Lewis Hamilton is on cloud nine after his driver-of-the-day-worthy performance in Barcelona. Only for the second time in the season, the Brit finished on a podium. However, more than the podium, Mercedes has made progress with the car that will please Hamilton. Most would assume the improved W14 was the reason behind Hamilton’s incredible drive. However, there are a set of fans who believe it was the presence of Shakira that brought out the performance. These assumptions are an addition to the ongoing dating rumors between the two. However, Shakira’s taking a trip down to the circuit, wearing what she was wearing is definitely adding fuel to these dating rumors.

Let us backtrack to give you the full picture. Hamilton took a trip to the Cannes Film Festival where met a host of celebrities including Dua Lipa.

The pop singer is in Barcelona for at least one reason. The first and primary reason behind Shakira’s visit to the country is Gerard Pique. According to their separation agreement, the soccer star will spend 70% of his summer break with his kids, Milan and Sasha. Pique was supposed to be on a flight to the United States but changed his plans after Shakira’s request.

Now, with the kids away with the father, Shakira will spend two weeks doing activities she wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. One such activity was obviously catching the race in Barcelona. The paparazzi also captured Shakira wakeboarding soon after Hamilton was spotted doing so earlier in the day. The two are coincidentally doing a lot of similar activities together or around the same time frame.
