Lewis Hamilton and Shakira have become F1’s latest and biggest rumored celebrity couple. Ever since her appearance at the Miami GP, Shakira was rumored to be dating the Briton. Despite her entourage terming Hamilton as a “womanizer”, the relationship has probably continued. Reportedly, they even planned a trip to the Caribbean in August. But following those accusations & rumors, now Hamilton has allegedly slid into the DMs of an Instagram model.

As per Spanish Journalist Jordi Martin, the pair are confirmed to be in a relationship. And they have even finalized a trip to the Caribbean, sometime in August. But there was one niggle in this relationship and that was Shakira’s entourage’s disapproval of the Mercedes driver. On Martin’s TV show, Amor y Fuego (Love and Fire), he revealed that Shakira was “happy and excited” about the relationship. While Hamilton has not confirmed any of this, there are still speculations that he is involved with Shakira. Although now as per a screenshot shared by model Celeste Bright, Hamilton has allegedly sent her a 1-word DM.

Bright shared a screenshot of her DMs on Instagram, where there was a “Hi” message from Hamilton’s account to her. She captioned it, “ANOTHER DM LOL AT LEAST THIS ONE IS SINGLE, GOOD MAN🙏🏻”. While this could be a fake account of the 7-time champion, it has caused some uproar. She is the same model who slammed Neymar for cheating on his partner, then DMing her. But there is a surprising twist in her story of Hamilton.

The surprising thing is that Bright’s Instagram account has now been deleted. It is nowhere to be found after she posted that story. It is possible that Hamilton’s PR team has been quick to minimize the damage. But, the damage is already done.

Adding to those PR Woes is Mercedes‘ performance at the Austrian GP.

Lewis Hamilton Drops Down the Grid In a Penalty-Plagued Austrian GP

Lewis Hamilton started the Austrian GP in P5. He overtook Lando Norris after a good start and secured P4. However, the W14 was no match for the Ferraris ahead and he had to spend his time defending P4 from Norris and his upgraded McLaren. To worsen things, the 7-time champion was given a 5-second penalty for exceeding track limits.

Hamilton was absolutely livid after receiving the penalty. Though several other drivers were in the same boat, he was more focused on the stewards not giving Sergio Perez any penalty. He complained about it on his team radio and eventually, Toto Wolff had to shut him down. Wolff said, “Lewis, the car is bad, we know. Please drive it”. Hamilton eventually finished the race in P7, losing 2 positions from the start.

The British racer seems to be having a tough time on and off the track. The W14 has slowed down and there is a possibility of his love life slowing down with Celeste Bright’s claims.
