The 2026 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix delivered far more than high-speed drama on the circuit.

Newlyweds in the Spotlight: The Leclercs Arrive in Miami
Perhaps the most anticipated couple of the season, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and his new wife Alexandra — now Alexandra Leclerc — made a memorable appearance in Miami. The pair married in a private ceremony in Monaco in February, and their Florida outing offered another glimpse of life as Formula 1’s most romantic partnership. Alexandra wore a black polka-dot mini dress, with the family dog Leo adding a touch of charm to the occasion.
Carmen Montero Mundt: Paddock Elegance Alongside Championship Contender Russell
Carmen Montero Mundt, girlfriend of Mercedes driver George Russell, arrived at the Miami International Autodrome in a striking orange two-piece dress — a bold and fitting choice for the Florida sun. With Russell among the title favourites this season, Carmen has become one of the most recognisable faces in the paddock.
From Buenos Aires to Miami: Colapinto and Rafiko Draw the Crowds
Alpine’s Franco Colapinto was accompanied by Argentine singer and actress Maya Rafiko, whose own celebrity status in Latin America has made them one of the most talked-about pairings of the 2026 season. Elsewhere, Carlos Sainz brought Scottish model Rebecca Donaldson to the Hard Rock Stadium, while Alex Albon and Lily He, Esteban Ocon and Flavio Barla, and young Haas driver Oli Bearman and his girlfriend Alicia Toryani all added to the paddock’s considerable star power.
The Verstappen Family Contingent Makes Its Presence Felt
Max Verstappen was joined in Miami by his mother, sister, and partner Kelly Piquet, who arrived alongside her brother Nelson Piquet Jr. — making for a full family occasion on both sides of the paddock gate. Meanwhile, despite Sergio Perez’s absence from the grid this season, his wife was among those present on Sunday, a reminder of the enduring bonds the sport forges.
