Dannii & Kris attended the F1 Grand Prix in Melbourne and it was a special appearance because Dannii was pregnant at the time with their son (now named Ethan), and all eyes were on her baby bump.

Also with her was Australia's Got Talent fellow judge Brian McFadden (they tweeted pics for fans) and her friend Terry Ronald who was visiting down under helping her to complete her book which is now known as 'My Story'.

Etihad & Ferrari

Busy hardworking Dannii didn't attend many races this year. However, as an Ambassador for Etihad Airways, she is now also supporting Ferrari. Etihad is the official sponsor of the F1 team. At the launch of the new Terminal 4 @ Heathrow, she was spotted posing on a Ferrari race car.

Très jolie Danielle!

There has been many rumours about Dannii & Lewis Hamiton ever since they got snapped together @ Melbourne's GP. Both are keeping quiet ignoring the rumours but Dannii did pop up @ the Monaco GP hanging out with Button and Honda and checking things out.

Melbourne

Mercedes Benz Star lounge VIP party,Disco was there

Being a SuperStar has it's advantages.
At her 9th year @ the GP she got a handwritten invitation from the bosses at Mercedez-Benz.
She posed with new pal Lewis Hamilton who apparently asked her for her number, and kicked off Grand Prix Melbourne 2008.

ITV wanted her to do a TV interview

BBC reports: "I interviewed Dannii Minogue today – top lass and she knows her cars too.She's been into the sport for ages and as a Melbournite, she's a regular at the Aussie GP. We'll put up the Q&A for you later. "Yes indeed she does! Last year she predicted the winner.

As the Formula One season kicks off down under, we have been chatting to petrol head Dannii Minogue. The X Factor judge is a huge fan of F1 and is from Melbourne where the Australian GP takes place. Newsbeat sports reporter David Garrido caught up with her...

HOW DID YOU FIRST BECOME A FAN OF F1?
My first time I thought they drove in circles! It was a friend of mine, another girl, who explained the rules to me.I think it's a really good chick's sport once you know what's going on. The more you know about it, the more you love it, the more you have to watch it.

SO WHAT IS THE AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX LIKE?
Well Jenson Button is a friend of mine, so we get access into the paddock which is incredible. You get to walk through the pits and see the crews working on the cars.I'm a Melbournite and I have to say it seems like all the teams like being in Melbourne. The weather is sensational, the sky is blue, it's hot as anything and you need a cold beer to chill you off!I'm a rev head, a petrol head and I think it's a great advert to show the world how beautiful Melbourne is.

JENSON MUST HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATED LAST SEASON?
I just saw him and his spirits are really, really high. Everybody's excited that Ross Brawn [Honda's new boss, who spent 10 years at Ferrari] is on board.Already they are seeing that things are going to go up. With Ross on board they can only keep going up. So I think Jenson has got to hold on to that hope for a little bit longer.

WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF LEWIS HAMILTON'S DEBUT SEASON?
I think the guy is incredible. He is mostly perfect in every way, shape and form.I think it is amazing to see Britain have a real sporting hero who they can get behind. The world is now watching to see what the British drivers are going to do.I think in a way he showed up some of the other more experienced drivers in his attitude. It showed how good he was that other people felt threatened.
