POWER COUPLE FIRING UP

FORMULA 1 ace Daniel Ricciardo is believed to be dating model Jessica Gomes.

The pair reportedly have been seeing each other for several weeks, in what could be the making of Australia’s next celebrity power couple. Both hailing from Perth, they famously posed together (above) for the Melbourne Grand Prix in 2015.

Ricciardo, 29, split with his long-term girlfriend Jemma Boskovich at the beginning of 2016. This year he was linked to event manager Annemarie Horbass. Gomes, 34, has appeared in the Sports Il

lustrated swimsuit issue six times and has dated actor Xavier Samuel, property developer Sebastian Drapac and rugby player Rocky Elsom.

While neither Gomes nor Ricciardo could be contacted yesterday, well-placed sources confirmed the pair were a turbocharged item.

Ricciardo ended his relationship with the Red Bull F1 team this year and will debut for Renault in March.
