Nicole Scherzinger looked on in horror as boyfriend Lewis Hamilton was involved in a horror smash at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Hamilton crashed out of the Belgian Grand Prix just seconds in to the race after a pile-up at the course's la Source hairpin bend.

The McLaren star's dreams of success came to an abrupt end when he became involved in a dramatic four-car pile-up on the very first corner of the track - but thankfully he walked away unscathed.

Thank goodness: The relief on the star's face was unmistakeable as Hamilton walked away from the wreckage of his vehicle to safety

The X Factor judge could only look on in horror as she watched her boyfriend's car propelled in to the air and smash into tiny fragments.

The fear in the eyes of the 34-year-old singer was unmistakeable as she looked on in disbelief from the safety of the stands.

Although initially visibly shaken, Nicole closed her eyes in relief as she watched the 27-year-old sportsman safely walk away from the wreckage of the vehicle.

Prior to the disastrous race - eventually won by Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Jenson Button - both Lewis and Nicole seemed to be in good spirts, posting pictures of themselves together on their respective Twitter pages.

The former Pussycat Dolls singer said: 'In Belgium for the Grand Prix to support my man @LewisHamilton for his race this wkend:).'

And Nicole was on hand to guide her man in the wake of the dramatic crash.

Following the incident, she tweeted: 'We love and support you to the end babe...@LewisHamilton.'

Meanwhile, the Formula One star's mood was more reflective as he looked forward to the next Grand Prix in Monza, Italy.

The dramatic crash occurred when the drivers made their way around the tight La Source hairpin just seconds into the race.

Squeezed by Romain Grosjean, Hamilton was left with nowhere to go, and as their wheels touched Grosjean was launched off the back of Sebastian Perez’s Sauber before coming crashing down on the nose of Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari.

Lotus driver Grosjean was later handed a one-race ban and a £40,000 fine for his involvement in the horror smash.

Asked directly who was to blame, Lewis later said: 'It doesn’t really matter, what happened is in the past, we have to move forward. Tomorrow is a new day and I just look forward to the future.

'I look forward to getting home and putting this race behind us. In fact the whole week has been a tough one.'

Hamilton currently stands in fifth position in the FIA Formula One World Championship rankings.

By Sarah Bull


My girlfriend is hot like you! Lewis Hamilton couldn't tear his eyes off girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger as the pair holidayed in Italy

During her time with the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger sang about men who wanted their girlfriend to be 'hot like me'.

So F1 racing driver can certainly be forgiven for looking entirely smitten with his gorgeous partner as the pair holidayed on the Italian Riviera over the weekend.

The 33-year-old singer showed off her incredible figure in a tiny bandeau two-piece as the two reclined on sunloungers poolside at their hotel.

Kisses and cuddles: The pair were very affectionate with each other in between enjoying their cocktails

And Lewis couldn't keep his eyes off his gorgeous girl, pulling her in for plenty of kisses in between enjoying cocktail.

The 27-year-old sportsman, dressed casually in a white top and striped swimming shorts, gazed adoringly at Nicole as she soaked up the sunshine, following her boyfriend's performance in the Monaco Grand Prix over the weekend.


Toned: Nicole, 31, looked incredibly in her bandeau metallic two-piece as she enjoyed the sunshine

I love you SO much! Lewis was seen gazing adoringly at his girlfriend as she stared into the distance

As well as enjoying the warm weather by the pool, the pair were later seen enjoying a romantic stroll around the grounds of their hotel.

Nicole, who had put on a white vest dress over her bikini, kept her arm around Lewis as the pair walked along.


I'll be done in a minute, dear: Lewis took a phone call at one point during the pair's relaxing afternoon

Puckering up: Nicole and Lewis appeared incredibly in love as they lounged poolside at their hotel

And at one point Lewis appeared to decide the location would make a perfect holiday snap, getting Nicole to pose up with a flower as he took a picture on his phone.

Later on the break, Nicole and Lewis decided to head out for a romantic evening meal.


Soaking up the sunshine: Nicole looked in great shape and appeared calm and relaxed on the break

You need a pedicure! Nicole at one point leaned forward to inspect her boyfriend's feet

Nicole changed into a cute floral dress, while Lewis wore a T-shirt and jeans, before popping along to a local restaurant.

In between courses at the eatery, Nicole and Lewis couldn't resist pulling each other in for even more kisses and cuddles.

After Lewis pushed Nicole's hair away from her face, the singer beamed delightedly at him before the couple enjoyed a romantic clinch.

Nicole and Lewis' relationship appears to be going from strength to strength after their split last year.


Touchy feely: At another point in the break, Lewis was seen giving Nicole a back massage as the pair sat on their balcony

Chill out time: The break in Italy came after Lewis' somewhat disappointing performance in the Monaco Grand Prix

The pair were spotted together again in February this year, after splitting last October.

'It's all very recent and it's hard for me to talk about it.'

You'd think the thigh-high leather boots may raise a smile! Lewis Hamilton cuts a glum figure on a date with Nicole Scherzinger

By Nadia Mendoza


Pensive: Nicole Scherzinger usually flashes a smile for photographers, but looked rather serious


The stress of on/off relationships might lend itself to premature wrinkles, but equally reliving the honeymoon stages again and again are a fair deal.

However, lovebirds Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton looked rather sombre last night.

The duo dined out at Chinese restaurant Hakkasan in Mayfair, but not even authentic cuisine - or his girlfriend's thigh high boots - could raise little more than a hint of a smile on the racing driver's face.


Nicole looked typically stylish and exceptionally groomed, with sleek Rapunzel locks so immaculate they appeared to be taken straight from the pages of a photoshopped magazine hair advert.

While the 33-year-old had applied plenty of blush for rose-tinted cheeks and created dramatic smokey eyes, it was blended cleverly so she didn't appear to be weighed down with stage make-up.

Affectionate: Despite the lack of smiles, the couple held hands

The former X Factor USA judge opted for a loose-fitting nude T-shirt dress, detailed with sheer bejeweled material and a gold band around the middle to create shape on the baggy garment.

She teased onlookers with an inch of flesh peeping out between the hemline and top of her boots.

Despite the slightly unceremonious dumping by Simon Cowell, Nicole still has plenty to smile about.

A fancy for leather: Nicole dons similar boots in Men In Black III alongside Jermaine Clement

The former Pussycat Doll has just finished her next album and is set to make her screen debut.

Last week, she tweeted: 'Just finished this record, can't wait for yall to hear it! Now on to the next...!!!'

Nicole will soon take centre stage in her first blockbuster film role, starring in Men in Black III.

But don't expect to see the Right There singer playing a damsel in distress, with Nicole taking on the role of feisty leather-clad baddie Lily Poison, an accomplice to leading man Boris (Jemaine Clement).


Hint of a smile? Lewis seems to soften his face as they leave Hakkasan in Mayfair

'I still love you Nicole': Lewis Hamilton hopes for reunion with Pussycat Doll Scherzinger

Formula One star and singer split up last month after four years together


By Nadia Gilani


Still in love: Lewis Hamilton flew to Los Angeles to attempt a reconciliation with Hawaiian born beauty Nicole Scherzinger


Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he still loves Nicole Scherzinger and still hopes they could get back together.

The Formula One star and the pop singer split up last month after four years together as the strain of barely seeing each other took its toll.

It is understood that Hamilton's failure to commit to starting a family further undermined their relationship and forced them apart.


The break-up resulted in Hamilton adopting a negative attitude and, combined with poor results and incidents on the track, the 26-year-old has cut a forlorn figure for a number of weeks.

That appeared to be underlined this week when pictures were published of what looked like a frosty reunion in a Los Angeles car park between him and US X-Factor judge Scherzinger.

But as he prepared for this Sunday's final race of the F1 season, the Brazilian Grand Prix, in Sao Paulo, he said that could not be further from the truth.

Sporting a long black set of rosary beads overlaid with white gold given to him by his ex as a present in LA, Hamilton said of the photographs: 'Well, they didn't catch us at the best of times.

'What you didn't see is that we had a really good week, a couple of really nice lunches together. We had a really nice dinner together.

'It's very early days and we still have very strong feelings for one another. I still love her very much.

'Amicable': The pair announced their split last month but Hamilton who has 'fond memories' hopes for a reconciliation


'So, who knows? Maybe we will be together in the future.'

Hamilton's trip to the United States also included a visit to New York in which he 'got to hang with Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz in the studio, which was really cool'.

Hamilton could now not be more upbeat ahead of the weekend, saying: 'I'm very much here in a positive frame of mind.

'I am very happy to be here, I've great memories of being here in the past.

'Actually she (Scherzinger) was here with me when I won the world championship (in 2008), so I've very good memories.

'But certainly it was a really positive few days which meant more to me than a race win, so I came away from LA feeling great and things are different, so that's cool.

'I've a lot of positive energy at the moment.'


Hopeful: Lewis is keen to give the relationship another go

Trying to hold on? Nicole Scherzinger embraces ex Lewis Hamilton in a warm hug as the F1 driver keeps a frosty distance

By Holly Thomas


The hand in his pocket said it all.

As Nicole Scherzinger leaned in to embrace her ex-boyfriend Lewis Hamilton with a warm hug, the F1 driver kept his distance, not reciprocating the gesture.

The tense encounter made a sorry sight in a Los Angeles car park.

Holding back: Nicole Scherzinger embraced ex Lewis Hamilton in an LA car park, but he didn't reciprocate the hug


It appeared that while Nicole was making an effort to break the palpable ice, Lewis was having none of it, and maintained a stand-offish demeanor.

The 26-year-old stared at the ground during most of their meeting.

Nicole's eyes tried to meet his gaze, but Lewis continued to look away, brushing off her anguished looks.

The couple — whose four year relationship ended last month — shared an awkward silence as they seemed caught at odds.

Awkward distance: Nicole looked anguished as Lewis avoided her eyes, staring instead at the ground


And when Lewis kept his hand in his pocket as Nicole attempted a reconciliatory hug the excruciating atmosphere became unbearable.

A dejected Lewis walked away past a shopping mall, Nicole's hurt eyes burning a hole in his back.

His mood was a total contrast to that of two weeks ago, when he triumphed at the season's penultimate F1 race in Abu Dhabi.

Lewis split with U.S. X Factor judge and former Pussycat Doll Nicole, in October after four years.

Reports said he wasn't ready to settle down and have children.
'I'm not ready for a family,' Hamilton is said to have told friends.

Keeping it professional: Nicole made no mention of the car park encounter with Lewis on her Twitter page, choosing instead to post this picture of herself on the cover of Shape magazine


A source told the Daily Mirror: 'Lewis decided they had to part. She wanted more than he could offer at this stage in his life.'

Back in 2009 Nicole told the paper: 'I am the happiest I have ever been. Lewis is such an amazing, humble and chivalrous guy. We would love to have beautiful angel babies together one day.'

Lewis spoke to the paper about the split but confirmed the pair are still friends.

He said: 'Yeah, we're friends at least and we can move forward. It's never easy going through tough times.

'It's these kind of times that are sent to try you, and it's about how you pull through them.

Staying private: Lewis was also reserved about the meeting on Twitter, posting instead this picture of himself at a Rebok shoot on the same day as his meeting with Nicole


Tellingly, both Nicole and Lewis have maintained a professional front over the last few days, making no public mention of their meeting.

Each has focused on their own business commitments, with Nicole tweeting a picture of Shape magazine- which she is currently on the cover of- and Lewis of himself on a Rebok shoot.

Nicole recently opened up to Shape about how she has learned to accept her body after years of doubt over her appearance.

'I started jogging and counting calories when I was just 14. I've been on every diet you can imagine,' she admitted.

Happier times: Nicole and Lewis couldn't keep their hands off one another during a romantic holiday in Paris in 2008


'By the time I was in the Pussycat Dolls, I was on the scale all the time. It became my enemy because I noticed that when I exercised really hard, I'd gain weight.'

Still very slender, Nicole has nevertheless learned to go a little easier on herself nowadays.

'Now that I'm in my 30s, I've stepped off the scale - I just go by how my clothes fit,' she said.

'I'm more accepting of my body and have learned to really embrace it. It's all about finding balance,' she continued.

'My new motto is: "Stay active, eat everything in moderation, and stop being so tough on myself".'

By BEN TODD

'Amicable': Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger have ended their relationship after four years together

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger have split up.

The 26-year-old F1 racing driver - who is seven years younger than his erstwhile girlfriend -decided to call time on their relationship because their conflicting work schedules meant they were seeing less and less of each other.

The sportsman and Miss Scherzinger - who rose to fame as part of the Pussycat Dolls pop group - had been dating for four years.


Conflicting schedules: While Nicole is a judge on X Factor USA, driver Lewis races for McLaren

A friend said: ‘They are still very good friends and it was an amicable split, but they just decided it was impossible to keep the relationship going with such conflicting work schedules.’

The Hawaiian-born singer is part of the judging panel on X Factor USA, alongside Simon Cowell.

As a result, she is based in Los Angeles, California.

Hamilton, meanwhile, travels all over the world as one of the leading drivers in F1.
Yesterday, he was at an event for his driving team Mclaren.


Happier times: The pair were said to have got engaged earlier this year

source told how he was in ‘good spirits’ at the event.

The couple started dating in 2007 after meeting at the European Music Awards in Munich.

Miss Scherzinger, 33, was by his side as he was crowned world champion in Brazil in November 2008.

But they spent increasing amounts of time apart due to their busy careers.
Hamilton is based in Switzerland while Miss Scherzinger lives in Los Angeles.


Single: Nicole was last pictured arriving at Los Angeles International airport on October 14 after flying in from New York

By Jessica Satherley


Lady in red: Nicole Scherzinger matched her red belted dress with her lollipop at the Chateau Nightclub in Las Vegas


She’s been jet-setting around the world from London to Las Vegas, so it’s no surprise Nicole Scherzinger needed a sugar-kick to boost her energy levels.

The singer and X Factor USA judge was spotted sucking on a red lollipop, which matched her belted leather dress, while in Sin City.

She was walking the red carpet at the Chateau Nightclub and Gardens at Paris Hotel and Casino, where she posed provocatively with the sweet snack.


The 33-year-old made the whirlwind trip to Nevada after having flown into London from Los Angeles on Monday for a few days to promote her latest UK single Wet.

And she tweeted last night: ‘Who’s coming out 2 party w/me #Vegas @Chataulv? Gna start #LDW right this Friday night!’

She later updated her followers again by tweeting: ‘And I haven’t forgotten abt my UK fans! I’ll be back in London 2 perform at the opening of Westfield Stratford City on Sept 13!’

Strike a pose: The former Pussycat Doll posed on the red carpet as she pretended to taste the lollipop

Sugar rush: Miss Scherzinger boosted her energy levels in the club with the sugary snack


Meanwhile, Nicole’s British boyfriend Lewis Hamilton was still in London and was at the ITV studios to film a guest appearance on the Jonathan Ross show yesterday.

The 26-year-old Formula One racing driver looked chic in a grey suit as he arrived at the studios.

And he tweeted afterwards: ‘Congrats 2 @wossy for a great first show.

'Amazing to be on with such talented people @OfficialAdele and Sarah Jessica Parker.’

Despite Lewis and Nicole constantly looking happy in love when they’re pictured together, the driver has insisted that they’re not engaged.

Boogie down: The X Factor USA judge had a dance in-between posing on the red carpet

The sugar factory: Nicole posed with rapper Nelly, who joined her in the Sugar Factory to pick up the lollipops


He recently told a German magazine: ‘Nicole was incredibly upset when the newspapers claimed we were engaged.

‘No we are not engaged and there will be no wedding in the foreseeable future’, the Daily Mirror reported.

Also in Vegas with Nicole was rapper Nelly, who picked up his own lollipop from the Sugar Factory at the Paris Hotel.

The Country Grammar star, 36, was far more casually dressed than the former Pussycat Doll though and arrived in trainers and a baseball cap.
