In the last few months, Shakira has attended quite a few Grand Prix. She reportedly met Lewis Hamilton for the first time at the Miami Grand Prix. They went out and met again later and that’s when rumors surrounding their secret romance surfaced on social media. Unsurprisingly, the Waka–Waka singer could be on her way to making her third Grand Prix appearance.

Ahead of the British Grand Prix, Hamilton received punishment from the FIA. That is because the F1 racer violated one of the rules in the F1 handbook. But that wouldn’t be a barrier for the driver as he strives to break his 19-month drought without a victory.
