Lewis Hamilton and Ana de Armas spark romance speculation at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Ferrari star Lewis Hamilton and Hollywood actress Ana de Armas have set tongues wagging after their cosy encounter in the Ferrari garage at Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix sent fans into a frenzy, reports BritPanorama.
The pair were seen sharing what many described as flirty moments during the season finale at Yas Marina Circuit, with one viral photograph capturing the British racing legend gently touching the actress’s arm while smiling at her.
Social media users quickly ignited speculation about a potential romance between the two stars. One user commented on X, “Omg did someone say sparks?! can’t believe I just saw that pic of Lewis and Ana, are they the new power couple?!”
Hamilton, 40, played tour guide for the Cuban-born star, 37, walking her through the Ferrari paddock and even allowing her to hold his steering wheel while demonstrating its functions, highlighting their easy chemistry that did not go unnoticed by eagle-eyed viewers.
Videos circulating online displayed the pair sharing laughter and moments of connection. A fan remarked, “I’ve never seen Hamilton fight for his life this much before, trying hard to remain composed.”
What adds to the intrigue of their encounter is Hamilton’s close friendship with Ana’s former partner, Tom Cruise. The two have bonded over shared interests, including a past proposition for Hamilton to join Cruise’s film Top Gun: Maverick.
Ana and Cruise ended their whirlwind nine-month romance in October, with sources indicating that the intensity of their relationship made her “uncomfortable,” leading her to take a step back.
Further complicating matters, Hamilton has remained guarded about his own romantic status, even as Ana is reportedly moving on with venture capitalist Marcelo Valente.
As the speculation unfolds, their playful exchange serves as a reminder of how celebrity encounters can quickly capture public imagination, illustrating the unpredictable nature of fame and personal relationships.
