      Steiner’s other career moves have included stints as managing director at Jaguar Racing and as technical operations director at Red Bull Racing.
      He left the latter in April 2008.
      However, while at Red Bull, he was contacted to build the Haas team from scratch – a move which has helped him build up an impressive fortune.
      On April 14, 2014, he was officially announced team principal of the Haas F1 Team.

      “In the beginning I didn’t want to watch because I don’t really enjoy watching myself.
      “I also didn’t want to get influenced to change when I am doing something. If you are an actor, you learn from your mistakes.
      “I don’t want to be an actor because maybe every time I see a camera, it may have an effect on how I behave.
      “It sounds very complex but for me it was a very simplistic thought process and now if I start to watch it, it was OK in the beginning, so why go back and change now?”
      Is Guenther Steiner married and does he have children?
      As well as achieving sporting success, Steiner has also been lucky in love.
      The Haas team principal is married to wife Gertraud.

      Who is Melissa Jiménez?
      Melissa María Jiménez Dionisio was born in Lieja, Belgium on June 26, 1987.
      She used to be married to ex-Barca, now Real Betis defender Marc Bartra and has three kids with him.
      The couple announced they had been separated for some time in January 2022.
      Rumours of her dating Fernando Alonso surfaced earlier this year, but both have kept quiet about it and there has been no confirmation so far.
      READ MORE ON FERNANDO ALONSO
      What does Melissa Jiménez do for a living?
      Jimenez is a sports journalist who currently works for DAZN.
      Melissa is a MotoGP nut who covers motorsport specifically and could have found romance with Alonso in the paddock.
      She began her career at the television channel 25TV and has also worked for Sky’s Italian division on the programme Skysprt24h.
      When were Fernando Alonso and Melissa Jiménez first rumoured to be dating?
      In May 2023 Alonso was pictured with a fan and eagle-eyed social media users think sportscaster Melissa is in the background, fuelling rumours of the pair becoming a couple.
      Most read in Motorsport
      The Spaniard shared the news of splitting up with long-term girlfriend Andrea Schlager on Instagram just hours after his podium finish at the Australian Grand Prix on April 2.
      Like Jiménez, Schlager is a sports commentator known for her work in Formula One and MotoGP — she met Fernando through her F1 commitments.
      In a statement he wrote: “We wanted to tell you that our relationship as a couple ended. 
      “We have been lucky enough to share a fantastic time together, and it will continue to be so, but on a different form of affection.
      “As you have probably seen, we have continued working on and off track on various projects together also during this time, and we will keep doing so with deep love and respect for each other.
      “We thought it is appropriate to share this as you have all been very supportive. Thanks for that. Love Fer & Andrea.”
      What other stars has Fernando Alonso been linked to in the past?
      Alonso and singer Raquel Del Rosario — who was lead singer for Spanish rock band El Sueno de Morfeo — met in 2005 after she performed at a concert to mark his first F1 title.
      The couple married secretly in 2006 but only confirmed it publicly two years later, and lived together in Oxford and Switzerland.
      In 2011 they confirmed their break-up in a joint statement: “This has been a very thought about and mutual decision.
      “We are separating from marriage, but never as friends, and there is still a very strong affection and mutual admiration to ensure the happiness of the other.”
      After his split from Raquel, Alonso quickly moved on with former Miss Switzerland runner-up Xenia Tchoumitcheva.
      The talented Russian model, who has a degree in economics, has had an even more colourful career than her ex.
      After bagging an internship at JP Morgan, she was offered roles at Merrill Lynch and Duet Group, but decided to swap the stock market for the pop charts — releasing a rap single.
      In 2012 Alonso found love with another Russian model — Dasha Kapustina.
      The besotted pair were frequently seen together around the paddock, but after two years together their romance quietly fizzled out.
      Alonso quickly fell head over heels after meeting journalist Lara Alvarez in December 2014, but by 2016 the 16-month relationship had come to an end.
      Alonso’s next flame, Viki Odintcova, has no shortage of admirers in the sports world — even claiming she ignored Instagram DMs from Cristiano Ronaldo.
      After being snapped supporting him at races in 2016, Fernando and Italian lingerie model Linda Morselli confirmed their relationship with an Instagram post the following year.
      After half a decade together, the couple went their separate ways last year.
      Alonso’s next relationship was with Andrea Schlager, who he announced his separation from in April 2023.

      In May Spanish magazines began linking Alonso to pop star Taylor Swift, who was then newly-single.
      The two-time world champion fuelled the flames when he posted a video of himself winking as he listened to her hit song Karma. More

      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.
      READ MORE ON DANIEL RICCIARDO
      ‘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.
      Most read in Motorsport
      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.
      Read More on The Sun
      “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

      His first proper year at club level karting came in 2008 and in 2009 he claimed pole position at his first national event — to date he is still the youngest driver to ever get pole at a national meeting.
      For the 2010 season, Lando entered the two main national championships in cadet class racing against drivers up to three years older than him, where he finished third overall in the Super One Series, as well as winning the coveted ‘O’ Plate during the season.

      Who is Charles Leclerc?
      Charles Marc Hervé Perceval Leclerc was born on October 16, 1997 in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
      His nickname in Italy is ‘il Predestinato’, which translates to ‘The Predestined’, and was given to him by F1 commentator Carlo Vanzini.
      He competed from an early age in karting, becoming French Champion in 2009, winning the Monaco Kart Cup in 2010, the CIK-FIA Academy Trophy and the Junior World Cup in 2011.

      He was spotted by Nicolas Todt in 2010 and joined the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2016.
      Charles entered Formula one in 2018 with Alfa Romeo Sauber F1, before moving to Ferrari in 2019, where his teammate was four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel.
      Following seven pole positions, 10 podiums and two victories, Leclerc finished fourth in the 2019 World Championship and extended his contract with Ferrari until 2024.

      The 2020 season was below the Monegasque driver’s expectation as finished on the podium on just twice, finishing 8th in the drivers’ classification.
      In 2021, Charles secured two more pole positions and a podium.
      In 2022 he had an excellent season, finishing as runner-up behind Max Verstappen in the drivers’ standings.
      Aside from racing, Leclerc has recently hit the headlines after embarking on a career in the music business.
      He released his debut single titled AUS23 (1:1) in April.
      The four-minute classical song features Leclerc, 25, playing the piano.
      And the Monegasque driver has enjoyed a fast start after venturing into the world of music.
      According to ESPN, Leclerc spent time inside the Top 10 of the Worldwide iTunes song chart following the release of his song.
      The title of the track, AUS23 (1:1) is a tribute to the Australian Grand Prix, where the song was born.
      Leclerc did not start playing the piano until the Covid-19 pandemic, but has “fallen in love with the instrument” after spending time playing it.
      The Ferrari star said on his Spotify page: “I’m excited to share with you a piano song that I’ve been working on, born out of my passion for music and created as a way to disconnect from racing and relax in between races.
      “I’ve created this song around the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix which is why I called it AUS23 (1:1). This is the way we call the Australian Grand Prix in my Formula One team and thought it would be a nice connection to the racing world.
      “After posting a story on Instagram of me playing that piano piece I had composed, I had a lot of positive feedback from the fans that inspired me to record it, making it easier for fans to enjoy my music.
      “My love for music has always been there, but it wasn’t until the pandemic that I started playing the piano.
      “With more time at home, I decided to buy a piano and learn to play. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with the instrument and find myself playing it whenever I’m at home.”
      Charles has also hilariously put himself forward to represent Monaco at next year’s Eurovison.
      The country withdrew from the 2007 edition due to poor results and three failures to qualify.
      But on hearing the news Monaco could be back for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest due to the launch of TV Monaco and its membership with the European Broadcasting Union, Leclerc took to social media to offer his services.
      On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “I’m ready 🎤.”
      What is Charles Leclerc’s net worth?

      In 2021 Fernando returned to Formula One following a two-year hiatus driving for the Alpine — the rebranded French team formerly known as Renault where he won his two world championships.
      “Coming back into the sport,” Alonso observed, “is never a guarantee that you will be okay and competitive and still enjoy everything in F1.”
      He then moved to Aston Martin for the 2023 F1 season, were he replaced Sebastian Vettel, and currently remains in contract with the team until 2024.
      On the subject of joining Aston Martin the Spaniard said: “No one in Formula One today is demonstrating a greater vision and absolute commitment to winning, and that makes it a really exciting opportunity for me.”
      “I still have the hunger and ambition to fight to be at the front, and I want to be part of an organisation that is committed to learn, develop and succeed.
      “We all appreciate that there is much to be done to get to the front, and that we must apply all our energies in working together to find performance.
      “The passion and desire to perform that I have witnessed convince me to maintain my enjoyment and commitment to the sport.
      “I intend to win again in this sport and therefore I have to take the opportunities that feel right to me.”
      As well as the 2005 and 2006 F1 world championship, Alonso won 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2018 on his debut in the Toyota team, alongside Kazuki Nakajima and Sebastien Buemi, and then won it again in 2019 with the same team and co-drivers.
      The Spaniard now only requires the Indy 500 to complete motorsport’s Triple Crown, which has only previously been won by Graham Hill.
      Alonso attempted to win the race at Indianapolis in 2017 but crashed out late on despite an impressive drive, and then again in 2019.
      Alonso remains a huge hit with fans throughout his career due to his aggressive and exciting racing style.
