    And she hit the town again in the UK capital, looking stunning in a see-through bodysuit as she partied into the early hours on the eve of the Silverstone GP.
    Shakira and Lewis have been spotted enjoying a series of cosy outings together in the wake of her messy split from footballer ex Pique.

    In May, Shakira also watched Hamilton race in Miami – her new home town since moving to the US earlier this year.
    The British speed ace was pictured speaking to her at a restaurant in the city, sparking a frenzy of speculation.
    Days later Lewis picked her up from the back of her £12million beach mansion at the start of a cosy boat trip together.
    According to PEOPLE, the celebrity pair are understood to be keeping things “fun and flirty”.
    Other sources insist the F1 star and the Colombian singer are just “good friends”.
    Shakira’s repeated rendezvous with Lewis also sparked rumours of an awkward “love triangle” with movie star Tom Cruise – who was also pictured with her at the Miami Grand Prix.
    Spanish media reported the Mission Impossible star, 60, was “absolutely mesmerised” by her.
    Tom felt there was “chemistry” between them and sent her flowers after the meeting, an insider told Page Six 
    Shakira reportedly shot down his advances and begged the actor to leave her alone and stop flirting with her.
    And Tom’s ego was said to be have “dented” by his “great friend” Hamilton’s approach.

    However the global Latin pop superstar is reportedly “focused on her family” rather than dating.
    She has two sons, Milan, ten, and Sasha, eight, with Barcelona legend Pique.

    Footballers always use this secret coded message when they want to flirt on Instagram, says stunning influencer

    Footballers will typically delete the flame emoji comment when they’re not approached for a chat, Reitx claimsCredit: https://www.instagram.com/raquelreitx/
    And she assumes it is something the footy stars have agreed upon.
    Reitx told El Podcast de Druni: “I reckon that in the dressing rooms they have openly agreed how to do it.
    “They all do the same thing. They send a ‘fire’ emoji, but they don’t react to the story.
    “They send it. If you don’t answer them, they delete it. Always the same.”

    She added that she believes there are a couple of reasons for the tactic.

    One would be that footballers don’t need to work too hard to get a response due to their celebrity status.
    And the other is that the fire emoji can be interpreted in a number of different ways and doesn’t necessarily give away their intentions.
    But Reitx says that she herself has never been with a footballer, and that she finds these attempts to chat on social media “uninteresting”.

    She commented: “I have never been one to get with people from social networks.
    “In fact, those who I’ve been with, I’ve met them before in person than on networks.
    “I’m not good at it. In addition, it is difficult for me to answer on WhatsApp, how difficult is it going to be for me to respond to direct messages.
    “I have never had anything with a footballer. They don’t attract my attention.
    “Especially with these uninteresting attempts to get women to talk to them. Not for me.”
