As Mercedes took to social media to post pictures of famous celebrities that have supported the Silver Arrows during various races this season, a photo of Tom Cruise next to Shakira stood out.
Lewis Hamilton is reportedly in the 'early stages' of dating pop star Shakira. The pair have been seen together on multiple occasions this year, including a boat ride after the Miami Grand Prix and then again at dinner following Hamilton's podium in Barcelona.
