Lewis Hamilton was overjoyed Nicole Scherzinger was able to share his Grand Pix success over the weekend.

The Formula One ace won his second World Championship in Abu Dhabi on Sunday and he admitted it was “so special” to have his girlfriend there to watch him.

He told The Sun: “It’s not been easy – she lives in LA, I live in Monaco and I’m travelling a lot for work.

“So obviously this makes it hard for us. But having Nicole there at the weekend was special.

“People could see the depth of our relationship and the sheer joy we share together.”

The couple – who have been together for seven years, although they briefly split and reconciled a few times between 2011 and 2014 – are stronger than ever but Lewis has played down speculation of wedding bells or babies with the singer.

The star admitted their careers made it difficult to plan a family because both of them have to be away a lot for work.

He said: “It’s not something we’re thinking about currently. She’s about to start Cats and I’m just enjoying the emotion and experience of winning this championship but that’s something that will happen naturally.

“The travelling thing is definitely hard. I wouldn’t want to take my kid out of school, for example, every race. How do you juggle that?

“When I have kids I want to be there for them and enjoy that with them.”
