Ivana Knoll once again proved why she is the "World Cup's sexiest fan" as she sent the internet into a frenzy during the Miami Grand Prix. The Croatian model, who skyrocketed to fame during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, made a brief but unforgettable appearance on the live Sky Sports F1 broadcast that left both the crew and viewers at home completely distracted.
As Simon Lazenby, Naomi Schiff, and Jenson Button were conducting a live walk-and-talk through the paddock, the 33-year-old influencer strutted past the presenters in a tiny black crop top and denim shorts. The Sky Sports cameraman appeared to lose focus on the hosting trio, momentarily tracking Knoll as she walked by. The "distraction" didn't stop there, as a McLaren mechanic caught in the background was seen doing a double-take with a stunned expression that quickly became a viral meme in its own right.
Knoll, who has attended every Miami GP since its debut in 2022, took the viral moment in her stride. Sharing the clip with her 2.8 million Instagram followers, she joked, "Cameraman knew what he was doing," alongside a series of laughing emojis. Fans were quick to flood social media with jokes, with one quipping that the operator "forgot he was live" for a solid five seconds.
While the action on the track saw Kimi Antonelli secure a sensational third consecutive victory for Mercedes, it was the "Knoll Doll" who stole the headlines in the paddock. Having recently pivoted into a music career as a professional DJ, Ivana continues to prove she is the ultimate crossover star, effortlessly bridging the gap between the football stadium, the F1 grid, and the fashion world.
