Among the crowd of spectators was famed singer Shakira, who was openly cheering for her good buddy Lewis Hamilton, the 7XWDC champion, as he raced around the track. She chose to stay on the sidelines as a member of the Mercedes pit crew rather than actively take part in the race, instead contently witnessing Hamilton finish in second place and Max Verstappen win at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
However, Shakira’s simple appearance generated a lot of rumors and conversation because Hamilton and she have been spotted together frequently since her rocky split from her former husband and popular Spanish footballer, Gerard Pique. Shakira has further increased the intrigue around her romantic life, alongside Lewis Hamilton, by visiting several international racing events in recent weeks.

Amongst all the ongoing rumors, the duo put Twitter on fire when they were seen having dinner with a few friends. A picture went viral of that night post the Spanish Grand Prix, which included Hamilton and Shakira side by side. The most interesting or controversial thing about the picture was the way the Mercedes driver held the Columbian singer by the waist which put fuel to the fire. Despite all these occurrences, the two like to call each other “good friends”.

Lewis Hamilton holds a record of dating the most gorgeous and popular women which includes models Barbara Palvin and Winnie Harlow, famous socialite Sofia Richie, popstars Nicki Minaj and Rihanna among many more. Newly single Shakira might be the perfect one since the Briton wanted to find himself a Latina.
With second and third-place finishes on the podium at the Spanish Grand Prix, Mercedes accomplished an amazing feat. With a deft pass over Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton firmly established himself in second place. Despite a late attack from Sergio Perez, George Russell demonstrated his skills by moving up an amazing nine spots to take a well-deserved third place. With their latest modifications, Mercedes’ performance in the future will determine whether or not their victory is merely a flurry in the pan or an indication of lasting dominance.
