He’s known for his stylish and bold outfit choices.

And Lewis Hamilton once again looked effortlessly stylish as he prepared for race day at the Formula One Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, Italy, on Sunday.

The racing driver, 37, stood out from the crowd in a multicoloured tie-dye denim jacket, which he paired with the matching trousers.

Making his safety a priority, he donned a black face mask over his nose and mouth, while he pulled his hair back into a trendy man bun.

It comes as Lewis and Serena Williams are reportedly backing Sir Martin Broughton’s bid to buy Chelsea FC, with the stars prepared to invest in buying the Stamford Bridge club.

According to Sky News, the seven-time Formula One champion and the 23-time Grand Slam winner are ready to pledge £10million each to the deal as Chelsea is expected to be sold for around £2.5bn.

A spokesperson for Lewis said: ‘We can confirm that Lewis has joined the Sir Martin Broughton bid, however the financial figure reported in the Sky article isn’t accurate.’

Martin, the former chairman of British Airways and Liverpool FC, has apparently been in talks with the duo for weeks.

Lewis has previously spoken of how he supports Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal and has been a fan since he was five years old.

Sky News also claim that Lewis would ‘play a formal role in Chelsea’s future efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion’ if Martin’s bid ends up being successful.

Chelsea have been up for sale since March – shortly before Russian owner Roman Abramovich was hit by sanctions from the government due to his ties to Russia president Vladimir Putin.

Raine Group, the bank who are overseeing the Chelsea sale, could pitch their preferred bidder to the government as soon as this week.

Max Verstappen recently spoke against FIA’s system of gatekeeping young racing drivers from entering F1, which was placed especially after the Dutchman entered the sport. At the time, the Dutch driver was only 17 years old and became the youngest to participate in an F1 race.

Back in 2015, Verstappen entered F1 as a permanent driver, replacing Jean-Eric Vergne at Toro Rosso. To be precise, he was only 17 years and three days old when he raced in the season-opener in Australia.

Though Max Verstappen was performing on par with other seasoned F1 drivers, the FIA deemed him too young for the top formula series. After 2015, they raised the age limit to 18 for entering and participating in any F1 session. Furthermore, they ensured junior drivers secured 40 points from other formula categories to enter F1.

Speaking to the media after the 2024 F1 Miami GP, Max Verstappen stated that he understands the age limit and points rule came about because of him. However, he himself was against the system and how it stopped the likes of Mercedes junior Kimi Antonelli and other talented youngsters from entering F1 early.

“Yes, that rule came about because of me. But ultimately, it does not stop what it is intended for. It is not specifically against him (Antonelli), but in some cases, it can of course stop talent from being kept in Formula 1,” Verstappen said (via RacingNews365).

The Red Bull star opined that if a junior driver is quick enough, he should be given a chance in F1, regardless of his/her age.

“Look, if someone is seventeen or eighteen and he has twenty points, but he is very fast. Then why can’t he get into Formula 1? They have to pick up those 40 points first. I’m not a fan of that, of that whole system, but in the end the FIA has to think it’s okay. But I’d rather not have it,” he added.Max Verstappen wants younger racers to be themselves rather than becoming ‘second Max’

Max Verstappen recently advised the younger generation of racers to be themselves and not try to imitate him or any other driver too much.

In an exclusive interview with formule1.nl back in January 2024, the three-time world champion recalled how he never tried to imitate a driver and simply remained himself. On the other hand, he understands that juniors can be fans of legendary drivers in any motorsport category. Verstappen concluded that he would not want any youngster to try to become the next version of him.

“I especially hope that children want to be themselves. That’s how I used to be. I didn’t look up to anyone. I hope that maybe they get a little of that from me: always try to be and remain yourself and not try to imitate someone else. Of course, it’s also nice to be a fan of someone or to have them think: I want to do that later too. Because success inspires. But they shouldn’t want to become a second Max,” Verstappen said.

Max Verstappen is currently cruising at the top of the 2024 F1 drivers’ championship table with 136 points. Though the competition this season has tightened, the defending world champion has managed to keep a decent lead so far.

Raunchy early role comes back to haunt Meghan

Billed as ‘a real-life guide to sex, drugs and bad behaviour’, a shelved TV project now threatens to embarrass Meghan Markle in a big way.

You might think England’s royal family has total control of Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle — but they ain’t got nothing on hungry Hollywood producers.

Monday on The Late Late Show with James Corden, guest Max Greenfield (The Neighborhood) revealed he had filmed a raunchy pilot with Markle way back in 2011, after her stint as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal, and before her run on USA’s Suits.

“It was called like, The Girls and Boys Guide To Getting Down, Greenfield, 38, tells Corden. “It was a pilot for Comedy Central; Adam Pally was in it.”

Now, nearly a decade later, the long-shelved project will finally see the light of day.

“I got some sort of email recently saying, ‘This person has bought it and they’re putting it out’ and I was like, ‘Great, good for you,’” says Greenfield.

If the Queen isn’t on board with Meghan and Prince Harry being philanthropists, she sure isn’t going to be happy about this.

The 2011 pilot has been bought by a mystery distributor.
The IMDb plot synopsis for The Girls and Boys Guide to Getting Down bills it as an “outrageous” satirical guide to surviving a marathon bender (i.e., “which substances shouldn’t be mixed”) — and, of course, getting laid. Another familiar face stands out in the cast list: Eva Marcille, now a cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

No word yet on the mystery buyer — whose efforts to cash in on royal mania will almost certainly be greeted by a rabid audience hungry for all things Meghan.

Meanwhile, Green expressed some regrets about not befriending the future wife of Prince Harry.

“Meghan and I, we really didn’t connect after that or during that,” says Greenfield. “Look, had I known, I maybe would have played my cards a little differently.”

The pilot teased ‘A real-life guide to sex, drugs and bad behaviour.’

Kelly Piquet posted the modelling shots of her posing naked days after celebrating a second world championship title success for boyfriend Max Verstappen in Suzuka

Brazilian model Kelly Piquet stripped off for a stunning photoshoot this week, just days after partner Max Verstappen celebrated his second Formula 1 world title at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Dutch driver Verstappen has been dating Kelly, the daughter of F1 great Nelson Piquet Sr for nearly two years. Kelly was at Suzuka last weekend to celebrate her boyfriend’s race and championship win, posting a picture of herself kissing a delighted Verstappen who was holding the F1 world championship trophy.

Piquet is a popular model and the 33-year-old posted three images from a recent nature photoshoot where she appeared naked.

One of the pictures posted by Piquet shows her naked crouched in a classy shot with her long hair and arm covering her modesty. The picture is taken in a wooded backdrop with Piquet positioned on a rocky backdrop with the sun shinning behind her.

The pictures were taken for the Mirror Mirror magazine with a further picture showing a headshot of Piquet with jewellery in her mouth.

Piquet used to date Russian F1 driver Daniil Kvyat and the pair had a daughter together called Penelope in 2019. However, they broke up later the same year and she has been dating world F1 champion Verstappen for nearly two years.

Her father Piquet Sr is regarded as one of the sports greatest drivers winning three F1 world titles between 1981 and 1987.

Earlier this year Verstappen jumped to the defence of Piquet Sr who faced an Formula 1 lifetime ban following his n-word description of Lewis Hamilton.

Verstappen said Piquet was ‘not correct’ to use phrases when talking about Hamilton on a podcast which have been widely condemned as racist. The Red Bull driver insisted 70-year-old Piquet is a “nice guy”, is “not a racist”, should not be banned from the F1 paddock.

The world champion claimed that while the Brazilian’s remarks could not be excused, the incident had been “blown out of all proportion”.

As the world witnessed the 24-year-old’s legendary win, many were curious about the 33-year-old Brazilian beauty who had swept the wunderkind off his feet. The lovebirds officially announced their relationship at the beginning of 2021 after they spent the New Year’s holiday together in Dubai with Piquet’s family. So, what do we know about Kelly?

If her last name sounds familiar, you are right – Kelly Piquet is the daughter of the Brazilian three-time world champion driver Nelson Piquet. Born in 1988, Kelly grew up around the sport with her Dutch mother (also a former model) Sylvia Tamsma and her two siblings. Her older brother, Nelson Angelo Piquet, is a former Formula E and Formula One driver, while her younger sister Julia Piquet works at Motorsport.com and is dating Nascar driver Daniel Suarez, according to Essentially Sports.

Born in Homburg, Germany, the 33-year-old has lived around the globe. She spent most of her childhood in the south of France, then moved back to Brazil between the ages of 12 and 15. Piquet was also briefly at boarding school in England before she relocated to New York City, where she graduated from the Marymount Manhattan College, majoring in international relations. With her global exposure, Piquet speaks English, French and Portuguese.

While Piquet is blessed with good genes (and a fat bank account, obviously), she has also carved a name for herself as a stylist, columnist and public relations professional. Out of college, Piquet landed a job as an intern at Bergdorf Goodman’s couture buying office and then as an assistant stylist at Vogue México y Latinoamérica.

In 2011, she worked as a publicity intern at a PR firm called KCD Worldwide before becoming a columnist for Marie Claire Brazil. Then came a move back to London where she worked for over two years as Formula E’s social media and PR consultant. According to her LinkedIn page, she is now living in Monaco and working as a health and wellness coach for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

She is also a social media influencer

With over 600,000 followers on Instagram, Piquet often endorses brands on her social media. From APM Monaco and Only Natural Diamonds to Pepe Jeans, the Sagittarian influencer has also posed for Patbo and Lucas Boccalão previously, in addition to walking in several fashion runways. She recently shared birthday snaps in which she was seen posing with one of her close friends, the British fashion blogger Yasmin Devonport.

In 2017, Piquet dated the former Red Bull Russian driver Daniil Kvyat, with the couple having an adorable baby girl named Penelope in 2019, before calling it quits later the same year. Happily, Piquet’s new beau has shown also his fondness for Penelope, with the New York Post saying that Verstappen “regularly plays the role of doting stepdad” and often shared pictures of him with her.

In 2019, Piquet shared Penelope’s first picture on Instagram and wrote, “One month since I was gifted with the sweetest baby girl I could ever ask for … One month since my life took on a whole new meaning and now I fully understood what unconditional love means”.

When the seven-time Formula 1 world champion took her for a lightning-fast lap around the Miami International Autodrome, Kendall Jenner urged Lewis Hamilton to slow down.

The supermodel hopped into the passenger seat of the $136,000 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT with Hamilton on Saturday as she was in town to support Formula One’s all-female feeder series, F1 Academy.

“Oh my god,” she exclaimed, “and holy shit, I’m going to cry.”

Before Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, she once jokingly said to the Mercedes driver, “I literally hate you.” He was speeding around a bend.

In the midst of their steamy lap, Jenner inadvertently unintentionally revealed Hamilton’s intentions to attend the 2024 Met Gala.

“We have the Met Gala on Monday,” she said as he performed a burnout on the circuit and whirled the car around.

The reality personality exclaimed, “I feel so much better now that it’s over,” as the vehicle drew to a stop.

She admitted to her friends, “I screamed the entire time.” “It was both amazing and terrifying at the same moment.”

Being ambassadors for Tommy Hilfiger, the two left quickly to return to New York in time for Monday’s Met Gala.

Hamilton donned a special Burberry outfit honoring John Ystumllyn, one of the first Black gardeners in the UK, while Jenner dazzled in a 1999 Alexander McQueen archive gown that had never been worn before.

It came after he finished sixth in the Miami Grand Prix, the race that saw the first-ever Formula One triumph for fellow Briton Lando Norris.

Along with the young ladies competing in the junior racing series, Jenner was also spotted conversing with Susie Wolff, the director of the F1 Academy.

Since 2015, when Jenner and Hamilton were rumored to be dating, the athlete has maintained their friendship.

“I’ve been friends with Kendall for a long time, so we’re just friends,” Hamilton said in September 2015 to E! News.

“She is performing incredibly well, she is very level-headed and focused, and she just seems like a very grown-up young woman,” he continued.

Miami, May 3-5, 2024 – The Miami Grand Prix saw an impressive fusion of fashion and racing prowess as supermodel Kendall Jenner, F1 luminary Sir Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes-AMG Petronas, and American songstress Justine Skye graced the event in stylish Tommy Hilfiger ensembles, igniting fervor among fans.

In an era where Formula 1 and Grand Prix events transcend mere races to become vibrant stages for fashionistas, drawing not only drivers but also enthusiasts and VIP guests, the trio’s appearance added a glamorous dimension to the proceedings.

Jenner epitomized elegance with a hint of vintage flair, donning the latest creations from Tommy Hilfiger’s Spring 2024 collection.

Her striking presence was accentuated by a meticulously tailored Gingham dress, adorned with the fashion house’s signature red-and-white checkered pattern, complemented by chic loafer shoes, a testament to her impeccable sense of style.

Meanwhile, Hamilton paid homage to Tommy Hilfiger’s rich heritage, sporting a gray zip-lock vest from the esteemed brand’s 1999 Athletics collection, paired with cargo pants featuring distinctive red threads, exuding both comfort and dynamism.

During the speed test lap, Jenner captivated with her timeless white ensemble, incorporating classic designs such as linen shirts and modern high-waisted jeans.

In contrast, Hamilton opted for a dynamic, youthful look, donning an oversized T-shirt adorned with the iconic flag motif, paired with Aiden cargo pants from the TOMMY JEANS Spring 2024 collection, a nod to the brand’s innovative spirit.

New Zealand could have claimed some of the credit if Lewis Hamilton had managed win a record eighth F1 championship title.

Kiwi married mother-of-two Angela Cullen, 47, lived the highs and lows of the Mercedes driver’s motor racing career in the past five years as his performance coach, inseparable trackside companion, and close confidante.

The pair even have matching ‘Loyalty’ tattoos on their wrists.

The championship battle between Hamilton, 36, and Max Verstappen came down to the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi, where the Brit hoped to stand alone as the most successful Formula 1 driver in history.

The two drivers were tied on points coming into the last race for a season ending for the ages, with whoever finished in front taking the crown.

But it was not to be for Hamilton. In a dramatic race, Verstappen overtook him on the final lap to win the race and take a seven-point lead in the championship.

Hamilton hailed Cullen as a ‘very special human being’ in October as he made a huge comeback with three wins in a row to keep his season alive.

‘Angela and I are naturally incredibly close,’ Hamilton said. ‘We pretty much live together.’

He previously described Cullen as ‘one of the greatest things that’s happened’ to him and called the Kiwi woman one of the hardest working people in the world.

‘People for sure won’t understand it, naturally, because they see it from a distance, but she has been one of the greatest things that’s happened to me in my life,’ Hamilton said in more praise last year.

‘I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of people… and she’s the single hardest-working woman that I get to be around.

‘She’s focused, selfless, and she makes my weekends peaceful. Every day I wake up, whatever time it is, she’s just positive – never a single day has she been negative, so that’s very, very important.’

Lewis Hmilton (right) recently hailed performance coach Angela Cullen as ‘very special human being’.

Cullen was born and raised in Auckland, where she represented New Zealand in hockey between the ages of 15 and 21.

After graduating with a health science degree majoring in physiotherapy, Cullen moved to the UK and worked with track athletes sprinters, cyclists, and triathletes on the British Olympic team and at the English Institute of Sport.

It was then colleague Pete McKnight who suggested the idea of working with Hamilton.

‘At the time, Angela was mainly working with corporate clients, but when the opportunity to work with Lewis came up we thought, ‘Why not give this a go?” McKnight told Telegraph Sport.

‘It has worked out perfectly.

‘There’s also just something quirky about it: a woman in her forties, with a family at home, two young kids, and then there’s this mid-thirties racing driver. It might seem a really weird match, but it just works.’

Cullen lives in Switzerland with her cycling coach husband and children as she continues to work for one of the best F1 drivers in the world.

Cullen regularly shares a glimpse of her life travelling around the world with Hamilton on the F1 circuit on her Instagram.

‘I am so blessed in my job for many things but one of the most significant in terms of well-being is being on the move the entire day,’ she recently posted.

‘On any given race weekend day I can do up to 18,000 steps, this is such a blessing… and I don’t sit down at all.

This is a choice… staying upright, moving keeps my body fit and mobile, in a world where computers and devices are making us more sedentary, to be able to move constantly throughout the day is such a blessing.’

Cullen described her job as ‘amazing’, relishing the challenge of assisting her driver to be the best he could be every race weekend.

‘I see my role as removing the noise of the race weekend to ensure things run as smoothly as possible, managing schedules, and timings of travel, nutrition, focusing on energy management to ensure the driver arrives on Sunday with the best possible perpetration to give the optimal performance,’ she said.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is underway with Verstappen starting in pole position.

Max Verstappen has been warned that his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, is ready to move on to another F1 driver.

Max Verstappen’s girlfriend Kelly Piquet was made fun of after qualifying on Saturday at the Singapore Grand Prix, following a hugely embarrassing moment for Red Bull.

The Milton Keynes-based side endured a weekend to forget at the Marina Bay Circuit, with qualifying having been the lowest of lows for them.

For the first time since the 2018 Russian Grand Prix, the Austrians didn’t have a single car progress into Q3, with Verstappen having qualified 11th with Sergio Perez in 13th.

Incredibly, it was AlphaTauri’s stand-in Liam Lawson who dumped Verstappen out of qualifying, with the Kiwi having finished P10 in Q2.

Fans quickly joked on social media that Piquet will be interested in the young driver, given that she left Daniil Kvyat at a similar time to Verstappen replacing the Russian at Red Bull.

One fan posted the meme of American TV host Anthony Adams rubbing his hands together.

“Kelly Piquet seeing Lawson out-qualify Verstappen,” @ScrewderiaF1 captioned the meme.

It was normal service for Verstappen on Sunday at least where he finished as the top Red Bull driver, after getting past Lawson very quickly.

The reigning World Champion recovered to finish fifth, whilst Perez could only recover to eighth.

Behind Perez was Lawson in ninth, who scored points in just his third F1 race.

The Red Bull reserve driver was sensational throughout the weekend and is now likely to give the Austrians a huge headache for 2024.

Having settled into F1 so quickly since replacing the injured Daniel Ricciardo, Lawson must be given a seat at AlphaTauri next season.

READ: Sebastian Vettel comes back to Formula 1

Lawson is clearly a real star of the future who could potentially be a real candidate to replace Perez at the end of 2024, although it’ll mean that either Ricciardo or Yuki Tsunoda won’t be given a spot on the grid next season.

There has been rumours that Tsunoda could become Red Bull’s reserve driver in 2024, making way for AlphaTauri to have a driver line-up of Ricciardo and Lawson.

As things stand, this looks like the Faenza-based team’s strongest possible line-up for 2024, although time will tell if comes to fruition.

Secret plot to ‘bring down’ Meghan Markle: royal biographer claims

A royal biographer has made a string of wild claims about the Duchess of Sussex, including that ‘men in grey’ at Buckingham Palace are plotting to bring her down.

“Men in grey” at Buckingham Palace are plotting to bring down Meghan Markle, a royal biographer has claimed.

Anna Pasternak, author of a biography of Princess Diana, has made the wild claim the Duchess of Sussex, 37, is seen as a “threat to the throne” by Palace insiders.

Pasternak, who has a book coming out on Wallis Simpson, thinks Meghan has “rejuvenated the spirit” of the American divorcee who had a relationship with Edward VIII, The Sun reports.

The then king’s relationship with Simpson led to him abdicating the throne and the couple married in 1937.

Pasternak, told the Sunday Express’ S magazine: “Meghan is like a grenade that’s been thrown into this archaic system and there are explosions already going on which I think will continue”.

“In a sense Meghan has rejuvenated the spirit of Wallis and I hope people take the view of her as a kind, witty, loyal and dignified person who unfairly became the most vilified woman in the world.”

These so-called “men in grey”, who have never been named, were previously mentioned by Diana during her marriage to Prince Charles.

Pasternak added: “I fear if Meghan and Harry’s star rises too high that will be perceived as the courtiers Princess Diana called men in grey as a threat to the heir.

“She [Meghan] cannot set the agenda, she has to toe the line, and support the monarch and heir. I don’t think she realises that.”

The comments come as it was revealed Meghan and Prince Harry made a secret visit to see her mum, Doria Ragland, at her Los Angeles home.

While it is not clear when the trip was made, a neighbour told The Sun: “Meghan will always come back to Doria, this will always be her home”.

“They are forever in touch, and Meghan has been here to stay on more than one occasion since going public with Harry.

“I even saw him here once, but it’s not my place to say any more.”
