He is a regular fixture at many races throughout the F1 calendar in support of the Williams driver but what many racing fans don't know is that she has a very impressive sporting career of her own as a pro golfer.

Born in Sichuan region of China, He was first introduced to golf by her father and moved to North America when she was six-years-old. She began properly pursuing a career as a pro golfer once she reached her teens.

In 2020 she told Golf Digest: "We moved to Vancouver when I was 6. My parents found a coach, Jake Kwon, who they liked because he was strict. In Canada, all the girls played together, no age groups.

"I improved fast, playing against older girls. After six years, we moved to San Diego, mostly for my golf. It was all that was going on in my life, but I didn’t have that clear vision of wanting to be a professional golfer until I was 15 and qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open. The feeling of playing well under that pressure with all those people around, nothing can compare."

During her career as an amateur, He won the 2015 Polo Junior Classic and the 2017 Minnesota Invitational. She would then spend a year at the University of Southern California where she studied communications.

He would put her studies on hold however the pursue golfing full time and turned professional at the age of 17 after making four starts on the LPGA tour.

She followed that up with a win at the 2018 Prasco Charity Championship and the 2019 Q-Series.

He's romance with Albon first budded back in 2019, when the driver had then been contracted with Red Bull. He had watched Albon speak openly about his struggles at the team in Drive To Survive. No stranger to adversity in her own sport, He took a gamble and reached to the driver on Instagram.
