Raye can't contain her smile as she spends the day in the Ferrari garage at Silverstone Circuit amid Lewis Hamilton romance rumours
The singer, 27, couldn't contain her smile as she watched the drivers practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit.
She cut a casual figure in a beige T-shirt and blue jeans, while wearing glasses and red headphones.
Raye was joined in the garage by Maura Higgins, who showcased her impeccable style in a bold black vest and Prada sunglasses.
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc 's girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux was also spotted in the Silverstone paddock.
The influencer looked chic in a white co-ord by PrettyLittleThing while walking her adorable dog Leo through the grounds.
There was an encouraging start to the weekend for home hero Lewis, who posted the fastest time in first practice ahead of this weekend's British Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion has endured an inauspicious start to life at Ferrari since his high-profile departure from Mercedes at the end of last season.
The 40-year-old currently sits sixth in the drivers standings, 28 points behind team-mate Charles, who has outperformed him at all but one race - the Emilia Romana Grand Prix - in 2025.
Lewis' car found its groove in the first period of running for the weekend and the Brit posted a time of 1:26.892, ahead of McLaren pair Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who finished second and third-fastest respectively.
While Raye and Lewis have yet to confirm or deny their romance, an anonymous insider was the first to break the potential news on Lewis and Raye's relationship, telling Deuxmoi, 'Raye and Lewis Hamilton are dating. From friends to lovers.'
Raye previously attended the 2025 Melbourne Grand Prix, wearing Ferrari red and hanging out in their garage.
But the singer was quick to refer to the seven-time world champion driver as a 'friend' during a trackside interview.
Fans have been able to trace photos of the pair back to July 2023 when Raye first attended the Britsh Grand Prix, and since then they have been noticed hanging out around New York together.

The duo were also seen together at the 2024 Met Gala, and Lewis cheered Raye on after her BRIT awards win.
Lewis had famously been in an on-off relationship with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 until their final split in 2015.
The F1 star had met Scherzinger at the MTV EMAs in 2007 and were together for 20 months but split for the first time in January 2010, before later reconciling.
They then split again in late 2011, before giving their relationship another go in early 2012.
They called time on things once again in July 2013, which prompted Scherzinger to break down in tears during her time on the X Factor judging panel. By February 2014 things were back on, before their final separation the following year.
The reason for the final split had been put down to the pressures of a long-distance relationship, with Hamilton frequently travelling as part of the sprawling F1 circuit.
'I'm devastated that it didn't work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together,' Scherzinger said in 2015.
'We wish nothing but happiness and the very best for one another.'
Hamilton admitted he had learned from the high-profile nature of the relationship, and claimed in 2022 that he was 'happy on my own.'
'I learned the hard way, I learned the hard way,' Hamilton said. 'I haven't talked about it much. I'm really just super focused on work.'
Hamilton has largely tried to keep his personal life under wraps ever since, but he has been linked with several high-profile stars, including Shakira and Sofia Vergara.

Hothouse kid Jamie Smith starts as he goes on and changes Test in 20 minutes
It started in the worst possible way. By the second over of the day England were 84 for five, five hundred runs and a thousand miles behind. Their best batter, Joe Root had just been caught off the ninth ball of the morning, and their captain, Ben Stokes, who has worked so many miracles for them before, had been caught off the 10th, done by a wicked, lifting delivery, nasty, brutish and short, which brushed off his glove on its way through to the keeper. The bowler, Mohammad Siraj, was on a hat-trick, and here comes England's No 7, Jamie Smith, 24 years old, playing his 19th Test innings. The field was set, the slips were waiting, the crowd was up. There was, everyone watching felt sure, only one way the game was heading. The ball was a good one, on a length just outside off and moving in towards middle. Smith took a half-step forwards and, crack, thumped it back down the ground for four. Everyone else in this England team had to unlearn a lot of what they had been taught to begin to bat like this. But not Smith. He and Harry Brook are hothouse kids. Brendon McCullum is the only coach they have had in Test cricket and his way of playing is all they have known. Between the two of them, they turned this into one the great days of Test cricket. If you offered the 25,000 fans who were lucky enough to be inside the ground the chance to spend this July Friday anywhere else, you would have struggled to find one person among them who would not have turned you down flat and snapped their head back to the match. You can berate England, you can shake your head, puff out your cheeks and suck your teeth, but you surely can not take your eyes off them. Where any number of England sides before them would have tried to poke, prod and block their way towards the end of the innings, and the inevitable defeat lying beyond it, this one decided to crash, bang and wallop their way ahead instead. It was like watching Butch and Sundance come charging out of the building in the final reel. In the first innings in the first Test at Headingley, Smith had been caught on the boundary when he had scored 40, trying to hook a second consecutive six off a short ball from Prasidh Krishna. Time was when English cricket would not have forgiven a shot like that. Sign up to The Spin Subscribe to our cricket newsletter for our writers' thoughts on the biggest stories and a review of the week's action after newsletter promotion But Smith revealed that instead of giving him a 'smack on the wrist' all Brendon McCullum said was that he felt the shot had been the right choice because Smith was hitting with the wind. Which Smith said left him thinking he would do the same thing all over again the next time he found himself in a similar position. That happened sooner than Smith might have imagined. After he had been in for 20 minutes on Friday, Krishna hammered a short ball in at his ribs, which Smith whipped away for four. India already had two men back on the leg-side boundary, waiting for him to play it that way, and Shubman Gill decided to move a third back to join them. Krishna bowled a second short ball and Smith hit this one up and over the fielders for six. So Gill moved two more fielders over to the leg side. India now had six men there ready and waiting. Krishna bowled a third short ball and this time Smith whistled his pull shot away for four. So Krishna tried a fourth and Smith hit it the same way. Krishna pitched the sixth ball up full. So Smith hit it back past him for four more. The over went for 23 and counting from that first four onwards Smith took 35 off 13 balls Krishna bowled to him. The game changed in that 20-minute stretch. All of a sudden, England were up and running. Smith had raised his fifty one minute and overtaken Brook in the next and before you knew it he was closing in on Gilbert Jessop's record for the fastest Test century by an Englishman. He did not quite make it. His hundred came in the last over before lunch off the 80th delivery he had faced. When it was all over, at the far end of the day, England trailed by 180 and had 10 wickets left to get. The field was set, the slips were waiting, the crowd was up, there was, everyone watching felt sure, only one way the game was heading …

Liam Gallagher makes cheeky quip about THAT dynamic ticket pricing fiasco during Oasis' reunion tour opening night - after fans shelled out hundreds to attend
Liam Gallagher made a very cheeky remark to the crowds at Cardiff's Principality Stadium over the dynamic ticket pricing furore which caused outrage last summer. Tens of thousands of fans descended upon the Welsh capital on Friday to watch Liam and Noel Gallagher at last reunite, 16 years after a feud in Paris tore Oasis apart. Rumours began to swirl about a possible reunion last summer, with the Oasis Live '25 tour being announced a short time later, leaving scores of supporters in a frenzy. But when tickets were at last released, fans were left appalled as £148 standard prices sky-rocketed to more than £350, with many unable to secure a seat at one of the gigs. The ordeal in fact caused such controversy that it prompted a UK watchdog to investigate the use of dynamic ticket pricing. And taking to the stage on Friday evening, Liam - who has previously taunted fans over the fiasco - once again joked with the 75,000 supporters who had flocked to see him and his brother. Taking time away from the set list, the 52-year-old asked: 'You're having a good time, yeah?' Before cheekily adding: 'Is it worth the £40,000 you paid for the ticket?' Liam had previously hit back at criticism over the dynamic pricing scandal during a rant on X last year. The rock n roll star told a supporter to 'SHUTUP' in a comment after the fan quipped: 'Didn't expect them to rip fans off as much as they have done. It's genuinely a shame.' When asked whether he had any spare tickets, Liam hit back: 'S*** loads but there really expensive 100 thousand pounds Kneeling only.' After thousands of supporters were left without a ticket, Oasis later added dates to the tour due to high demand. And once again, with the beginning of the reunion just weeks away, the band also offered tickets to loyal members of their official supporters club via exclusive emails. Anticipation in the Welsh capital had been building all week ahead of Friday evening's 'momentous' return of one of the iconic British bands. Cardiff's streets were lined with Oasis supporters from all corners of the continent counting down the minutes to Liam and Noel's arrival. And the big moment came shortly after 8pm, with the Manchester-born brothers waltzing onto stage arm-in-arm sending the crowd wild. Liam and Noel stopped to gaze at the supporters who had waited years for the moment, holding hands in a moment which seemingly proved they've put their differences aside. 'Manchester vibes in the arena', Liam announced with his iconic maracas in-hand before beginning the set with Hello, singing the apt lyrics: 'It's good to be back.' Continuing with some of their biggest hits, Oasis then went into Acquiesce before transitioning into the fan-favourite 1995 tune Morning Glory. 'Yes beautiful people! It's been too long,' Liam announced. He then ordered the crowd to 'turn around and bounce' ahead of Cigarettes and Alcohol. Later, Noel appeared emotional as he performed Half The World Away and even stopped singing for a few bars at one point. They closed the show with their smash hits Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova as the crowds descended into tears over the incredible show. There was also a heartwarming moment as the band paid to tribute to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a car accident earlier this week. While belting out the lyrics of the iconic Live Forever, a photo displayed on the big screen of the much-loved Portuguese star wearing his number 20 Liverpool shirt. Jota died at the age of just 28 along with his brother Andre Silva. Diogo had celebrated his wedding days earlier. The evening brought a host of celebrities to the Welsh capital for what has been described as a 'momentous' occasion. Danny Dyer was pictured bounding through the streets of the city along with a pal shortly after 7pm, while Gavin and Stacey star Rob Brydon was seen taking in the atmosphere with his family. Vernon Kay was also in attendance, though his wife Tess Daly was nowhere to be seen. Before Oasis took to the stage, Richard Ashcroft was their support for the night, telling the crowd: 'So glad to be here with the greatest rock 'n' roll band. When I heard Oasis were reforming I thought I was in it!' Richard's former band The Verve toured with Oasis back in the early days, and Noel was spotted in the crowd ahead of his own performance to catch some of Richard's set. Noel's ex-wife Meg Mathews and daughter Anais were in the crowd to support him. A source told The Mirror: 'After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Mathews had a prime seat for watching the band. 'She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals.' Liverpudlian indie rock band Cast also paid an emotional tribute to Diogo Jota as they kicked off the Cardiff show. Frontman John Power also took a moment to pay tribute Diogo as he dedicated their song Walkaway to the star after his death. In an emotional moment, he said: 'This is Walkaway. This one is for Diogo Jota. Take it easy brother.' The Portuguese international and his brother were driving a Lamborghini Huracan when a tyre blew out while overtaking another vehicle on the A-52 at Cernadilla near Zamora - just ten miles over the border from Portugal. The £180,000 car is said to have rolled and burst into flames, with emergency services unable to save the footballing duo. No other vehicles were involved, police have said. The siblings were heading to Santander to catch a ferry to Britain after Diogo was advised not to fly following lung surgery, it was reported in his home country. Jota's untimely death sent shockwaves through the footballing world and fans have gathered in their hundreds to lay and pay tribute to the 28-year-old. The tragedy came just days after Jota married his new wife Rute Cardoso - who he shares three young children with - on June 22. After 15 years, Liam and Noel finally reunite for 41 shows across Europe and the 900,000 fans who have eagerly snapped up tickets will not be disappointed with the set list which is crammed with the nineties band's classics. The streets of Cardiff were 'electric' ahead Oasis's opening night with Wonderwall blasting from work vans while superfans are queuing up to purchase bucket hats and T-shirts.
