On the eve of the upcoming Formula One season, Kimi Antonelli’s girlfriend, Eliska Bábíčková, publicly confirmed that they have ended their relationship. This announcement arrives amid swirling speculation, adding to the news that fellow driver Lando Norris and his girlfriend Magui Corceiro have also parted ways. Both breakups mark a significant shift in the personal lives of two prominent figures in motorsport just as the highly anticipated season gets underway.
Eliska Bábíčková Details the End of Her Relationship with Kimi Antonelli
Eliska Bábíčková, a social media influencer and former karting driver from the Czech Republic, took to Instagram to clarify the status of her relationship with Italian F1 driver Kimi Antonelli. She revealed that she was the one who ended the relationship after realizing their personal goals and values no longer matched.
“This is quite recent because all throughout February, me and Kimi were trying to figure stuff out,”
she explained.
“We were just not really sure at what point the relationship was ourselves.”
Bábíčková emphasized that the breakup was not due to external factors such as infidelity or involvement with other people.
“No other men, no other women were involved. There was no cheating. And I think it is super wrong for anyone to assume that because it is very misrepresentative of who me and Kimi are as people,”
she said. She further addressed the rampant misinformation circulating online, stating:
“Also, I’ve seen so much speculation and fake narratives and news, and whatever. That’s not right. I want to set it right and I want to set the record straight, just so everyone knows and there doesn’t need to be any more false, disgusting narratives.”
Since December, Antonelli has not appeared on Bábíčková’s Instagram, which she attributed to the status of their relationship.
“This is the last time I will speak about it. Even if you want more information, I’m not sharing it. It is what it is… Of course, if there is something that I really need to address but you can stop making speculations now because this is addressed,”
she concluded, signaling a desire for privacy moving forward.
Lando Norris Also Confirms End of Relationship with Magui Corceiro
Meanwhile, Lando Norris, the McLaren Formula One driver, confirmed reports that he and model Magui Corceiro have ended their relationship ahead of the season’s first race at the Australian Grand Prix. Like Antonelli and Bábíčková, the split has attracted attention given Norris’s high profile in the sport, especially as he recently secured a new contract extension with McLaren. While specific reasons for the breakup have not been disclosed by Norris, it adds to a wave of personal changes affecting some of the sport’s young drivers this year.
Kimi Antonelli’s Racing Progress and Future with Mercedes
Kimi Antonelli’s rise through the ranks has been rapid. He joined Mercedes as a junior driver in 2019 following a successful karting career. This year, he takes on a prominent role partnering George Russell as part of the Mercedes team following Lewis Hamilton’s departure. Antonelli made his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix, finishing in fourth place. He concluded his rookie season 15th in the driver standings, with his best result being a second-place finish behind Lando Norris at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Both Antonelli and Russell committed to new contracts with Mercedes in October, though the exact terms remain undisclosed. The start of this new chapter professionally coincides with his recent breakup, marking a period of transition personally and on the track.
Implications of These Breakups for the Drivers and Fans
The confirmation of these breakups for Lando Norris and Kimi Antonelli comes at a critical moment as the Formula One season is set to begin. Fans and media have been eager to learn more about the personal lives of these drivers, given their rising profiles. Bábíčková’s candid statements aim to dispel rumors and false narratives that have circulated about her relationship with Antonelli, emphasizing respect and honesty. For Norris, the separation from Corceiro adds another dimension to an already challenging year filled with expectations and new contract pressures.
As the season progresses, the focus for both drivers will likely return to their performance on the circuit, but their recent breakups may impact fans’ perceptions and media attention. The public acknowledgments hopefully bring clarity and allow both Norris and Antonelli to move forward without distraction. With high stakes both personally and professionally, how these changes influence their season remains to be seen.
