The stunning wife of former F1 driver Marcus Ericsson gained plenty of admirers over the weekend after she was seen consoling her man on the track following his Indy500 heartbreak.
Ericsson, who previously enjoyed five seasons in Formula 1 before moving over to IndyCar in 2019, narrowly missed out on his second title after finishing second in the prestigious open-wheel car racing event in Indianapolis on Sunday.
Yet if social media is anything to go by, the Swedish star’s defeat to Alex Palou was not the biggest talking point of the day.
Instead, fans were more focused on the jaw-dropping female in a tight chrome dress who was seen consoling him moments after the race.
Iris Tritsaris Jondahl, the 25-year-old Greek-Swedish model who married Ericsson, 34, back in 2023, was quick to rush onto the track and lift his spirits after the gut-wrenching loss.
Jondahl, who has 24,000 followers on Instagram, wed Ericsson in a private ceremony two years ago after first going public with their romance back in 2022.

Unusually, the couple actually got engaged after their wedding, with the influencer admitting they did things ‘backwards’ in August 2024.
She wrote alongside a photo of Marcus’ romantic engagement in Greece: ‘The true beauty of life is that it gives you the chance to create your own unique story. We might be doing it backwards, but this is our story, and we are in love with every chapter of it’.
Ericsson will need his wife by his side as he comes to terms with his agonizing second-place finish at Indy500 over the weekend.
The Andretti Global driver, who won the race back in 2022, was left to rue approaching a turn slightly wide 13 laps from the finish, with eventual winner Palou capitalizing and going on to claim victory.
‘It’s going to keep me up at night how I played that last stint with those lapped cars,’ he said while fighting back the tears after the race. ‘What could I have done different? What should I have done different?’
‘I gave it everything, and I tried my everything – I tried my best, of course,’ Ericsson added.
‘But I had that lead. If I had been second after that last (pit) stop and was (still) running second, then fine. But I had that lead! I had that race! And I lost it.’
