He has been a fan of motor racing for many years and often appears at Grand Prix events around the world.

And Gordon Ramsay looked in good spirits as he enjoyed a weekend at the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, on Sunday afternoon.

The chef, 57, beamed a wide smile as he walked through the paddock in the sunshine during the F1 event.

He dressed casually in a simple black T-shirt and wore dark shades to shield his eyes from the rays.

Gordon even stopped to take some selfies with fans and was seen strolling around with some of the crew.

Gordon is a regular face at the Grand Prix and has previously attended with his 24-year-old daughter Holly.

It comes after Gordon last month gave an insight into how the super-rich are improving their homes.

The Ny Breaking revealed that Ramsay sold a house in south London for £7.75 million – after buying it for just £7.5 million last year – so his family could have somewhere to live while their main home was less than a mile away was improved.

Although the celebrity chef made a £250,000 profit from the sale, that figure pales in comparison to the more than £1 million in stamp duty he is said to have handed over when he bought the five-bedroom Edwardian home in January last year.

A family friend confirmed: ‘This property was sold several months ago when renovation work on the family home was completed.’

Land registry documents show that the house was sold in May. The new owner would be the boss of an energy company.

Ramsay bought the home of Gina Coladangelo, girlfriend of former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, and her estranged husband, store boss Oliver Tress.

The price paid by the cursed chef caused astonishment among the neighbors.

Not only was it almost double the £3.8 million paid by Ms Coladangelo and Mr Tress in 2015, but it was also £2.5 million more than the highest price previously paid for any property on their street .

The premium is said to have arisen because Mr Tress and Mrs Coladangelo had a basement extension added, including an underground swimming pool.

Ramsay, who has an estimated fortune of £180million, has had his own super-basement added to his family’s main home, which he and his wife Tana, 50, bought in 2002 for £2.8million.

It is now thought to be worth £7 million. The improvements include a wine shop and a master bedroom that take up an entire floor.

In the basement, the chef has space for another bedroom with en suite bathroom, a study, a technical room, a luggage room and a shower room.

The couple have six children, including Holly, who recently announced her engagement to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, 29.
