Tom Brady’s jaw-dropping megafan ‘distracts F1 mechanics’ at Las Vegas GP

Veronika Rajek, who has been called Tom Brady’s biggest fan, set tongues wagging in Sin City – but she might have distracted one team of mechanics too much

Veronika Rajek brought the “va va vroom” to the F1 grid on Sunday afternoon as she “distracted mechanics” with her jaw-dropping figure.

Veronika, who has been called NFL icon Tom Brady’s biggest fan in the past, was in Las Vegas as F1 took to Sin City for its latest leg. The blonde bombshell left little to the imagination as she squeezed into a pink bikini top.

The stunner finished off the outfit with a tiny purple skirt – sharing snaps from outside of the Ferrari garage. “How beautiful your eyes are,” one fan gushed.

“Natural beauty, very nice smile,” a second said. While a third replied: “The most beautiful woman in the world!”

And another added: “I absolutely love your outfit! The colour is divine and perfectly matches you!”

But McLaren’s mechanics might have been spending too much time looking at Veronika, as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified from the event.

Both McLaren cars failed post-race technical inspections following the night race in Sin City, leading to Norris and Piastri being called before the stewards.

FIA scrutineers discovered that the thickness of the planks beneath the McLaren cars was less than 9mm, which is the required minimum by the end of a race.

This indicated that the cars were operating with an illegally low ride height, resulting in both cars being disqualified from the final standings.

Both McLaren drivers were called to the stewards for a hearing that started at 7.45am UK time.

The hearing lasted over an hour and the decision was finally confirmed around 2am local time, more than four hours after the Grand Prix ended.

With Norris and Piastri’s results annulled, and after Max Verstappen’s victory, the Dutchman is now level on points with Piastri and 24 behind championship leader Norris, with two rounds left.
