Lewis Hamilton has had a saucy dating life ever since he entered Formula 1. Over the last 16 years, he has dated numerous women, mainly those who are or have been successful in fashion and entertainment.
His lengthiest relationship was with the Pussydoll sensation Nicole Scherzinger. The couple was together from 2007 to 2015, and though they had several splits in between, it’s the most committed Hamilton has remained with anyone.
But alas, the relationship couldn’t extend itself beyond Hamilton’s second championship victory. Three years down the line, the Mercedes star was rumored to date another pop sensation Nicki Minaj.
Multiple photos of them doing trips together further bolstered the speculations. But right at the end of the year, their links dwindled. However, a song for which Minaj worked in the following year suggests that maybe the two had an ugly split. And the reason could be Scherzinger.

The mere mention of Nicole hints at possible problems between Hamilton and Minaj during their time together. The whole phrasing of it also hints the two even had intimacy issues and the former Pussydolls sensation could be the reason.
The making of the song soon happened after the possible split between Minaj and Hamilton. It’s very likely that she targeted the two and could be sour about how things turned out. But nothing concrete can be said about it as the song never got released and it didn’t get enough attention.
The Mercedes star took a lifetime to move on from his ex
After Scherzinger, Hamilton failed to have a relationship that could last the test of time. On numerous occasions, he even seemed to be still reminiscing about the time with his girlfriend for eight years.
Before the 2017 Bahrain Grand Prix, Hamilton was spotted to be in a nostalgia. The Mercedes star uploaded an Instagram story while listening to Stickwitu by Pussycat Dolls. He even captioned it: “Nicole [Scherzinger] used to sing this for me. Such a beautiful song. Good times.”
Such revelations only hint that Hamilton took a long time to move on from his former partner. Officially, he is still single, though often gets linked with a few models in between.
