F1 ACE Lewis Hamilton has been spotted relaxing with supermodel Juliana Nalu after jetting to the beauty’s homeland.
The pair were snapped partying together yesterday at a pre New Year’s Eve bash in the stunning coastal resort of Transcoso, north-east of Brazil.
Fans later posted photos of Hamilton and Rio de Janeiro-born Juliana at a swish restaurant in the hippie chic destination.
The model – who has dated Kanye West -has been romantically linked on and off to the racing driver for some time.
Videos published on social media showed the 38-year-old sportsman, who was also previously rumoured to be getting close to Shakira, in a designer shirt and baseball cap in front of 25-year-old Juliana.
Local reports said Hamilton had been surrounded by bodyguards but seemed happy and greeted well-wishers with a broad smile.

Juliana, who made an appearance at the Miami Grand Prix paddock in May where Hamilton was competing, set tongues wagging in a partly-see-through black dress.
The Brazilian beauty was first described as Lewis’ “new girlfriend” at the start of the year when F1 fans claimed she was the woman pictured next to him as he relaxed in a hot-tub in the Antarctic with former Olympic snowboarder Shaun White.
Only part of the top half of her body including her arm was visible in the snap Shaun posted on social media, but it was enough to get Hamilton’s followers identifying the mystery female as Kanye West’s ex.
Speaking about White and Hamilton, one person said: “Of course he’s on the same boat. Check Shaun White’s Insta, they’re in the hot tub and a girl (Juliana Nalu?) in Lewis’ arms.”
