      Shakira spotted at F1 Spanish Grand Prix as rumours swirl over relationship with Lewis Hamilton after split from Pique

      by

      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.

      Max Verstappen WINS Spanish GP as Lewis Hamilton comes second in new Mercedes car in promising sign

      by

      MERCEDES enjoyed their best result of the season to give some hope of breaking Max Verstappen’s F1 stranglehold.The Red Bull man romped to his fifth win in the opening seven races – with all of this season’s grands prix being won by the Milton-Keynes based team.

      But there is renewed optimism that the Silver Arrows’ revised car design can help deliver them a much needed boost in the form of a victory.
      While Verstappen was comfortably quickest here in Barcelona, Lewis Hamilton was second and George Russell was third.
      Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez was fourth, despite having started in 11th place, one spot ahead of Russell, who had clashed with Hamilton during qualifying.
      Verstappen got a good start as did Hamilton, who moved up a place when he passed Lando Norris into the first corner.

      But as they squeezed into Turn Two, Norris went into the back of Hamilton’s Mercedes causing damage to his own car.
      Norris was forced to pit while the contact shuffled Hamilton out of place and allowed Lance Stroll to move into third place.
      The kerfuffle behind him was of no interest to Verstappen, who had opened up a two-second lead after only four laps.
      Despite his first-lap set back, Hamilton pulled back into third place as he went around Stroll into turn one on lap eight.

      Russell was also making in-roads and he passed Esteban Ocon to move into fifth on lap 11.
      Early pitstops for Carlos Sainz and Stroll moved Hamilton and Russell into second and third place respectively.
      Hamilton made his pitstop at the end of lap 24 while Russell made his stop a lap later.
      Verstappen was the second to last driver to pit on lap 27, but he had built up such an advantage that when he returned to the track, he was still leading the race.
      Hamilton powered his way into second with a straight-forward overtake on Sainz into Turn One on lap 35.
      And it was not long before Russell was back into third place when he passed the Spaniard who was beginning to drop like a stone.
      It was encouraging for the Mercedes duo, although Hamilton was still 16 seconds adrift of runaway leader Verstappen while Russell was a further 10 seconds behind.
      Mercedes pitted both drivers for fresh tyres leaving them free to hunt down Verstappen, who was on the hard tyre.
      But the Red Bull man had such a lead he was again able to make his own pitstop to preserve his lead.
      In the final few laps, he came close to earning a five-second time penalty for running wide and exceeding track limits.

      Despite warnings from his race engineer to slow down and avoid a penalty, he ignored the instructions to set the fastest lap to earn the bonus point.
      He then coasted home to a comfortable 24 second lead over Hamilton and opened up a whopping 53 point lead in the championship over Perez.

      Inside abandoned F1 track left frozen in time with old sponsors still lining road despite last race being 57 YEARS AGO

      by

      AN ABANDONED F1 track has been frozen in time almost six decades on from its last race.And the evidence of its existence still hangs over the grandstands in a spooky nod to a bygone era.

      The long road and former pit building has since been partially restoredCredit: Alamy
      The circuit was used in F1 from 1950 to 1966Credit: Getty
      The faded and torn sponsorship signs have remained painted along the public road since the last GP was held there in 1966.
      Jack Brabham won the 1966 race – in a car created by himself and bearing his name ‘Brabham-Repco’ – during his dominant period in F1.
      But despite the popularity of the track, F1 bosses decided to relocate the French GP the following year due to high costs.
      The track in question is…the Reims-Gueux circuit in the Champagne region of France.
      READ MORE ON SPORT
      The circuit was 7.8 km in length and made up of secondary roads and a section of the N 31.
      While its long straights were shorter than Le Mans’ famous Mulsanne, it became a regular venue for high speed slip streaming battles.
      After 1966, the track was used for national races until 1972 when the local mayor ordered the demolition of the buildings to start.
      Most of the circuit returned to public roads and the old pit-buildings slowly started to crumble.

      But a decade later, a group of enthusiasts restored the buildings directly around the start line.
      The largely abandoned venue has since been used in photoshoots and can be driven past and enjoyed today.
      Since 2002 the foundation “Amis du Circuit de Gueux” (Friends of the Reims-Gueux Circuit) has worked on restoring the structures and obtained a guarantee that nothing would be demolished in the future.

      Norris, 23, currently sits 11th in the driver standings but will be hoping to climb up the rankings in today’s Spanish Grand Prix.
      His best ever finish in a F1 campaign came in 2021 when he finished sixth and he has been on the podium on six occasions but is still waiting for his first win.
      Away from the track, the pedal-to-the-metal speedster has been rumoured to be dating footballer Joao Felix’s ex.
      The forward’s loan spell at Chelsea has coincided with confirmation he and stunning girlfriend Margarida Corceiro are no longer together.
      Actress and model Margarida said they would remain friends in an emotional social media post but revealed they had put an end to their four-year romance “some time ago.”
      Norris recently said that he’s “got nothing to hide” after being snapped with the Portuguese beauty.
      The McLaren F1 ace was pictured driving around with Margarida, 20, in Monaco.
      He was quizzed by SunSport about the increased flak he’s copped on social media to which Norris replied: “I haven’t tried to hide anything when I’ve gone out to a restaurant. You are allowed to do whatever you want.
      “I know that so many presumptions are made just because I’m seen with someone, which I find hilarious.
      “If I wanted to hide something I feel I can hide it well — but I’m not trying to hide anything.

      “At the end of the day, if I wanted my life to be more private I would say yes [it is harder to avoid scrutiny] but I don’t want to just stay in my house all day and sit behind a computer.
      “But it seems I can’t have friends nowadays, can’t be seen with someone without somehow being in a relationship.”

      Watch Lewis Hamilton’s CRASH with Mercedes team-mate George Russell as he slams ‘that’s really dangerous’

      While Russell was eliminated from qualifying in the second session, Hamilton will start the Spanish GP in fifth place.
      But he was still half a second off the pace of pole-sitter Max Verstappen, who continued to blow away the rest of the field.
      The Dutchman’s pace was so superior he was comfortable to abort his final flying lap, despite looking like he would better his provisional pole.
      Hamilton and Russell’s flashpoint happened on the way down to Turn One with Russell driving into his team-mate.
      Read More on Lewis Hamilton
      The contact broke off a piece of Hamilton’s front wing and will no doubt spark off an internal investigation.
      But this was a routine pole for the championship leader, who looks untouchable.
      Verstappen said: “The car was really good. It was initially tricky with the weather but it started to dry out and the car was on rails.”
      Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz will start in second place with McLaren’s Lando Norris qualifying in third place, his best starting position of the season.

      There were early spins for Valtteri Bottas and Alex Albon as the drivers initially struggled with the damp track on slick tyres.
      The FIA took no chances to stop the session when Albon went off, sending stones scattering all over the track.
      But that was not an excuse for another woeful performance from Ferrari, who saw Charles Leclerc qualify down in second-to-last place.
      While he initially complained of problems with his car’s set up, Leclerc was then held up at the weighbridge and ultimately ran out of time to set a quick lap time on the drying track.
