Lewis Hamilton and Shakira are the new hot gossip of the Formula 1 world as fans believe that something is definitely brewing between the two. Amidst these rumors, fans have dug up an old tweet made by Shakira’s ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique during the 2012 Singapore Grand Prix where the Spanish footballer was celebrating that Hamilton had crashed out.
The rumors about Hamilton and Shakira started when the Mercedes driver was spotted with the pop star on a boat during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. Things got even spicier when the Briton blurted out during a Mercedes Fan Fest in Barcelona that he needs a ‘Latina‘ in his life. And after the Spanish Grand Prix, the internet almost broke when pictures of Hamilton and Shakira having dinner together started to circulate.
Shakira has been single for over a year now. She announced her split with her ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique back in June of 2022. The couple were together for around 11 years before they broke up.
Pique Out! Hamilton is flying!
In light of the rumors about Hamilton and Shakira being a thing, fans have re-discovered an 11-year-old tweet made by Shakira’s ex-boyfriend. The tweet reads “Hamilton OUT!
