Lives of the F1 WAGs revealed: They’re the new queen bees of the sport world. Now MOLLY CLAYTON tells their secrets – from money to their splashy lives… and the ‘love triangle’ that electrified their circle

I must say, perusing through these extraordinary lives of these remarkable women is nothing short of exhilarating! Each one stands as a testament to resilience, ambition, and grace. From finance whizzes to racing royalty, they’ve navigated the world of Formula One with poise and panache, all while carving out their own paths in various fields.

For many years, Formula 1 garnered both acclaim and controversy due to its association with playboys and the use of ‘trackside models’. These models would often be seen posing provocatively near F1 cars or walking around the pits carrying umbrellas for the vehicles, while drivers were recognized widely for their alleged high number of romantic relationships. For instance, the 70’s champion, James Hunt, boasted about having intimate encounters with approximately 5,000 women.

But how times have changed.

In the final stretch of the 2024 Formula One (F1) Grand Prix season, the significant others of the drivers play active roles, not merely as spectators. Similar to sports like football and tennis, being an F1 Wag (Wife And Girlfriend) can bring personal recognition – as a social media influencer.

In 2008, it was possibly singer Nicole Scherzinger who ignited the excitement, as she exuberantly sprinted across the paddock when Lewis Hamilton clinched the Championship. Often referred to as the “Pitlane Posh and Becks,” for eight years they collectively drew a fresh crowd to the Formula 1 track, with their fame mirroring his success.

Today’s Grand Prix Wags are emulating her path, seeking attention to advance their personal careers and finances. Ranging from a former urban financier to an Olympic cyclist, the women we’ve seen at races this season are equally determined as their thrill-seeking companions, and boast a large following on social media platforms.

As a devoted enthusiast, I’d like to share a piece of intriguing information: If you aspire to tread the same path as these legends, take note that Lewis Hamilton (age 39), his fellow British counterpart Lando Norris (25 years old), and two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso (43) are all currently single.

Meanwhile, here are the Wags, who are currently in pole position…
