F1 drivers are known for living life in the fast lane. This is also true for some off the track. When it comes to love, many of them have celebrated their special day in breathtaking locations around the world. So let’s discover a few F1 stars who got married in dream destinations.
5 F1 drivers who got married in beautiful locations
Nico Hulkenberg – Mallorca
Nico Hulkenberg has been married to Egle Ruskyte since 2022. The couple got married in the beautiful Spanish Island of Mallorca. The wedding took place in the parish church of Sant Pere in Sencelles, according to the Majorca Daily Bulletin.
Mallorca has been a tourist destination for decades. The Island is famous for its golden beaches and dramatic mountain landscapes. The destination is also a favorite of the Hulkenberg family for vacations. This can be observed via the couple’s social media profiles.
Fernando Alonso – The Maldives
Alonso got married to Spanish singer Raquel del Rosario in 2007. The couple’s wedding took place in Limanes, Spain. But many reports suggest that the pair had already conduced a small and private ceremony on an Island in the Maldives in November 2007.
The destination in the Indian Ocean is a favorite of many celebrities today. But the archipelago country was not as popular two decades ago. While it was still a tourist destination, Alonso had a wedding in a rather rare location for 2007.
Alonso and del Rosario later separated in 2011, before getting divorced in 2013.
Nico Rosberg – South of France
Rosberg tied the knot with long-term girlfriend Vivian Sibold in a registry office in Monaco during the 2014 F1 season was in full-swing. But the couple later had a proper wedding ceremony in a church in the South of France. This ceremony was still a very private affair, with not much information being made public.
Michael Schumacher – Kerpen, Germany
The 7x F1 world champion got married to Corinna Betsch in August 1995. The ceremony was held in the small and beautiful German village, Kerpen. Schumacher was born in this village near Cologne.
20 years later, the couple are still married. Corinna has remained by Michael’s side since his serious skiing accident in 2013, which left him with a traumatic brain injury. His family continues to maintain privacy around his condition.
Jacques Villeneuve – Wedding in an F1 paddock!
Villeneuve got married in one of the strangest possible locations. But it was nonetheless appropriate for an F1 world champion. The Canadian actually got married to his partner Giulia in the Las Vegas GP paddock in 2023.
The paddock in Vegas actually includes a wedding chapel. The city isn’t known as the wedding capital of the world for nothing. While unconventional, this would be the dream wedding ceremony of many hardcore F1 fans.
