Beauty and Speed: Could Yael Shelbia Be the Newest F1 WAG?

F1 star Lance Stroll has been seen on holiday with a model and actress who has been described as 'the most beautiful woman in the world'

F1 Star Lance Stroll Spotted on Sizzling Hot Holiday with Israeli Supermodel Yael Shelbia - and She's Just Been Named One of the Most Beautiful Women in the World!

In a tantalizing tale of luxury, speed, and stunning beauty, Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll has been snapped enjoying a sun-kissed vacation with none other than Israeli supermodel Yael Shelbia. The gorgeous duo was spotted lounging on a picturesque beach, with Stroll looking dashing in his light blue tee and dark blue cap, while Shelbia dazzled in a colorful floral bikini and matching white trousers.

The image, which went viral after being leaked online, has left fans and followers of the F1 star absolutely swooning over Shelbia's breathtaking looks. "Gosh she is beautiful!" gushed one Instagram user, while another exclaimed, "She is so beautiful!" A third commenter claimed to have spotted the pair on a beach in Tel Aviv just days before, fueling speculation about their budding romance.

The sighting of her with Stroll comes after Shelbia was crowned champion of TC Candler's annual '100 Most Beautiful Faces of the Year' list in 2021

But who is this stunning Israeli beauty, and what makes her such a coveted catch? Yael Shelbia, 23, has been crowned champion of TC Candler's annual "100 Most Beautiful Faces of the Year" list - an accolade she humbly attributed to being "very exciting and flattering," despite initially being unaware that she was even participating in the contest.

As one of the most sought-after models on the planet, Shelbia has already made waves in the fashion world with high-profile campaigns for Kim Kardashian's KKW Beauty and Kylie Jenner's skincare range. Her social media snaps have also caught the attention of a certain football superstar - Lionel Messi, who featured alongside her in a promotional campaign for FINNEY mobile.

But with fame comes its fair share of challenges, as Shelbia candidly revealed during an interview. "I've received a large amount of support and love, also suitor messages I must admit... but there are also messages that weren't the nicest," she confessed. "They said the normal things that haters say, nothing worth any attention."

Shelbia's rise to fame began at just 16, when a local photographer spotted her Instagram snaps and asked her to participate in a photo shoot. Since then, she has been making waves on the fashion scene, placing consistently high in TC Candler's prestigious beauty awards - including second place in 2019.

Meanwhile, Stroll, who comes from a wealthy family with a net worth estimated at around £3billion, has been linked to several high-profile beauties in the past. His most recent known relationship was with model Sara Pagliaroli, but it seems he may have found himself smitten with Shelbia's charms.

As for his F1 career, Stroll has had a rocky season so far, failing to add to his three career podium finishes and missing the Spanish Grand Prix due to a hand and wrist injury. In June, he was involved in a heated incident in the team garage after being eliminated from qualifying, which some speculated may have been related to his injury.

But it seems even the pressures of F1 racing can't keep Stroll away from the glamour of his personal life - or the allure of the world's most beautiful women. As former Ferrari manager Gino Rosato so aptly put it on a recent podcast appearance: "Lance Stroll arrived there because he had money."
