Hey there, speed demons and Hollywood drama fans! Ready for some juicy F1 tattle mixed with a pinch of Hollywood romance? Buckle up, because it’s quite the ride! Love triangles in Hollywood are no surprise, but when they involve a pop star, a Formula 1 racing sensation, and a Mission Impossible actor, the tale gets spicier. With F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, global sensation Shakira, and Hollywood’s very own action hero Tom Cruise involved, things are about to get spicy. Ready to cruise through this romantic saga?
Steering into the world of romance, Hamilton and Shakira have been seen painting the town red. From boat rides in Miami to delightful dinners in Spain’s romantic hotspot, Barcelona, these two have been fueling romance rumors like a well-oiled engine. And the Lewis Hamilton Girlfriend effect is very real on the fans! The question of the moment is: Is Lewis Hamilton dating? Yet, with Shakira recently getting out of a relationship, the waters seem murky.
Forget Fernando Alonso and Taylor Swift.

Will Lewis Hamilton invite Tom Cruise to COTA after stealing Shakira at Miami GP?
But wait, there’s a twist! Before you think this is just a simple budding romance story, Hollywood biggie Tom Cruise zooms into the frame. Cruise, known for his action-packed roles, apparently had been wooing the “Waka Waka” singer even before Hamilton turned on his charm. With pictures of Shakira and Cruise going viral after the Miami Grand Prix pre-race ceremonies, the rumor mill’s gears have been churning non-stop.

Hamilton, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to be taking a pit stop in this race for affection. Just days after Cruise’s “date” with Shakira, our F1 champ was spotted picking her up from her mansion for a breezy boat ride. With an American fencer, Miles Chamley-Watson, joining the duo, it looked like quite the fun-filled day under the Miami sun. Now, here’s the million-dollar question: With Cruise and Hamilton being quite chummy in the past (we’ve even seen Cruise dabbling in the pit crew business for Hamilton), will Lewis invite him to the United States GP? Is it going to be a friendly gesture or a “stay-in-your-lane” challenge? We’re as intrigued as you are!
The silence from all parties involved has the rumor mill working overtime, and fans are keeping their fingers crossed for some juicy updates. With Hamilton’s history of high-profile romances and Shakira’s recent split from Gerard Pique, things are surely heating up in this Formula 1-Hollywood crossover. Stay tuned and buckle up because we’re just as eager to see how this story accelerates. But if you’ve ever fancied seeing Lewis Hamilton swapping his racing helmet for a fighter pilot’s jumpsuit, it could’ve happened. That’s right! The seven-time F1 champ was almost cruising alongside Tom Cruise in the highly anticipated Top Gun Maverick. 🏁💖🎬
When Tom Cruise offered Hamilton a role in Top Gun
Dishing the details in a recent Vanity Fair interview, Hamilton spilled the beans about his close camaraderie with Cruise. It all began years ago when Hamilton got an invitation from Tom to visit the set of Edge Of Tomorrow. Their bond only revved up from there, so much so that Cruise was found celebrating his 60th by cheering for Hamilton at the British Grand Prix.

Upon hearing about the Top Gun sequel, Hamilton’s excitement knew no bounds. He approached Cruise with a simple request: “I don’t care what role it is. I’ll even sweep something,” he enthusiastically shared. Offered a fighter pilot role, Hamilton was ecstatic, but alas! His F1 commitments took pole position, leading to “the most upsetting call that I think I’ve ever had,” as he had to turn it down.
While Hamilton’s silver screen debut alongside Cruise might have been shelved, his interests are definitely expanding. Apart from acquiring a stake in the NFL franchise, Denver Broncos, he’s also linked to a new Apple TV+ film project centered on F1, directed by none other than the man behind Top Gun: Maverick, Joseph Kosinski. The cherry on top? It stars Hollywood icon Brad Pitt.

Rumors of Hamilton’s potential retirement are in the pit lane for now. Having renewed his Mercedes contract for another two thrilling years, he asserts, “I’m still on the mission, I’m still loving driving.” So, while we might’ve missed out on seeing Hamilton soar with Maverick, his commitment to Formula 1 remains unshaken. Still, the idea of Lewis and Tom sharing the big screen? Now that’s a dream crossover! 🏎️✈️🎬
