SIR LEWIS HAMILTON and Shakira were introduced thanks to the help of another Formula One driver.
The Brit’s rival is said to have a “very good relationship” with both Hamilton and the pop star.
Rumours suggest Sir Lewis and the Colombian superstar are dating after they were spotted enjoying a boat trip in Miami and having dinner with friends in Barcelona.
And Spanish sports journalist Pipi Estrada claims Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz set up his Mercedes rival with Shakira.

“There is a key thing in this relationship. Carlos Sainz knows Shakira and Carlos Sainz has a very good relationship with Hamilton.
“That’s where they’ve come together. That’s where this relationship is born, with Carlos Sainz.”
This comes after more speculation claiming Hamilton and Shakira are in a “love triangle”, which includes Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise.
That could potentially put Sir Lewis and Cuise’s 10-year bromance in jeopardy.
