Not every McLaren driver needs to date a Pussycat Doll

If Heikki Kovalainen were on the market, he would have to work at a furious rate to keep up with his philandering McLaren teammate in the lady stakes. Fortunately for him, this isn’t an issue, as Kovi is happy with his English ladyfriend Catherine Hyde, and according to the fountain of all half truths Wikipedia, they plan to marry on October 10, 2010. Seeing as that date is a Sunday during the F1 season, it looks a little unlikely, yet the couple are engaged and are certainly planning to tie the know in the near future.

Meet Heikki’s other half

Kovi has been going out with English girl Catherine Hyde for a couple of years now. The pair are apparently engaged but don’t plan to marry until 2010.

Hyde is a student in sports psychology - maybe Ron Dennis should hire her to get inside the mind of Fernando Alonso…
