The Briton previously dated the Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger on and off for around 7 years. The pair finally called it quits in 2015.

In an interview with IWC watches in 2015, the then 3-time world champion was asked what would he do if he could turn back time. Lewis Hamilton replied, “Probably ask a girl out that I didn’t ask out maybe”.

The host was flabbergasted by Lewis’ response. He wanted to ask Lewis if the girl knew he wanted to ask her out. However, due to the rapid-fire round, he continued with the other questions in order to finish the game.

Sadly, we are not certain who this mystery girl is who Lewis talked about in the #IWCTalksTo interview.

Lewis was also rumored to be dating British pop-star Rita Ora after his breakup with Scherzinger. However, neither of them confirmed their relationship publicly.
