Lady love can be a cruel mistress at times. While Lewis Hamilton has had the world at his feet ever since he debuted in Formula 1 in 2007, it would appear that his personal life isn’t as amicable to the 7x champion as his fans are. The fortunes of the 38-year-old on track have been on the up recently. But rather than crediting Mercedes‘ stellar development in 2023, fans have attributed this to his rumored belle, Shakira.

The Colombian icon has been seen regularly attending F1 races, and coincidentally, Hamilton has been doing well. That being said, it all seems to have come to naught. It would appear that the 46-year-old singer has rekindled a past romance and probably left the Brit high and dry.

He took to his Instagram today to share a few pictures of his ripped self in the gym, and captioned it, “In my sport, every kilo matters. Even being a little off impacts lap times and race pace. It’s crucial to eat well, sleep well, and put in work at the gym. If you’re ever having a tough time remember that we’re in this together. It’s never easy, but always worth it.”

But if the events post-Silverstone are anything to go by, all’s not lost for Lewis Hamilton.
