The famous Croatian model, who gained worldwide notoriety during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar by appearing in revealing outfits in the colors of her homeland, was dubbed ‘the most beautiful fan of the World Cup’ and has made several appearances at other events since then.
Knoll, who recently attended a party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio where she mingled with celebrities like Drake, has also stood out at Formula 1 events.

The weekend before the race, she was in Miami for the Grand Prix, where she had backstage access to Alonso’s Aston Martin team. The model posed for a photo with the Spanish driver, who gifted her a signed hat.
Sharing the images with her 3 million Instagram followers, Knoll also posted a video of herself in the Aston Martin pit as Alonso exited the garage. Although the two-time world champion smiled for the photo with Knoll, he was furious with the result of the sprint race, accusing Lewis Hamilton of “coming in like a bull” when they collided at the first corner.
Hamilton, starting from a modest 12th place, had a good start in his Mercedes before colliding with Alonso, who was four positions ahead on the grid. The collision caused Alonso to crash into his teammate, Lance Stroll. Lando Norris, who was managing his own race on the outside of the initial turn, was hit by Stroll, who was out of control after the impact with Alonso.
Stroll and Norris had to retire from the race due to damage to their cars, while Alonso had to return to the pits with a flat tire. “Wow,” Alonso said over the radio. “Hamilton came in like a bull.” On the other hand, Hamilton justified over the radio: “There was a gap on the inside, so I went for it.”
The controversial collision marked a turbulent weekend for the drivers, but Ivana Knoll continued to attract attention with her vibrant presence at the event.
