Formula 1 isn’t just about speed, strategy, and insane engineering—it’s also a sport that thrives on glitz, glamour, and high-profile romances. The paddock has long been home to some of the most fascinating partnerships in sports, from Nicole Scherzinger’s headline-grabbing relationship with Lewis Hamilton to Jessica Michibata’s time alongside Jenson Button, and even ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell trading pop superstardom for the Red Bull pit wall as Christian Horner’s wife. While some WAGs have been full-fledged celebrities in their own right, others prefer to stay out of the spotlight, quietly supporting their partners as they chase championship glory. But no matter their approach, they all add to the spectacle of F1, turning race weekends into a mix of high-speed drama and high-society intrigue.
For the 2025 season, the grid remains stacked with a mix of long-standing relationships and fresh faces, each with their own career, background, and connection to the world’s fastest sport. From models and finance professionals to influencers and medical students, here’s a look at the women behind the drivers this season, how they found themselves in the F1 orbit, and what they bring to the table.
Kelly Piquet – Max Verstappen’s Partner
Together since: Late 2020
Kelly Piquet isn’t just any F1 girlfriend—she’s racing royalty. The daughter of three-time F1 world champion Nelson Piquet, Kelly grew up around motorsport but carved her own path as a model, columnist, and social media influencer. She has worked with publications like Marie Claire and Vogue, and has previously handled social media for Formula E. Her relationship with Verstappen made headlines in late 2020, and the two have been inseparable ever since. They recently announced they’re expecting their first child in 2025, marking a huge milestone in both their lives.
Carmen Montero Mundt – George Russell’s Girlfriend
Together since: 2020
Unlike many F1 WAGs, Carmen Montero Mundt prefers to stay out of the spotlight. A finance professional based in London, she studied at the University of Westminster before working as an investment broker. She met George Russell before his big Mercedes break, and their relationship has stayed strong through his rise in F1. While she doesn’t attend every race, she’s been spotted celebrating some of his biggest career moments, including his first win in Brazil in 2022.
Hannah St. John – Liam Lawson’s Girlfriend
Together since: 2023
Liam Lawson’s rise to an F1 seat in 2025 with Red Bull also brought his relationship into the paddock limelight. His girlfriend, Hannah St. John, has a background in biomedical sciences but has also built a solid social media following thanks to her TikTok presence. The two met in New Zealand and have been together since 2023, balancing life between their respective careers. While Hannah keeps things relatively private, she’s often seen at the track supporting Liam’s growing F1 career.
Eli Babickova – Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s Girlfriend
Together since: 2023
Andrea Kimi Antonelli might be the youngest driver on the grid, but he’s already got a long-term partner in Eli Babickova. Not much is publicly known about Eli, but she and Antonelli have been together since his final years in junior formula racing. As he makes his F1 debut with Mercedes in 2025, she’s expected to be a familiar face in the paddock.
Flavy Barla – Esteban Ocon’s Girlfriend
Together since: Late 2023
Flavy Barla is a true all-rounder—she’s a medical student, model, and former Miss Côte d’Azur. The French beauty queen first caught attention in the motorsport world when she started dating Esteban Ocon in 2023. She’s a regular in the Alpine garage, supporting Ocon while balancing her medical studies. With brains and beauty, she’s one of the most interesting personalities among the 2025 WAGs.
Alexandra Saint Mleux – Charles Leclerc’s Girlfriend
Together since: 2023
Alexandra Saint Mleux and Charles Leclerc were first linked in mid-2023 after his split with longtime partner Charlotte Siné. Unlike her predecessor, Alexandra keeps a much lower profile, with a mostly private social media presence. What is known is that she has a strong interest in art and culture, with Leclerc occasionally sharing glimpses of their life together on Instagram. She’s often seen supporting him at Ferrari events, though she prefers to let Charles take the limelight.
Rebecca Donaldson – Carlos Sainz’s Girlfriend
Together since: 2023
Rebecca Donaldson is one of the biggest names in the fashion world among the F1 WAGs. A successful model, she’s worked with major brands and even owns her own activewear line. Originally from Scotland, she’s been based in London and LA for most of her career. Her relationship with Carlos Sainz became public in 2023, and she’s since been spotted at several races. Given Sainz’s uncertain future in F1 after 2025, she’s expected to remain a strong presence in his next chapter, wherever that may lead.
