CRISTIANO RONALDO’s partner Georgina Rodriguez was given a special responsibility at Formula E’s latest event.
The motorsport series was in Saudi Arabia on Friday and Saturday for rounds three and four of the championship.
Georgina was given the privilege as a special guest of visiting the pit lane before the race.
Dressed from head to toe in leather, she completed her look with a striking multi-coloured black, white and light blue jacket.
The 31-year-old spoke with Porsche driver Antonio Felix Da Costa about how the sport and cars work.
But her most important role was still to come.
As German DS Penske driver Maximilian Günther crossed the line to win the race, Georgina was given the chance to wave the chequered flag.
Nissan driver Oliver Rowland was leading the field until the final moments, when pole-sitter Gunther lunged down the outside to get ahead.
There was also a third-place podium finish for 20-year-old Brit, Taylor Barnard with NEOM McLaren – in Saturday’s race he became the youngest ever Formula E pole-sitter and came second in a first-ever all-British podium.
Georgina is the mother of Ronaldo’s fourth child Alana and his youngest daughter Bella.
She was born on January 27, 1994, in Jaca, Spain to a Spanish mum and Argentine dad.
Georgina learned dance before changing careers to modelling after studying English in London.
The 30-year-old was first spotted on a string of dates with then-Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo towards the end of 2016.
Georgina has claimed that her first meeting with the football star was “love at first sight.”
“Our first meeting was at Gucci, where I worked as a sales assistant,” she recalled in an interview with The Sun .
“Days later, we saw each other again at another brand’s event.
“It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside my work environment. It was love at first sight for both.”
