“Love is a racing heartbeat and a racing car,” but when that car speeds through unpredictable terrains of relationships, even the most skilled drivers can be caught off-guard. Because when you’re an F1 driver, every twist and turn feels magnified at 200 mph and Daniel Ricciardo, found himself in such a quagmire, not due to on-track adversaries, but courtesy of his girlfriend, Heidi Berger‘s past, which her father, made no qualms about revealing. Yet, as the old adage warns, “Every love story has its bumps,” and it seems this pair is veering dangerously close to their first. And “Love’s a journey, not a race,” doesn’t seem like it.

Born amidst the roar of engines and the thrill of speed, Heidi Berger’s life has always been intertwined with F1. With her father being the famed Gerhard Berger. However, as she carved her niche in the world of acting, and studied at New York University, her career trajectory includes roles in TV series like ‘A Unico Mulhern’ and ‘Trakehnerblut’. The revelation of Honey Badger’s relationship with Heidi Berger was a high-octane announcement in itself.

Their love story had the makings of a modern fairytale–F1 superstar meets the scion of racing royalty, who’s making her mark in the world of acting. Yet, as the public celebrated their pairing, Berger’s past relationships, unbeknownst to many, lingered in the shadows. But her dating history is now under the scanner, especially in light of recent comments made by her own father.

While the two lovebirds have frequently been spotted sharing intimate moments, it was a seemingly innocuous conversation on the F1 Nation podcast that has the rumor mill buzzing. As Tom Clarkson bantered about Ricciardo potentially being Gerhard’s “future son-in-law,” Berger dropped a bombshell. “Well, he’s changing all the time, so I don’t know. Maybe you’re right for the moment, yes,” he remarked. This seemingly offhand comment, suggesting Heidi’s possibly varied dating history, suddenly places a spotlight on the Ricciardo-Berger union, making fans and pundits alike wonder: Is there more to the story than meets the eye?

This comment, ostensibly hinting at Heidi’s fluctuating relationship choices, casts uncertainty over the solidity of her bond with Ricciardo. One can’t help but wonder if Ricciardo’s off-track journey with Heidi will face a red flag or if they’ll successfully navigate this journey. But don’t they say the past is past? Even Daniel Ricciardo has attracted a few romances along the way.
