For the longest time, Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger had the most mesmerizing relationships in all of Formula 1. Before their eventual break-up, Scherzinger had followed Hamilton through one of his toughest times in F1.

However, it all came to fruition at the 2014 British Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton won with Mercedes on home soil. But what was more interesting to see was how Scherzinger was there to witness it. In an interview in 2014, she spilt the beans about that fateful Sunday.

While speaking to TraxFM, Scherzinger said, “I prayed, I prayed so hard.”. She was in good company, too, “I was with his family yesterday watching it.” She went on to joke about how she felt watching the Brit win his home Grand Prix. “I don’t think you know how massive it is for me to have my boyfriend be happy to win so…yes!”
