Yay! It’s Spain’s number one F1 WAG!

If you thought Fernando Alonso’s relationship with ex-teammate Lewis Hamilton was tumultuous, then spare a thought for his girlfriend Raquel del Rosario. The pair met at a Spanish radio station a few years back, and were rumoured to have cemented their love with marriage in 2006.

At present, however, the stroppy Renault man and his bossy lady are firmly an item, living in low tax bliss in Geneva.

Heikki Kovalainen, who was also taking part in the press conference, used the opportunity to take a pop at Alonso, who earlier in the week had slagged off McLaren, saying if he was still at the team he wouldn’t be allowed to win - much like Kovi.
