For Lewis Hamilton, from 2022 onwards, everything has come tumbling down in F1. In 2023, after rumors popped up of him dating Shakira, many thought of the pop star as a lucky charm for the 7-time champion. Whenever she appeared in the paddock, Hamilton would suddenly find pace and score good points. But all is not well between the two as Hamilton seems to want to be away from Shakira in recent times.

Their relationship was so highly romanticized on social media. Shakira’s close friend and Journalist Jordi Martin had confirmed the existence of a romantic relationship and that they were to jet off to the Caribbean for a trip. It was also confirmed that she was completely over her relationship with Gerard Pique. “She’s over Gerard and fast-tracking her romance with Lewis,” a source has now told InTouch Weekly. “They’re inseparable. It’s definitely a hot summer romance.”

After all these bold claims being made in the media, what has gone wrong with the pair? At the British GP, there was some resistance from Hamilton’s side. It was reported that the Briton prohibited the “Waka Waka” singer from entering the Mercedes Motorhome. And he did so because he wanted to focus on reviving his F1 career but she seemed to be adamant on one thing. He is upset because she wants to make believe that there is a relationship between the two,” said the hosts of the ‘Las Mamarazzis’ podcast, as quoted by TN.com.
