After spending a brilliant weekend full of spectacular struggles and dramatic clashes, the racer outplayed many rivals and eventually finished in 7th and 4th positions, gaining the points necessary for the team to continue the struggle for the constructors' cup and championship.

Artyom Valerievich Markelov was born in Moscow on September 10, 1994 in the family of a Russian entrepreneur known for his work in the organizations "Mobile", "Roszheldorproject" and the scandalously advertised group of companies "1520".

Almost nothing is known about the childhood of the future racer and his sister, singer and host of the FashionTV television channel Christina Orsa. In an interview, Artyom rarely talks about family and parents, preferring to discuss sports-related issues.

True, in one of his conversations with journalists, Markelov admitted that his father and mother were strict in matters of upbringing, and as a teenager he spent little time with friends and returned home no later than 9 pm. Such a regime helped in sports, which took place in the children's karting school "Silver Rain".

At the age of 11, the director of the racing group noticed Artyom's successes and took him into the team, starting to learn the intricacies of driving and the art of overtaking. In theoretical lessons, Markelov studied the basic rules of racing and worked on mistakes made during training races.

In the senior group, the young man took part in real competitions, which consisted of qualifying stages and the main part of the race. Since that time, the boy, accompanied by a coach and parents, traveled a lot around the world and took part in the youth championships of the highest level.

The adult biography of Markelov began in the ADAC Formula-Master series, which existed from 2008 to 2014. Driving a car owned by the Motopark Academy, the Russian racer had 11 prize races and, together with Emil Bernstorf, Keen Christrensen and Mario Farnbacher, ensured the team a victory in the constructors' cup.

In 2012-2013, the young athlete drove on the tracks of the German national championship and successfully mastered the racing configuration of a Formula 3 car. As a result, after several victories at German racing circuits, Markelov won 2nd place in the standings and got the opportunity to move to the next step in his career by signing a partnership agreement to participate in the international GP2 series.

The new car with the logo of the Russian team “Russian Time” did not immediately submit to the young ambitious racer and in the debut season left him far beyond the more experienced top ten. Markelov was extremely disappointed, because for the first time in history, competitions of this level were held in Russia on a specially built track in Sochi.

In the off-season, Artyom did serious preparatory work and devoted a lot of time to an exercise bike and a racing simulator. Together with the mentors, a new tactic and strategy was developed that allowed in 2015 to reach the bronze podium in Belgium and complete the championship in the middle of the standings. By this time, the Russian pilot had fans, and he enjoyed taking joint photos and participating in press conferences at each of the international stages.

National television did not broadcast the GP2 series race cars, and few people knew about Markelov's victory at the Monaco Grand Prix. But it was then that the pilot experienced incredible emotions and, together with his parents, rejoiced to tears. Putting his hopes on the 2017 season, Artyom was not mistaken and, having won first places in 5 races, became vice-champion and contender for a place in the Formula 1 team.

However, it was not so easy to get into the elite, and Markelov continued his performances in the junior series, at the same time performing the duties of a test driver in the French Renault Sport Formula One Team. In 2018, the rider took part in the official free practice session at the Russian Grand Prix and worked for several days in the winter tests held annually in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

Remaining a combat pilot of Formula 2, Artyom won gold podiums at stages in Austria and Bahrain, and also managed to repeat the triumphant race and victory in Monaco. Against the background of such success, it was very offensive to retire during the racing weekend at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, when Markelov did not keep the car on the track and drove into the bump stop near the Baku Philharmonic.

At the end of the season, the Russian driver let Britons George Russell and Lando Norris pass ahead, who won seats in the Royal Series in 2019 and became Williams Racing and McLaren F1 Team drivers.

Artyom's fans hoped that their idol would also find a suitable vacancy, and happily believed rumors that Valery Markelov was negotiating the purchase of one of the famous teams. But this information was not confirmed, and the vice-champion of the 2017 season had to go through the scandal associated with the arrest of his father, and be content with participation in the senior division of the Japanese auto racing championship.

For those who are not interested in auto racing, Artyom Markelov is known as the beloved presenter Alena Vodonaeva, who is familiar to viewers from her long-term participation in the television project Dom-2. From the outside, it seemed that the couple was trying not to advertise the relationship that had arisen, but they constantly fell into the lenses of the paparazzi during walks and romantic dates.

And again, the corrupt Santa Barbara and Spain nowhere ?? Scandals, intrigues, investigations. 23 year old son ...

The personal life of the racer and his famous girlfriend immediately became overgrown with rumors and piquant details, the most interesting of which were news about pregnancy and the upcoming marriage. This was not confirmed, and the public lost interest in the couple, who disappeared from the eyes of journalists and quietly parted without quarrels and recriminations.

At the beginning of 2019, it became known that Artyom became the new boyfriend of producer and party girl Katya Zhuzhi, who, like Vodonaeva, made a name for herself on the reality show Dom-2. At first, the couple also hid the relationship, but after the publication of joint photos, they stopped hiding from friends and journalists.

Possessing an enviable income, young people did not deny themselves anything: they lived in luxurious apartments and spent their holidays in a Spanish villa, bought with the salary of Markelov Sr.

Recently, a romantic post dedicated to the mysterious lover appeared on the racer's Instagram, from which it follows that the young people got married, plan to have a joint child and live together for the rest of the days.

Now Artyom Markelov lives with his young wife Katya Zhuzha and her daughter, whose name is Nicole. In February 2020, it became known that the couple were officially married, and the newlywed took her husband's surname.
