CAREFREE Shakira enjoyed a singalong on the way to cheer on her rumoured boyfriend Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone yesterday.
The pop superstar, 46, appeared in high spirits as she lip-synced her new single in the back of a car with a female pal.
A social media filter added a mermaid’s tail and bubbles as they belted out the words to Copa Vacia – which means empty cup – on the way to the British Grand Prix.
Shakira appears as a shackled mermaid in the video for the single, her latest diss track taking aim at ex-partner Gerard Pique.
The fun Instagram video was captioned: “Siren alert! Mermaids on their way to F1!”
Later the Hips Don’t Lie songstress was pictured laughing with other guests and pit crew in the paddock at Silverstone.
