FORMULA One is mourning following the tragic death of Kate Woodcock.

Here is what we know about the woman who worked alongside Lewis Hamilton.


Who was Kate Woodcock?


Kate Woodcock, 30, was a Formula One grid girl.

Kate, from Aldridge in the Midlands, had also modelled for magazines and worked at various PR events in the Birmingham area.

Kate spoke out when grid girls were axed saying: "I did it because I wanted to do it and loved it. It’s professional and nobody crossed the line once.

"I was booked because I was intelligent, well-spoken, hard-working and those elements go into the whole package."
