Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger’s relationship was one of the very well-known relationships in the Formula 1 world. The relationship, however, had its difficulties, and they ultimately broke up back in 2015. They met in 2007 but called it quits after an 8-year-period.

Since then, both have moved on. But back in 2014, during Hamilton’s championship charge, rumors emerged that the Briton has proposed to his girlfriend. Well, he put an end to it via a tweet, but interestingly, the Metro reported that Scherzinger rather turned down his proposal thrice in the past.

“The French Grand Prix up next is one of the smoothest circuits, made up of predominantly medium and high-speed corners. Mercedes have always gone well there in the past, and it surely poses their best chance of fighting for victory on merit so far this year,” he said.
