Formula 1 roared back onto our screens in March, and it has been an exhilarating season, with Mercedes teen sensation Kimi Antonelli currently leading the pack.

While the high demands of racing across the globe might seem antithetical to a relationship, many drivers have been able to find love, with Charles Leclerc marrying his long-time girlfriend, Alexandra Saint-Mleux, in a private ceremony ahead of the season, while Lewis Hamilton has got everyone talking, thanks to his relationship with Kim Kardashian.

Meanwhile, other drivers on the grid have started their own families, with the likes of four-time world champion Max Verstappen welcoming a daughter with his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet.

After months of speculation, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian went Instagram official back in April.

Sharing a video of him drifting in a vintage Ferrari in Tokyo,  the last shot revealed that he had been driving with Kim in the passenger seat, who is seen smiling and laughing as the car comes to a stop.

A source told HELLO! that the couple started seeing each other after meeting at an Aspen New Year's party.

"Lewis was there with three of his friends and some of his team members, but they still managed to have an intimate chat together and there appeared to be chemistry between them inside the bash," they told us.

Since then, the duo has been spotted at the Super Bowl, as well as at a Colorado resort that is close to the F1 champ's heart.

The driver is most known for his on/off relationship with Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, which lasted for seven years. During their time together, the former couple sparked several engagement rumours, but it was never to be…

The star has since been linked to names like Nicki Minaj, Kendall Jenner, Winnie Harlow, Rita Ora, Rihanna, Viktoria Odintcova, Camila Kendra, and Shakira.

Speaking to TIME in 2025, Lewis addressed his relationship status, saying: "I'm hungry, driven, don't have a wife and kids. I'm focused on one thing, and that's winning. That's my No.1 priority."

The racing ace previously dated Portuguese model Luisinha Oliveira. The pair were quite an item, with the beauty even attending the BRIT Awards with the sportsman in 2022. However, in September, he confirmed they had gone their separate ways. "After time and consideration, Luisa and myself have mutually decided to end our relationship but remain good friends," he said in a statement.

Speaking to Blick about walking down the aisle with Kelly, Max teased: "Marry? Me? Now you've publicly pressured me into saying a date. I don't know, time will tell. Right now, I'm very, very happy with Kelly. But personally, I don't have a schedule for when I'm going to get down on one knee in front of her. It's all supposed to happen spontaneously."

The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Lily, last year. Max confirmed the news alongside a pair of black-and-white photos of his newborn. "Welcome to the world, sweet Lily," he wrote. "Our hearts are fuller than ever - you are our greatest gift. We love you so much."
