For a long time, model Jessica Michibata and singer Nicole Scherzinger held pole positions in the world of Formula One racing beauty stakes. But these WAGs of speed maniacs now have competition with Hanna Prater, Sebastian Vettel’s girlfriend, joining the bandwagon.

From pop stars to models to childhood sweethearts, Rediff.com brings you the top 10 WAGs on the F1 circuit.

Take a look…

Nicole Scherzinger (Lewis Hamilton)

Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly agreed to marry British F1 star Lewis Hamilton.

The former Pussycat Dolls lead singer had earlier declined the Mercedes driver's marriage proposal, but she said yes to him when he popped the question to her a fourth time, the Daily Star reported.

Sources revealed that the 29-year-old racer tried his best to keep the news under wraps despite being absolutely delighted.

They added that the couple, who started dating after meeting at the MTV Awards in 2007, plans is to live in Switzerland and travel together when Hamilton is racing, which obviously means that Scherzinger’s career will take a back seat.
