Notably, in 2023, Shakira wasn’t only present with the Haas as she was also seen in the Mercedes VIP lounge in Silverstone. This was the second time the Colombian pop star was seen with the Silver Arrows after Miami. By this time, Hamilton’s dating rumor with Shakira picked up pace.
This was after the duo was spotted together chatting in a boat in Miami during the 2023 Miami Grand Prix. Following this, they were also spotted on a dinner date with their friends. Therefore, from Miami GP to Mercedes’ garage in British GP, the dating rumor was already in full swing.
Lewis Hamilton and Shakira’s stand on their dating rumor
As the F1 world was going gaga over Lewis Hamilton dating Shakira, the duo did not even budge. They did not even address the rumors despite the paddock and social media being full of talks about them.
When asked to Toto Wolff about this, the Mercedes boss said in a report published by Next Gen Auto, “I didn’t see anything. I was just looking at my screen.” This shows how cleverly the Austrian escaped addressing the rumors.

Notably, one of Shakira’s friends allegedly said that Hamilton disrespected Shakira by not letting her into the Mercedes motorhome in Silverstone. As per Diario AS, the Colombian singer wasn’t allowed access to the Mercedes camp during the British GP.
As a result, this rumoredly brought a rift between them and they have not been seen together ever since. Following this incident, the rumors of Lewis Hamilton dating Shakira died down pretty soon.
