At the Grand Prix in Monaco there were once again all sorts of prominent spectators. Among them is a winter sports legend with his pregnant girlfriend.
Monaco - When a Formula 1 race takes place in the Principality of Monaco, the crème de la crème of celebrity spectators gathers. The Mecca of the rich and beautiful is all about seeing and being seen. Whether this is also the case with winter sports legend Aksel Lund Svindal can be questioned. The former ski star and Olympic champion has been a big motorsport fan for a long time and likes to sit behind the wheel of fast cars himself. He was probably more in Monaco out of devotion.
Sports dream couple in Monaco: Aksel Lund Svindal and his pregnant corpse athlete Amalie
Together with his pregnant girlfriend, track and field athlete Amalie Iuel, he visited the Porsche Cup and the Formula 1 Grand Prix over the weekend. The couple, who announced their pregnancy with a boy on April 12, saw Dutchman Max Verstappen's victory ahead of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon. Verstappen, who continues to lead the drivers' standings, caused a big grin at Red Bull and even a reserve driver beamed from ear to ear.
Ricciardo meets Svindal and Iuel: The winter sports star can't resist commenting on the photo
Because Daniel Ricciardo met Svindal and Iuel. The pregnant woman had herself photographed with the speed specialist, everything on Instagram indicates that the other speed specialist - Svindal - took the photo. But it wasn't posted on Instagram without comment. The Norwegian wrote somewhat ambiguously: "You look a little too happy". An allusion to the fact that the girlfriend is grinning from ear to ear with Ricciardo at her side. She responded to Svindal's phrase with three laughing emojis.

Harmonious get-togethers with the sports dream couple, who also had to go through hard times before announcing their pregnancy. Svindal suffered from testicular cancer and had to go under the knife. He shared his fate with a hospital photo to his followers. The athlete was open about the disease. And he doesn't need to have any reason to be jealous of Ricciardo. The Formula 1 driver has recently started dating Gerhard Berger's daughter. (ank)
