After divorce, McLaren boss is back in the game. Meet his WAG…

The name’s Bond… Annabelle Bond

This is the real-life Lara Croft who is rumoured to have stolen the icy heart of Big Ron Dennis. She’s bona fide posh totty - her father is banker Sir John Bond, who happens to be chairman of Vodafone, McLaren’s chief sponsor.

Bernie’s missus wants out

It’s official. Bernie Ecclestone’s wife, Slavica, has filed for divorce. With Wee Bernie’s fortune estimated to be more than £2bn - much of which is rumoured to be in her name - there’s a good chance that the ex-model will become the wealthiest divorcee of all time. She’ll get more than enough to keep her in fur coats, anyway.

According to a family law expert, Bernie stands to lose up to half of his carefully accumulated cash. Ouch. Should have signed a pre-nup, Bernard.

Perhaps this news explains Bernie’s mood. Speaking about the lack of a formal agreement between his own company and F1 teams, he said: “For two years I’ve had a Concorde Agreement available for them to sign, but the problem is they have so many smart-arses in the teams - doctors, lawyers, masseurs…”

Bernie could use a few smart-arse lawyers right now.

What would Dr Freud say?

In MotoGP riders often spray the poor, innocent, under-dresssed podium girls with champagne (rather than spaffing bubby over each other, as is the custom in F1). What can it mean?

Sporno

Lewis’ girlfriend makes “not sexy” admission. Hmmm

“I don’t think of myself as sexy. I’m the biggest nerd there is. I was laughed at by my classmates in school because I looked so exotic.”

So says ugly duckling Nicole Scherzinger. Don’t you love it when gorgeous female celebs pull the old “No, really, I was awkward and clumsy at school” line. She’s not fooling anyone.

Canada’s Red Bull girl not allowed into Brazil

Red Bull’s paddock girls, or Formula Unas to give them their proper name, show up at every grand prix and do a very good job of making the pit lane a prettier place.

At Brazil, the “winning” Formula Una from each grand prix (translation: the hottest local girl at each race) is invited by Red Bull to attend an end-of-season party. All of the Unas made it to Interlagos… except one.

Montreal’s Formula Una - better known as 19-year-old Katrina Lesko - required a visa to be allowed into Brazil. So Red Bull informed her that she should get her paperwork sorted. She duly obliged.

But when Lesko transferred from Montreal to Washington on Wednesday, and was asked to present her visa for Brazil, the immigration officer refused to let her get on the plane to Sao Paulo. Why? It might have something to do with the fact that Lesko pulled out a brand-new Visa credit card.

She never made it to Brazil. True story.

High winds + short skirts = public embarrassment
