Mercedes reserve driver Valtteri Bottas was spotted walking a bride down the aisle at the Las Vegas Grand Prix as the couple tied the knot during the race weekend in Sin City.
Bottas sported a sequinned Las Vegas Grand Prix bomber jacket and Mercedes cap as he was seen walking down the aisle and holding the bride's bouquet during the ceremony.
While the inaugural race weekend in Las Vegas in 2023 featured a "Race to the Altar" package at the Little Vegas Chapel, the 2025 race weekend has seen the introduction of the F1 Neon Chapel in the Formula 1 paddock.
1997 F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve and his now-wife Giulia Marra tied the knot in the Little Vegas Chapel during the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend, with him becoming the first F1 driver to get married in a paddock. The wedding featured the traditional Here Comes the Bride entry alongside the F1 theme song with an Elvis impersonator officiating the ceremony.
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc was quick to shut down any speculation that he and his fiancée Alexandra Saint Mleux might follow in Villeneuve's footsteps and make the most of the F1 paddock chapel ahead of the race weekend.
“I know you all want to know if I’ll take advantage of the Las Vegas race to get married, but I’ll tell you straight away, no,” he told Ferrari. “Alex and I prefer to do things at the right time…”

The Monegasque driver announced that he had popped the question to his long-term partner on 2 November 2025.
"Yeah, I mean, I'm very, very happy. Obviously, it was a special week, full of emotions. It's a very special moment for anyone to do that step," Leclerc told the media ahead of the Brazil Grand Prix. "And yeah, Alex and I are incredibly happy."
