Formula One fans are gearing up for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend, where Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to claw back points from current championship leader Max Verstappen.
The Belgian-Dutch Red Bull driver was victorious in the last three races, putting him 32 points clear of his Mercedes rival.
Cheering Max on is his glamorous Brazilian model girlfriend Kelly Piquet, who previously dated Daniil Kvyat for three years.
She is among the glossy pitlane posse of WAGs who’ll be championing their partners as they take to the track at Silverstone – either in person, thanks to the race getting the go-ahead for 140,000 spectators, or virtually as they watch from home.
Also cheering from the sidelines is Charlotte Sine, a 21-year-old architecture student who is dating Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, and aerospace engineer Caterina Masetti Zannini, girlfriend of Pierre Gasly.
