    Who is Daniel Ricciardo’s girlfriend Heidi Berger?
    Charlotte Heidi Corvo Berger is the daughter of former Formula One driver Gerhard Berger and his Portugese model ex-wife Ana Corvo.
    She has one sibling — elder sister Sara Maria Berger, who’s 28 years old.
    Berger is dating racing ace Daniel Riccardo, whose nickname is The Honey Badger.
    Explaining the reason for his nickname to Red Bull in 2014, Daniel said: “It’s supposed to be the most fearless animal in the animal kingdom.

    ‘When you look at it, he seems quite cute and cuddly, but as soon as someone crosses his territory in a way he doesn’t like, he turns into a bit of a savage and he’ll go after anything — tigers, pythons.
    “He turns very quickly. But he’s a good guy.”
    Heidi is an actress and her first official role was in the Portuguese soap opera A Única Mulher as the character of Nônô, which she starred in during 2016 and 2017.
    After the show concluded, Berger put in a string of guest appearances on Trakehnerblut, Meiberger: Chasing Minds and Três Mulheres.

    Between the years of 2018 and 2020, Berger starred in mystery thriller Onde Está Elisa? as Elisa Menezes.
    She has since moved to New York to pursue an international acting career.
    When Ricciardo was asked if he was in love on the Fitzy & Wippa Podcast in 2022, he replied: “Yeah mate, I’m in love, I got a good thing going, so yeah. I’ve got a good balance in life right now.”
    “I think love eliminates stress, yeah absolutely.”
    The Australian was interviewed by podcaster Dax Shepard on The Armchair Expert podcast.
    Shepard was keen to find out whether it was still common practice for athletes to refrain from sex before events, to which Ricciardo answered: “I used to, but not any more.
    “I went against my rules obviously once and I was probably even better on Sunday so it’s all good. I threw that one out a few years ago.”
    The two regularly share their glamorous lifestyle on their Instagrams, which includes holidaying in some very exotic locations.
    What age is Heidi Berger?
    Heidi was born on April 4, 1997.
    She is currently 26 years old.
    Her boyfriend Daniel is 34.
    How did Daniel Ricciardo and Heidi Berger meet?
    Ricciardo has dated Berger since 2019.
    But the couple first went public with their relationship in the summer of 2022.
    As Heidi’s father is a former F1 legend and she grew up near a race track, it can be assumed they met through moving in the same circles — but we can’t be sure exactly how or when that happened.
    Who is Heidi Berger’s father Gerhard Berger?
    Gerhard Berger, 64, formerly raced for Ferrari and won ten Grands Prix over ten seasons.
    The Austrian also raced for various other teams during his career, including ATS, Arrows, Benetton and McLaren before he retired in 1997.
    Ricciardo has admitted his girlfriend’s dad was an idol, saying: “When I was young, I mean I’ve followed F1 since I was a kid and I had a Berger hat.
    “It’s funny, I talk about it with him. He still goes to quite a few races he still has an interest in the sport and he still does some business with it.

    “Any ex-sportsman, anyone who’s been through it — I just love speaking to them and gaining knowledge and insight through their experience there’s so much wisdom.”
    Berger cheered on Ricciardo’s return to the track at the Hungaroring In JULY — with the Australian finishing in 13th on his AlphaTauri debut. More

    Who is Oscar Piastri’s girlfriend Lily Zneimer?

    OSCAR Piastri is one of the hottest up-and-coming stars in the world of motorsport.Off the track he’s been dating Lily Zneimer — here we take a look her life and relationship with the McLaren rookie.
    Lily and Oscar attended Wimbledon together in JulyCredit: instagram/@oscarpiastri/
    Who is Oscar Piastri’s girlfriend Lily Zneimer?
    There isn’t much in the way of verifiable information about Lily available, as she prefers to keep her private life out of the public domain.
    Different outlets put her age at either 21 or 22, but there is no date of birth reported.
    An F1 photographer stated that she is — or was — an engineering student.
    Kym Illman said: “Oscar has been going out with Lily Zneimer for some years now.
    READ MORE ON F1
    “Oscar introduced me to the British student in the paddock at the 2022 Australian GP when he was the Alpine reserve driver.”
    “She’s British, polite, quiet, classy and by the time you watch this, has probably graduated with a degree in engineering.”
    Zneimer and Piastri made their first public appearance together at the 2022 Autosprt Awards, where the Oscar won the Autosport Rookie of the Year Award for the second year running.
    He posted a photograph of himself and Lily at the ceremony on Instagram and thanked those who voted for him, but didn’t acknowledge her or tag her in the post.
    Most read in Motorsport
    She also made an appearance at Oscar’s first F1 drive — when he was the back-up driver for Alpine last year — and after the race was the first to hug Piastri alongside his mentor and manager Mark Webber.
    After the race he said: “Having my girlfriend Lily here for the first time and attending my maiden Grand Prix in Melbourne with my pals makes me very pleased.”
    What does Lily Zneimer do for a living?
    Although Lily has studied engineering, it seems she wants to get into the same business as her boyfriend in some capacity.
    Kym Illman said: “She wants a job in F1 and with her contacts, I’d say she has a strong chance of that.
    He added: “They are a delightful couple.”
    Is Lily Zneimer on social media?
    Yes, Lily is on social media — but if you want to see her content, you may be in for a disappointment.
    Although Lily is active on Instagram, her account is private.
    It only has 48 posts to date.
    How long have Oscar Piastri and Lily Zeimer been dating?
    The Australian speedster likes to keep much of his private life out of the spotlight, but numerous pictures of him with Zneimer have appeared online.
    The first photo of the couple was taken on a rainy day, with Piastri holding an umbrella.
    But the racer was only holding the umbrella over his own head, making observers chuckle and creating an internet meme.
    One person commented: “Bruh really didn’t share that umbrella and meant it.”
    The Formula One ace mentioned the duration of his relationship with Lily in an interview.
    Read More on The Sun
    Speaking to 9News while attending Wimbledon in July, he said: “We have been together for – I better get this right – about four and a half years now.”
    He added: “We keep it private.” More

    “They are both strong, independent women with a shared passion and respect of their respective careers, supporting one another from the sidelines.”

    Defreitas was originally touted to be on the series as he told the BBC in 2021: “Yeah I tried going on the show once – it didn’t work out.”
    And his dad Marcus brutally added: “Gogglebox is not for everyone.
    “Not everyone can ‘Goggle’. He’s too aggressive. Me and him just argued so I told him to sling his hook.

    “The producers were trying to help him out but then he’d go off on one again. No Gogglebox for him, he’s a fighter.”
    Defreitas won his opening two pro bouts by stoppage in 2021 but has fought just twice over the last two years, winning both on points.
    He turned over as a successful amateur having represented England and the famous Repton Boxing Club.

    “Even the ring announcer wanted a photo with him – it’s madness.”
    But Marcus, who trained in kickboxing and martial arts himself, said: “I’m known for Gogglebox but now people will see that I’m not just about sitting on the sofa. I’m about boxing and have been for years.”
    The father and coach also trains his youngest Yash, a currently unbeaten amateur prospect.
