WHEN you live life in the fast lane, you tend to attract the world’s most glamorous women.
Over the years, Lewis Hamilton has transcended F1 and found himself on the showbiz circuit thanks to a slew of high-profile relationships.
The 36-year-old, believed to be worth over £230m, has dated supermodels and pop stars – but without properly settling down.
Today, he’s even more desirable and could clinch a record eighth World Championship if he finishes ahead of rival Max Verstappen at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Here’s a rundown of the beauties Lewis has had on his arm.
DANIELLE LLOYD
When Lewis was a teenage driver, he dated Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lloyd in 2002.
They met at celebrity haunt 10 Rooms, and had a steamy six month romance that fizzled out because of the long-distance between the pair.
The two remained friends, and he was there to see her crowned Miss England in 2004.
She has also cheered Lewis on at Silverstone in recent years.
JODIE MA
Lewis was allegedly dating Jodie Ma, the daughter of disgraced Hong Kong businessman Ma Bo-kee, at the same time he romanced Lloyd.
Jodie and Lewis reportedly met at the Cambridge School of Arts, and dated for four years.
However, their romance came to an end in 2007, but they reportedly stayed friends after.
“The only problem with my job is that I don’t get to see her enough,” Lewis once said of Jodie. “She’s my best friend and we speak everyday.”
LOTTA HINTSA
Because of his field, it makes sense that Lewis would be linked to the the daughter of McLaren’s former doctor Aki Hintsa.
It also wasn’t any harm that she is a former Miss Finland, and drop-dead gorgeous.
The pair were often seen hanging out together, and reports suggested they were an item.
However, Lotta denied the claims and said they were just good friends.
VIVIAN BURKHARDT
The Miss World beauty had a quick fling with the racing driver before she was reportedly dumped for Nicole Scherzinger in 2008.
Burkhardt claimed that Lewis invited her to his tax-haven home in Switzerland before whisking her off to the Cannes Film Festival to show off his conquest on the red carpet.
Then, just weeks later, he was spied with the Pussycat Dolls beauty on his arm, which left the Grenadian stunner devastated.
NICOLE SCHERZINGER
Perhaps the love of his life, or the one that got away, Lewis and Nicole were on and off for seven years before they split again in 2016.
It was love at first sight for the pair when they at the MTV VMA’s, but the F1 champ admitted that his car collection always came first.
“My cars are my babies,” he revealed.
“I used to say, when I had a girlfriend, ‘I’m taking one of the girls out, so you can come if you want, but you come second when it comes to the cars.”
RIHANNA
In 2015, Lewis and the Umbrella singer became inseparable, and they were spotted flirting up a storm in Barbados and then New York.
Again, he played the friends card. “You know, I’ve known Ri for a long time,” he told E!
“We’ve been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again…”
But rumours swirled that the pair wanted to take their friendship to the next level, before Rihanna decided she didn’t want to tie herself down, according to reports.
RITA ORA
Post Scherzinger, Lewis seemed to have a thing for pop stars.
The Ritual singer was said to be infatuated with Lewis back in 2016, and they were seen working in a music studio together in 2017.
And on the weekend of his 31st birthday, Ora was spotted cheering him on at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The pair never confirmed their relationship, but appeared to enjoy spending time together.
BARBARA PALVIN
The Hungarian model and Victoria’s Secret Angel was first seen partying with Lewis after the Monaco Grand Prix in 2017.
Then a year later Hamilton uploaded a video of the two walking down a corridor on Instagram in Budapest that fueled rumours they were an item.
They even went for a romantic sushi dinner, as they looked to be getting on like a house on fire.
Palvin was also linked with Neymar, until she finally settled down with US actor Dylan Sprouse.
WINNIE HARLOW
The supermodel, who suffers from skin condition vitiligo, was spied getting cosy with Hamilton in 2016 at the GQ Awards in London.
Canadian stunner Winnie and Lewis then stepped out together at the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York in 2018.
Again, Lewis has said they’re friends – but the flirting in public said otherwise, according to reports.
SOFIA RICHIE
The daughter of ‘All Night Long’ crooner Lionel Richie, Sofia and Lewis started dating after she had a fling with his mate Justin Bieber.
In 2017, the pair were always pictured together – with the 14-year age gap seemingly not causing any issues.
And they even shared a penchant for fashion, when they attended Paris Fashion Week that same year.
But she moved on and now dates Scott Disick – best known for his relationship with Kourtney Kardashian.
NICKI MINAJ
Minaj and Hamilton kept us all guessing about their relationship status.
Are they friends? Were they more? The pop princess and the boy racer were first seen in 2016 at an Alexander Wang fashion show.
Then, they stepped out together at the TommyXLewis Launch Party in New York in 2018 and were reportedly holding hands.
Days later they were spotted in the same hotel in Dubai, and shared a quad bike ride soon after that.
VERONICA VALLE
Glamour model Valle kicked up a fuss in 2018 when she claimed Hamilton was obsessed with threesomes and hated people using his toilet.
She also alleged that Hamilton was harsh on her about her weight, and tore into ex Scherzinger.
“Lewis is such a strange character,” she told The Sun On Sunday.
“He’s Jekyll and Hyde. He can switch moods very quickly and sometimes that would come about just because somebody used the wrong toilet.”
ZAHRA ELISE
In 2019, Hamilton was linked to bikini model Zahra Elise – and the pair were seen together at Los Angeles petrol station.

And they looked super close – with Hamilton’s hand placed on Zahra’s neck as she ran her hands through her hair.
But again, reports have suggested the pair are in the friends’ zone before anything else happens yet.
Hamilton certainly is a ladies’ desire.
JASMINE SANDERS
During the 2019 F1 season, Hamilton was romantically linked to Jasmine.
He was a guest at Paris Fashion Week, when he was spotted grabbing dinner with the American model.
But Hamilton hit back at reports that he was dating her.
“It’s a sad world when a man cannot have female colleagues or friends without the media making it seem something it isn’t,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram.
VIKTORIA ODINTCOVA
Russian model Viktoria confirmed she and Lewis were an item at one point, when he was single.
“We had different types of relationship,” the 26-year-old told RT.
“At a certain period of time it was romantic. He was courting me. But then this relationship evolved into friendship.
“I live in Russia and he lives abroad, we just became friends who can message each other and send holiday greetings.”
CINDY KIMBERLY
Spanish model and ex-Justin Bieber girlfriend Cindy was a reported love interest in 2019.
She was seen out and about in Barcelona with Lewis back in 2019, but she later revealed her cats and mum were her priority.
She told Europa Press: “For now we are friends, I do not rule out anyone in general.
“All friendships are open to love, my heart is 70 per cent occupied.
“It is due to my cats and my mother.”
FLORENCE MUELLER
Mueller, who is a dead-ringer for Hamilton’s ex-girlfriend Scherzinger, appeared on the scene in 2020.
She enjoyed a yacht trip with the F1 champ in Corsica in late 2020, with cameras capturing the pair on board.
However, sources close to Mueller insisted they weren’t a couple.
An insider said: “Lewis and Florence aren’t dating, they’re just good mates.
“She joined him on the boat as part of a group of pals with Lewis.
“They get on but there’s nothing romantic going on between them at the moment.”
CAMILA KENDRA
Back in August, Hamilton was linked to model and social media influencer, Camila.
She sparked rumours the pair were more than friends by sharing a picture taken in his home wearing his shirt in an Instagram post.
The Dominican Republic stunner was previously in a relationship with Tyler Cameron, a reality TV star off US show The Bachelor.
Kendra has recently been linked to Chelsea star Ben Chilwell.
JANET GUZMAN
Most recently, OnlyFans star Guzman was subject of romance rumours with Lewis.
The model boasts over 1.9 million followers on Instagram, as well as around 43,000 likes on OnlyFans.
They met at the Met Gala this year, and reportedly she went with him to his hotel room.
However, a spokesperson shot down their alleged tryst.
“While we don’t formally comment on Lewis’s personal life, Janet and Lewis are just friends and she was part of a larger group that went to the hotel for a few drinks after the Met,” they said.
