Hamilton addresses rumors over dating relationship with Kim Kardashian

In recent weeks, there has been plenty of talk about a possible flirt between the seven-time world champion and the well-known American model and businesswoman, with the pair even spotted together at the Super Bowl on 8 February.

Addressing the rumours at the end of his first day on track in Bahrain, the Briton was keen not to reveal too much when responding to a question from GPblog: “I don’t comment on those sorts of things, private life.”

Asked whether he enjoyed the Super Bowl halftime show, which featured the renowned Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, Hamilton added: “It gave me goosebumps, it was really, really incredible if you're a music fan, and if you take a moment to understand all the small little bits of history that he included within the performance, so well thought out.

US President Donald Trump strongly criticised the performance by the Puerto Rican artist, branding it “one of the worst ever” and “absolutely terrible”.

Lewis Hamilton, however, went against Trump’s stance and instead hailing the show as “one of THE most important Super Bowl halftime shows in history.”
