Formula One WAGs and their whopping net worths after Netflix's Drive to Survive

The wives and girlfriends of footballers rose to fame in the early 2000s and made the term a career path in its own right. Just look at Coleen Rooney, who started as Wayne Rooney’s high school girlfriend and is now arguably as famous – if not more – than her spouse. While footballers have busy schedules, there aren’t many athletes with diaries as full as a Formula 1 racing driver.

Thanks to the Netflix series Drive to Survive, which premiered in 2019, a fresh wave of people got to experience the thrill of the race and are keen to know more about the drivers, particularly their love lives. But who are the partners of the world’s most famous racers and what do they do?
