That’s some serious helmet hair

Swiss F3 star Natacha Gachnang is the first female driver to sign up for the new FIA Formula Two Championship. Don’t be surprised if one day she makes it all the way to F1. The 21 year-old certainly has the genes to succeed in motorsport: she is the cousin of Red Bull test driver Sebastien Buemi, who looks set to win a 2009 race seat for Toro Rosso.

The new F2 category will use a new car based on a chassis built by Williams and an engine built by Audi.

Lewis Hamilton’s WAG pouts for German mag

Nicole Scherzinger stars in the January issue of Maxim Germany, and Gridcrasher has tracked down the best photos from her cover shoot. Because we care about you in that way.

She’s cute and she’s a better driver than you

Carmen Jorda is 20 years old and cuter than a basketful of kittens. She drives in Spanish F3 for the Campos Racing team, which means she’s also more talented than a basketful of kittens. Last season, she finished fourth in the Spanish F3 Cup.

Nascar star’s former squeeze likes to get nekkid

This is Amanda Beard (not to be confused with Amanda Huginkiss). She’s a very successful Olympic swimmer, winning seven medals from 1996-2008.

But what’s she doing on Gridcrasher, you ask? Well, she used to get jiggy with Nascar star Carl Edwards, which is more than enough to qualify her as a Grid WAG. That and the fact she has taken her clothes off for Playboy.

Want a wife like this? Try driving a racing car

Niki Taylor is an American supermodel (at what point does a model become “super”, by the way?) who has appeared on over 400 magazine covers worldwide. After her first marriage lasted less than a year, she fulfilled her destiny as a Grid WAG, tying the knot with awesomely-named NASCAR driver Burney Lamar after just three dates.

Yet another one of Flavio’s model girlfriends

Despite sporting a sizable paunch and hair like the mad professor on the Weetos box, Flavio Briatore has been out with some unspeakably attractive women. We know all about his conquests with Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell and (current wife) Elisabetta Gregoraci, but he has also pestered Italian model and showgirl Adriana Volpe…
