Well! Here we are again. Pondering over what kind of performance Lewis Hamilton will have on Sunday. For him, it is his home GP in Silverstone and his fans at least expect a podium finish, if not a win. And their expectations won’t be wrong. Because Hamilton has always been on the podium in Silverstone since 2014. And what better motivation for a victory than his rumored girlfriend Shakira, who has just arrived in London, ahead of the British GP?
After Spanish Journalist Jordi Martin’s confirmation, the relationship seems to be legit. And if the pair is really planning to jet off to the Caribbean in August, a win in Silverstone would make it all the better. Shakira would be traveling with a much happier and more content Lewis Hamilton. And fans have already declared him to be the winner if she is present in the paddock on Sunday.
Shakira has arrived to London today. Both the F1 British Grand Prix and Wimbledon are taking place this weekend. 🇬🇧

Hamilton is known to perform better at the British GP, with 8 wins on the circuit. However, with Mercedes‘ current run, one might even wonder how the podium streak continues. But after Shakira was spotted arriving in London ahead of the British GP, fans could not control their emotions. They know Hamilton is bound to turn things around in Silverstone now that his lucky charm has arrived.
Let us see how ecstatic the fans got after getting the news of Shakira landing in London.
Fans Expect Shakira’s Presence to Throttle Lewis Hamilton to a Victory In Silverstone
Mercedes’ and Hamilton’s struggles have been more than evident on the racetrack. For the team, the W14 has offered no support after the Spanish GP double podium. The Briton did get a podium in Canada, but Austria was where all the pent-up frustration came out. And boy, was he frustrated. Toto Wolff had to intervene on the radio to calm things down with a seemingly aggressive radio message.
Maybe it was the lack of Hamilton’s lucky charm being present at the Red Bull Ring that made things worse. But now, here she is in London to support her rumored flame. Well, that’s what we can assume unless she plans to be in attendance at Wimbledon and skip the British GP. The LH army could not control their excitement when the Colombian singer was spotted arriving in London. They just knew that their home hero is going drag his “Wheelbarrow” of a W14 on the podium.
You already know Lewis is dragging that Wheelbarrow on the podium! https://t.co/Go69qkVjRe

Some fans even wondered if the “Hips don’t lie” singer is the upgrade package that Toto Wolff was so passionately talking about.

“People are raising their expectations, go on and feed them this is your moment no hesitations.” This line from “Waka Waka” is probably exactly what Shakira has to say to her rumored flame. That, along with the support of his home crowd, could be the formula to Formula 1 success for the 7-time champion.
