Lewis Hamilton is arguably the biggest superstar in F1 and has been one ever since his debut in 2007. He is the only driver who has been able to perfectly blend the ‘Hollywood’ side of the sport with the actual racing.

Hamilton has nurtured great friendships with many celebrities over the years. This was evident after the 2022 F1 Abu Dhabi debacle as multiple celebs came out in support of him and claimed him ‘getting robbed’ last season.

Concurrently, though, Hamilton has been in a relationship with quite a few celebrities. Perhaps the most famous was the one with singer Nicole Scherzinger, which was a feature early in his career. Since it ended, the Mercedes driver has been linked with quite a few other people. In this piece, we take a look at a few celebrities that Lewis Hamilton has been involved with over the years.
