Russian blond racing with Ferrari star?

Young Russian beauties are notorious for stealing married men. Now, rumor has it that Russian-born model Ksenia Tchumitcheva has fatally rocked the boat in Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso’s marriage of five years.

­The Spanish Formula 1 driver is reported to have split with wife, Spanish rock singer Raquel del Rosario, just before Christmas.

German tabloid Bild has already nicknamed the Russian beauty “Tschumi” – a play on the similarity of her name and Alonso’s main German rival, Michael Schumacher, aka “Schumi”. Bild said two-time (or should that read ‘two-timingWorld Champion Alonso had always dreamt of winning “Schumi”, but has so far managed only to run for “Tschumi”.

Alonso and his new girlfriend, 24-year-old Switzerland-based Tchumitcheva, started seeing each other quite a while ago, according to reports and photographs in the Italian, Spanish, German and Swiss media.

Last summer, paparazzi captured the couple enjoying themselves at a Swiss night club.  Tchumitcheva even shared some photos with Alonso on Twitter, among them pictures of her taken inside the “Ferrari Stable” where only the initiated can enter.
