo green Saubers that had only amassed 29 points in 11 grands prix, disappeared into the distance. While his race engineer, Riccardo Adami, tried to congratulate him on fourth place, Hamilton would have none of it, shooting back: 'Oh mate, that was pretty bad overall. So much opportunity there that was missed.' His diagnosis was accurate. Although Ferrari deserved their share of blame, dropping him from fourth to eighth after the first round of pit stops, Hamilton was unusually error-prone himself, struggling to stay on track after the late switch to softs and then veering off the road with four laps left to surrender his chance of a maiden grand prix podium in red. There was a temptation to resist criticising too harshly, given the treacherousness of the conditions, with several mid-race downpours playing havoc with both strategy and racecraft. But was this not the type of challenge to make Hamilton come into his own? Had he not proved his enduring Silverstone love affair just 12 months earlier, winning a similar wet-dry race for his first victory in two and a half years? There has been the odd sign that Hamilton's edge could, at the age of 40, be slipping. In qualifying, the ultimate one-lap master suffered a spot of understeer at Club to sacrifice a potential front-row spot. It was in his abortive pursuit of Hülkenberg, though, that the cracks were most visible. At one stage he was within DRS range of the German but still could not produce the overtake, with his uncharacteristic errors leaving him stranded five seconds behind. Plainly, he was unimpressed with Ferrari's management of the race, placing his relationship with Adami under renewed strain. Hamilton has been memorably withering towards him already over the radio, losing patience over the Italian's dithering in Miami as he snapped: 'Have a tea break while you're at it.' Asked here whether he felt the team's important calls were correct, he replied: 'Not all of them. The first one wasn't a good call, because we got undercut by a bunch of people, so I'm not sure exactly what happened there. We'll have to go back and see what happened, but I was P4 and came out P8. I chose to come in close to the right time, but it was super tricky when I came back out, and I lost a ton of time. I went off at turn three, turn nine, turn 11 – it was just one of these days.' The worry is that these days are, increasingly, less the exception that Hamilton suggests. Once the consummate performer in the wet, he is finding that his typically infallible instincts are deserting him. The torrential rain in São Paulo last November, for example, should have been his opportunity to dazzle, bringing his full range of amphibian brilliance to the fore. Instead he was knocked out in the first phase of qualifying, creating such misery that he briefly floated the idea of breaking his Mercedes contract early. At Ferrari, there is no option of repeating this fit of pique. Hamilton is being paid £50 million a year to restore glory to the Prancing Horse, but so far that prospect looks hopelessly distant. He appears deflated, crestfallen, incapable either of carving a path to a record eighth world title or even of seizing his moment at the track he has made his manor. In one sense, you could not help but feel happy for Hülkenberg, a true grafter who had been waiting to savour the podium champagne for 15 years. But as he relished the fulfilment of a lifetime ambition, he acknowledged the weather had come to his aid, that the outcome would have been very different in the dry. The Sauber, after all, is supposed to be a backmarker, not a podium-chaser. What to make, then, of the fact that Hamilton, cheered relentlessly by his disciples at his beloved Silverstone, could still not reel it in? You could only regard it, ultimately, as the most damning evidence yet of his diminishing powers.
