F1 Drivers’ Wives and Girlfriends 2025 by Kym Illman

Let me introduce you to the wives and girlfriends of 15 current F1 drivers. In this group you will find models, influencers, TV reporters, students and two mums. Every year there are new inclusions and a few departures from this select club.
I’ve spoken with many of these women at various races and often supplied them with images. Of course the level of attention in the paddock can be an eye-opener at first, but most adjust quickly and many make it work for them.

Pierre Gasly and Kika Cerqueira Gomes
Pierre’s girlfriend Kika is a Portuguese fashion model. They started going out in 2023. She is a livewire, a classy dresser and socially brilliant. With about a million followers, she is very much part of Team Gasly.

Lando Norris and Magui Corceiro
Magui is a newcomer to this group in 2025. Like Kika, Magui Corceiro is Portuguese. She is an actress, model and influencer with roughly 2.1 million Instagram followers, most of whom were following her well prior to the pair meeting.

Carlos Sainz and Rebecca Donaldson
Rebecca Donaldson is a Scottish model. She first popped up in Monaco in 2023, then arrived as Carlos’s guest in Austin and Mexico later that year. Carlos is comfortable in the relationship and was happy to show his feelings for my lens in the Jeddah paddock earlier this year. She has more 600,000 followers.

George Russell and Carmen Montero Mundt
Carmen Montero Mundt is Spanish. She worked in London prior to moving to Monaco. She has more than 650,000 followers and brands line up to reach her audience.

Fernando Alonso and Melissa Jiménez
Melissa Jiménez is a Spanish TV presenter and has been dating Fernando for a couple of years. She is great company, has a healthy following and appears on DAZN. You will often see her travelling to and from races on Fernando’s jet.

Oscar Piastri and Lily Zneimer
Oscar introduced me to Lily Zneimer at the 2022 Australian GP when he was Alpine’s reserve driver. Lily keeps a very low profile on social media. She is polite, quiet and classy, and holds an engineering degree.

Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux
I met Alexandra Saint Mleux at Charles’s home race in Monaco in 2023. She is a model and influencer with roughly 2.5 million followers and is a dream fit for fashion brands. She and Charles adopted a miniature long-haired dachshund that often turns heads in the paddock.

Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet
Kelly Piquet and Max have been together for more than five years. Kelly has a sizeable Instagram audience of 2+ million and did not attend any of the first 15 races kin 2025 due to the arrival of the pair’s first child in May 2025.

Alex Albon and Lily Muni He
Lily met Alex online and they have been together since 2019. She is a professional golfer, born in Chengdu, China and raised in Canada. They are a terrific couple to photograph; youthful and fun. She supports him at races and he sometimes helps her on the course.

Kimi Antonelli and Eliška Babičková
A newcomer to this group. Eliška Babičková is from the Czech Republic and knows motorsport well through karting. We first spotted the pair in Jeddah this year when Kimi put his arm around her as they arrived for qualifying. They met in 2023 and she graduated from the American Academy in Prague.

Nico Hulkenberg and Egle “Sunny” Hulkenberg
Egle Hulkenberg is the only wife in this group of 15. She married Nico in 2021. Their daughter Noemi arrived later that year and is a confident young woman. Egle is the crochet queen, she even crocheted me a bucket hat.

Esteban Ocon and Flavy Barla
Esteban’s girlfriend is a French medical student and former Miss Côte d’Azur. Her first track visit was post-season testing in Abu Dhabi in 2023. She has more than 255,000 Instagram followers.

Before the last three, a note on drivers I have not seen with a partner in the paddock this season. Lewis Hamilton, Yuki Tsunoda, Isack Hadjar and Franco Colapinto. Lance Stroll has not been seen trackside with a young lady since splitting with Marilou Bélanger last year.

Ollie Bearman and Alicia Torriani
I met Alicia Torriani at the season opener in Melbourne where she accompanied Ollie and his family. Like Lily Zneimer, Alicia keeps her Instagram private. She lives in Monaco and works at All Time as an account manager. That company was founded by Charles and Lorenzo Leclerc along with her father Anthony Stent-Torriani.

Gabriel Bortoleto and Isabella Bernardini
Brazilian rookie Gabriel has brought Isabella Bernardini to a stack of races this year. She is Brazilian, studies computer science in the Netherlands and joined Gabriel at the F1 movie preview in New York.

Liam Lawson and Hannah St John
Hannah St John is a model and content creator who splits her time between Newport Beach and Monaco. She is no slouch on the study front, having graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science.
