One of the most feared men on the track, Lewis Hamilton is an absolute machine inside a single-seater. However, even the king of Formula 1 has to arguably bow down in front of a few. One of those few, back in 2015, issued an ultimatum to the seven-time world champion. We are not sure if the Brit paid heed to the ultimatum. However, the Mercedes man’s dating history definitely created some tension.

The Brit was rumored to be dating Rihanna in 2015, soon after his split from Nicole Scherzinger. Hamilton’s breakup with Scherzinger in February and his appearance with Rihanna at the Crop Over Festival in August were events that were possibly too close. This is what happened according to InTouch’s source, as reported by Ok Magazine.

The source said, “Nicole was constantly texting Lewis and it annoyed Rihanna. So she told him that if he doesn’t cut contact, it’s over. Rihanna’s worried that a spark may still linger. She wants to ensure she’s the main woman in Lewis’ life.”

Another source revealed Hamilton and Rihanna’s relationship was casual but the American singer wants things on her own terms. “He’s walking on air right now and content to do things entirely on her terms,” said the source.

The two made quite a buzz in all gossip circles as the new couple in town. There was no escape from it either, with their popularity. However, the two never made their rumored relationship official via any platforms. In fact, Hamilton completely disregarded the relationship as reported by the Mirror.

“You know, I’ve known Ri for a long time,” he said clarifying the relationship status. “We’ve been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again…”
