Hamilton fuels romance rumours with Australian model

Monaco, May 25: Reigning Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has done very little to squash rumours of a relationship with Australian model Gigi Hadid.

He was photographed with the 20-year-old at the Cinema Against AIDS gala for amfAR at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the French Riviera last week, reports sportsmole.co.uk.

Hamilton recently broke up with singer Nicole Scherzinger, ending their six-year-old relationship and at the weekend, ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, was pictured with his arms around Hadid in the Mercedes garage.

The Australian model, who only recently split from Cody Simpson, also posted a group photo with Hamilton wishing the Brit for the race. Unfortunately for Hamilton, her wishes did not bear fruit as he finished third behind winner Nico Rosberg and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel despite notching pole position.
