The perfect F1 power couple - the reigning world champion and the breathtaking model wife.
But behind the flawless smiles and diamond rings, the marriage was nothing more than a carefully drafted contract.
Adriana Cortés knew how to play the role.
She could smile for the headlines, pose for the flashbulbs, even touch Max's arm just enough to keep the tabloids guessing.

The cameras never caught it.
But Max did.
