Lewis Hamilton's F1 grid girl Kate Woodcock, 30, killed in horror BMW crash

UPDATED OCT 1, 2018

A Formula One grid girl who made headlines after rubbing shoulders with F1 star Lewis Hamilton lost her life after crashing her BMW into a wall, according to reports. On Thursday night, 30-year-old Kate Woodcock was driving down Chester Road near Sutton Coldfield, about five miles from her residence in Aldridge, when she lost control of her car.

Family and close friends set up a fundraising page to cover Woodcock's funeral costs and were able to raise at least $5,300 after more than 100 contributors donated, exceeding $1,000 over the target. While Formula One grid girls are randomly allocated places with any driver on a given day, Woodcock worked with Hamilton regularly for over two years.
