Hadid's sister, Gigi - also a supermodel - has been linked to Lewis Hamilton and the pair featured in a pre-season promotional video.

Bella and Brady were guests of the Red Bull team and posed for photos in the garage pre-race.

The grid was also notable for the return of models, male and female, bearing messages for the drivers. Just don't call them grid girls!
