The 55-year-old former Formula 1 champion and new wife Sigrid Silversand, who is more than 20 years his junior at 32, married in a star-studded ceremony at their 85-acre Scottish estate, Barwhinnock House, near Twynholm, Kircudbrightshire. Former Spice Girl Geri Horner and her ex-racing driver husband Christian were spotted outside luxury hotel The Murray Arms in nearby Gatehouse of Fleet ahead of the bash. Other notable attendees included DJ Professor Green as well as former F1 drivers Mika Häkkinen, Martin Brundle and Jean Alesi. Limousines and helicopters were deployed as celebrities and affluent guests made their way to the celebration. Scots TV presenter Lee McKenzie, who regularly covers F1 alongside Coulthard, shared a video on social media from inside a helicopter over the Scottish coast on Friday evening. On board with her was Scots racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart, 87, and Australian former racing driver Mark Webber, who posed with glasses of champagne and an open bottle. Ms McKenzie later shared photos of herself in two different formal outfits captioned 'wedding day one' and 'wedding day two'.

The former racing driver is godfather to the couple's teenage daughter, Lexi. The day's festivities were expected to end with a stunning fireworks display in the evening. Coulthard and Ms Silversand met around 2021 after the racing driver had split from his first wife, Karen Minier, with whom he has a 17-year-old son, Dayton. The couple were engaged in Mauritius last year and are understood to have had a recent civil wedding in Monaco, where Coulthard is based. Ms Silversand discussed the engagement last year, saying: 'It was a surprise as David is really good at hiding stuff. 'He kept it a secret and asked my parents for permission to marry me. He's a proper gentleman and there are only a few of them left.' Last month Coulthard reportedly had to be carried away from his stag do after a 13-hour drinking session. The racing driver-turned pundit was snapped stumbling out of a bar at 1am in Puerto Banus, Spain supported by friends - including Amanda Holden's husband Chris Hughes.

The group are said to have had lunch at the Ocean Club and forked out more than £1,000 for their own waiter and a poolside bed. Later, they attended La Sala bar, with Brundle, 67, among the first to end the night just after midnight. Coulthard was helped back to the hotel around an hour later after what looked like a heavy night. Chris, who married Amanda in 2008, is said to have told security guards: 'I'll put him to bed.' Friends remarked it looked like Coulthard had had 'the time of his life'.  The former Williams, McLaren and Red Bull driver was previously married to Karen Minier, a Belgian Formula One correspondent, from 2013 to 2022.
