Shakira and Lewis Hamilton have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The Waka–Waka singer recently traveled to Barcelona. Basically, she had gone to drop off her kids to their father. After weeks, the singer will be back to collect them and return to Miami. But her trip to Spain has further pushed her into a ‘romance’ controversy with Hamilton.

That is simply because the Latin American singer turned up for the Spanish Grand Prix and then they hung out together! In a recent conversation, her ex-boyfriend seemed quite uncomfortable with the F1 racer rumors. Recently, Pique has been in an awkward place due to Hamilton’s sudden emergence in Shakira’s life. To make things worse, one of his tweets from 2012 also went viral on social media.

Pique’s awkwardness is visible as Shakira is reportedly dating Hamilton

Since the diss track controversy, Pique has preferred to stay lowkey. Other than his Kings League, he barely makes any appearances at other sporting events. Most recently, he just attended the Coldplay concert with Clara Chia Marti. Other than that, he reportedly skipped the chance to attend the Spanish Grand Prix despite being a VIP pass holder.

While the soccer veteran has seemingly started to interact lesser with the media, his ex-teammate recently put him on the spot. That person is none other than Sergio Aguero. During a live chat, Aguero suddenly brought up the Hamilton – Shakira saga. He said, “Do you support an English racer?”, as compiled by Los 40 and translated by Google Translate. Immediately, other members had a slight chuckle after hearing that.

The Manchester City striker repeated, “Yes, I say the one who is number one”. An uncomfortable Pique replied, “But the number one is English?”. “I am a ‘fan’ of Hamilton, I like Hamilton, what is the problem?”, said Aguero. The retired defender then tried to change the topic immediately. He said, “That’s It, he’s a ‘fan’ of Hamilton. That’s it, what’s wrong?”.

Unbelievably, Pique had said something about Lewis Hamilton in 2012 on Twitter. Recently, someone from the fanbase managed to dig that out and bring it to the forefront.

What did Pique comment on Hamilton back in 2012?

Pique has always been an avid watcher of many sports other than soccer. Back in 2012, Hamilton was competing in the Singapore Grand Prix. During that race, his gearbox had given up during the early stages of the race. Due to the technical difficulty, he failed to finish the race. In context to the same, Pique tweeted, “Hamilton OUT! Alonso is flying now!”.

While Pique has tried to keep a low profile in recent times, this tweet will not do his reputation any good. The fans poked fun at the FC Barcelona legend on Twitter. A fan wrote, “Every tongue that rises against sir Lewis Hamilton shall fall”. Another one wrote, “Lewis Hamilton has won 6 world championships and 1 Shakira since this tweet”.

Without a doubt, Pique’s actions from the past continue to haunt him in the present.
