Formula 1 has seen its fair share of scandals and love triangles in the last few years, but tongues are wagging in high gear lately over the supposed love triangle between Argentine driver Franco Colapinto, Ferrari’s junior driver Oliver Bearman, and the absolutely gorgeous law student and model, Estelle Ogilvy.

The 25-year-old used to be in a relationship with Colapinto before dating Bearman, but this summer, she split with the young Briton and is reportedly now back with Colapinto and completing the hottest triangle in F1.

It’s much spicier than the Horner saga, which, let’s be honest, gives Golden Girls vibes compared to these pretty young people.

But who is the lady keeping the future F1 heroes’ minds off the track?

Born Estelle Langinier in Paris to a French father and a British mother who works as a lawyer, Ogilvy attended school in the south of France before coming to the UK and living in Surrey with her mother and 23-year-old brother Mattieu, before relocating to St Albans.

Travelling to London to follow in her mother’s footsteps and pursue a legal education, she took on her mother’s maiden name, Manning, after attending the £16,000-per-year mixed boarding school St George’s. Ogilvy is a very new addition and appears to be an adopted name.

She has always been ‘rich-famous’, it wasn’t until her relationship with Bearman that her popularity soared.

When Bearman was pushed into the spotlight in March following his seventh-place performance at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Ogilvy was there to support him. It wasn’t long before the press referred to them as Britain’s “glitziest young couple”.

“Lettie” as she’s known to her friends, now has over 139k followers on TikTok, using the handle @silly_lettuce. She posts clips of her at the gym or sucking lollipops at her laptop as she studies for her law degree.

After she and Bearman reportedly called it quits in July, Ogilvy started following her ex, Franco Colapinto on social media again, and although the two are yet to step out in public together, insiders claim they’re back on.

Journalist and F1 expert Jessamy Calkin says that it’s not surprising that Ogilvy has dated two up-and-coming drivers. “Formula 1 is a very small world,” she says.

“There’s an unwritten rule that if you’re an F1 driver you have to live in Monaco, play golf and have an influencer girlfriend. They all go to the same parties and events. The social circle is tiny, but that means that this love triangle could get awkward for them, or might lead to even more competitiveness on the track between Bearman and Colapinto.”

Formula 1 drivers have traditionally attracted attractive ladies due to their enormous wealth, element of danger, and unquestionable allure.

James Hunt, a British champion in the 1970s, claimed having slept with 5,000 women and had the phrase “Sex, breakfast of champions” stitched into his racing dungarees.

“One eye on the track, another on the gauges and still… spot a pretty girl in the crowd.”
