Lowe got married before Abu Dhabi

Paddy Lowe, 51, married his girlfriend Anna Danshina, 31, between the Indian and Abu Dhabi grands prix.

Bild newspaper reports that Ross Brawn's future successor as Mercedes team boss proposed to Danshina, who Lowe met in 2012, just three weeks ago.

"It just felt right," Briton Lowe, who for years was McLaren's technical director, told the German newspaper.

Bild said Lowe will forgo a honeymoon by returning to the pitwall in Abu Dhabi this weekend.
