Lewis Hamilton opens up about 'complicated' love life
'Yes, it's very complicated, especially in today's world," Hamilton explains. 'I see other drivers and I wonder how they manage it. Some have children, are married, have girlfriends.
The seven-time Formula One champion has been romantically linked to Nicole Scherzinger, Rihanna, Sofia Richie-Grainge, and more.
'I went through that when I was in my twenties. I've made a different choice: I've decided to maximise the time I have here because it's shorter than you think," he continued.'I don't want to have any regrets, or think that I could have given more.'
As of now, Hamilton wants to focus on making the most of his career, and he is doing just that. He made history in 2007 as the first and is currently the only Black driver in F1, and is working to promote diversity in the sport. He also holds the record for the most Grand Prix wins with 105. Hamilton shared with the publication that when he decides to retire, he will most likely have more time to focus on other aspects of his life.
'Over the last ten years, I've concentrated on my performance. And when I retire, I'll be able to do what I want," he said. 'I'll be able to devote myself to other things without constraints."
Hamilton continued: "As long as I'm competing, I'm concentrating on my health, my well-being, my mental health, and my driving technique."
'I want to be the best engineer I can be and the best teammate too," he concluded. "That's my main objective: I want to win.'
Who has Lewis Hamilton been romantically linked to?
Hamilton's longest public relationship was with singer and actress Nicole Scherzinger from 2007-2015. Since then, he's been romantically linked to Gigi Hadid, Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Rita Ora, but those relationships were never confirmed by either party. Between 2016 and 2017, Hamilton was seen on various occasions with supermodel Winnie Harlow, but they never confirmed their romance either. He's also been linked to Nicki Minaj, Sofia Richie-Grainge, and Shakira, but just like the others, a relationship was never confirmed by Hamilton or the ladies.
This year, romance rumors began to swirl between him and Grammy-nominated singer RAYE after the singer posted a photo of them embracing in an Instagram photo dump. It is solidified if they have a romance.
Lewis Hamilton wants to win the title with Ferrari
While Hamilton's love life is seemingly on pause until further notice, the race car driver is focusing on fulfilling his dream with Ferrari.
'My dream is to win a title with Ferrari. It's been a long time since that happened," Hamilton says, as the last time Ferrari won the Formula 1 World Championship was back in 2007 with Kimi Räikkönen.
'Ferrari has all the ingredients to win, you just have to put it all together," he added. "That's what I'm trying to do behind the scenes with Fred Vasseur and the team.'

JP Saxe's North American tour cancelled over low ticket sales despite online appeal
TORONTO — A Toronto singer-songwriter who was set to tour North America this fall says he's cancelled his series of concerts over sluggish ticket sales and the high cost of life on the road. JP Saxe took to social media this week, saying that if he didn't sell about 20,000 tickets to his upcoming Make Yourself at Home tour within 48 hours, it would likely be cancelled. In a follow-up video, he says 2,000 more tickets were sold, but it wasn't enough to save the tour. Saxe says he's grateful for the extra sales, that tickets will be fully refunded and he's looking to make sure similar cancellations never happen again. The Grammy-nominated musician, best known for his 2019 single "If the World Was Ending" with Julia Michaels, was set to play more than 25 dates, including Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver. The cancellation comes as live music faces mass pressure, compounded by a shaky economy, years of inflation and concert ticket prices that — in many cases — have skyrocketed by hundreds of dollars this year. "Those 2,000 tickets were a reminder ... of how wonderful it can be to ask for help and watch a community come together, and this really was the nicest the internet has ever been to me," he said in a video posted to social media platform TikTok. "I'm grateful to each one of you who bought a ticket, and I'm really sorry." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025. The Canadian Press Sign in to access your portfolio
