Shakira spotted at Spanish F1 as rumours swirl over relationship with Hamilton

SHAKIRA was seen beaming at the Spanish Grand Prix today as rumours swirl over her relationship with Lewis Hamilton.

The popstar was among spectators cheering on her close pal Hamilton as he roared around the track.

She stayed on the sidelines to watch him scoop second place after Max Verstappen triumphed at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Although she didn't don overalls and join the Mercedes pit crew, Shakira's presence alone was enough to set tongues wagging.

The Colombian songstress wore a funky patterned shirt, neon pink sunglasses and a white skirt, ensuring she was a glam addition to the audience at the Grand Prix.

She has dramatically returned to Barcelona for the first time since she ditched Spain to start a new life in Miami.

Her sons Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, joined her for the gruelling journey before she was set to hand them over to her footballer ex Gerard Pique.

But it seems Shakira may have killed two birds with one stone by scheduling the trip to coincide with Lewis' F1 race.

The alleged couple have been seen enjoying a string of cosy outings together in the wake of her messy split from Pique.

Lewis legend showed off his chivalry when he whisked her off for a boat day with pals in Miami - by picking her up from the back of her £12million beach mansion late last month.

He made sure Shakira didn't have too far to walk as she trotted down her private dock for the day out on the open-top cruiser.

The Mercedes driver, 38, quickly climbed out of the boat to lend the newly single mum a hand as she joined the group onboard.

Lewis later ensured she made it home safe as he dropped her back off at her plush new pad, where she counts the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin and Matt Damon as her neighbours.

Shakira's repeated rendezvous with Lewis have caused a stir since they enjoyed a dinner together at the lavish Miami restaurant Cipriani.

Smiling at each other, Shakira appeared to join 92-time race winner Lewis and pals at his table in a short video snapped by a fan.

But despite being seen hanging out with the most successful F1 driver of all time, The Sun Online understands the duo are just friends.

Her attendance at the international racing event in recent weeks has invited a host of speculation surrounding her love life.

Shakira appeared in high spirits when she was seen mingling with Tom Cruise at the Miami Grand Prix in May.

Spanish media reported that the Mission Impossible star, 60, was "absolutely mesmerised" by the singer and had even told a close circle of friends that he felt a connection with her.

Sources claimed that Tom was "giddy" after the chat while adding that the interactions were similar to "how he acted" when he first got with his ex-wife Katie Holmes.

An insider told Page Six that there was "chemistry" between the pair - with Tom sending her flowers after the meeting.

But Shakira reportedly shot down his advances and instead begged the actor to leave her alone and stop flirting with her.

The global superstar is reportedly "focused on her family" rather than dating anyone at the moment.
