Pilotess Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinski celebrated her 23rd birthday. The girl is quite successful in the Audi Sport TT Cup championship. She is also the companion of Max Verstappen, the youngest driver to score points in Formula 1. At the last Brazilian Grand Prix, he finished ninth. Max could not miss the holiday of his beloved, so just before the stage, the couple celebrated it together on the island of Bali.

The grandfather of our heroine is Freddie Kottulinsky, the only Swede who won the Paris-Dakar rally. In 1980, he came to the finish line first in a practically serial Volkswagen Iltis car.

But Michaela did not immediately decide that she would become a racer. Until the age of 12, the girl dreamed of a career as a dancer, and also looked towards gymnastics.

Michaela's older brother grew out of his kart and gave it to his sister. There was nowhere to go, and the girl went headlong into the world of motorsport.

Our heroine gave karting for seven years and achieved considerable success there. She was in no way inferior to her rival boys and often found herself first on the podium.

After karting, Michaela moved into touring car racing.

On the instructions of her parents, she even tried herself in rallycross, but did not achieve serious results.

Last year, Michaela took her first victory in the VW Scirocco Cup, which is no doubt a great achievement.

This year Michaela competed in the Audi Sport TT Cup. She once climbed onto the podium and took 15th place at the end of the season. The girl is still let down by instability, she did not reach the finish line in half of the stages.

Michaela and Max look great together. Who knows, maybe soon our heroine will compete with her lover in Formula 1.
