Lewis Hamilton gushes over Raye at the F1 British Grand Prix amid romance rumours - after he couldn't keep his eyes of her during her performance
As speculation continues to swirl around their relationship, the racing driver, 40, did nothing to quell the gossip as he spoke kindly about the singer, 27, after she entertained the crowds with a performance at the event.
Hamilton told the crowd on the main stage at Silverstone following qualifying: 'Raye is the first concert I've been to after a race and she was great.
'She was the first concert I've been to at Silverstone actually so it was great to see her wasn't it.
'It's so great that acts can come here now. When I was watching last night I was like it's incredible to perform here the crowd were great.'
A source exclusively told MailOnline of him watching the show: 'I saw Lewis side of stage last night and it was loving Raye, I was shocked to see him there with qualifying coming up but he staying for the whole set and really showed his support to her.
'Today the British crowd went crazy when Lewis came out and when he bought up Raye there were loads of cheers.'
Lewis was seen excitedly watching from the sidelines as Raye took to the stage.
She looked sensational in a figure-hugging red leather gown, with Lewis barely able to take his eyes off her as he enjoyed the show.
The sportsman attempted to keep a low profile as the gig as he stood back in the shadows behind Raye's supporters at the side of the stage.
A source added of Lewis' appearance: 'He literally didn't leave side of stage the entire time and he was in Raye's personal side and was loving it.
'I was very shocked how long he stayed, he was clearly trying to show he's committed.'
Raye's performance at the event came shortly after she was spotted in the Ferrari garage at Silverstone Circuit on Friday after sparking romance rumours with the team's driver Lewis.
The Escapism hitmaker couldn't contain her smile as she watched the drivers practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit.

Raye was joined in the garage by Maura Higgins, who showcased her impeccable style in a bold black vest and Prada sunglasses.
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc 's girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux was also spotted in the Silverstone paddock.

There was an encouraging start to the weekend for home hero Lewis, who posted the fastest time in first practice ahead of this weekend's British Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion has endured an inauspicious start to life at Ferrari since his high-profile departure from Mercedes at the end of last season.
The 40-year-old currently sits sixth in the drivers standings, 28 points behind team-mate Charles, who has outperformed him at all but one race - the Emilia Romana Grand Prix - in 2025.
Lewis' car found its groove in the first period of running for the weekend and the Brit posted a time of 1:26.892, ahead of McLaren pair Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who finished second and third-fastest respectively.
While Raye and Lewis have yet to confirm or deny their romance, an anonymous insider was the first to break the potential news on Lewis and Raye's relationship, telling Deuxmoi, 'Raye and Lewis Hamilton are dating. From friends to lovers.'
Raye previously attended the 2025 Melbourne Grand Prix, wearing Ferrari red and hanging out in their garage.
But the singer was quick to refer to the seven-time world champion driver as a 'friend' during a trackside interview.
Fans have been able to trace photos of the pair back to July 2023 when Raye first attended the Britsh Grand Prix, and since then they have been noticed hanging out around New York together.
The duo were also seen together at the 2024 Met Gala, and Lewis cheered Raye on after her BRIT awards win.
Lewis had famously been in an on-off relationship with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 until their final split in 2015.
The F1 star had met Scherzinger at the MTV EMAs in 2007 and were together for 20 months but split for the first time in January 2010, before later reconciling.
They then split again in late 2011, before giving their relationship another go in early 2012.
They called time on things once again in July 2013, which prompted Scherzinger to break down in tears during her time on the X Factor judging panel. By February 2014 things were back on, before their final separation the following year.
The reason for the final split had been put down to the pressures of a long-distance relationship, with Hamilton frequently travelling as part of the sprawling F1 circuit.
'I'm devastated that it didn't work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together,' Scherzinger said in 2015.
'We wish nothing but happiness and the very best for one another.'
Hamilton admitted he had learned from the high-profile nature of the relationship, and claimed in 2022 that he was 'happy on my own.'
'I learned the hard way, I learned the hard way,' Hamilton said. 'I haven't talked about it much. I'm really just super focused on work.'
Hamilton has largely tried to keep his personal life under wraps ever since, but he has been linked with several high-profile stars, including Shakira and Sofia Vergara.

Ozzy Osbourne's pals share heartbreaking reason Black Sabbath rocker, 76, 'won't stop making music' after he performed farewell gig
's pals have lifted the lid on his future plans, saying he won't stop making music as it's 'in his DNA'. The rocker has been on the music scene for decades, and it doesn't look like he will be quitting anytime soon. The husband of Sharon Osbourne, 76, performed his final gig at Birmingham 's Villa Park this weekend - but his nearest and dearest say the Black Sabbath frontman has told friends he still sees a future for himself in the music industry. Despite having neck and back issues and Parkinson's, Ozzy can't see himself quitting after what happened to his late father when he retired. One of Ozzy's closest friends says he 'always thinks about his dad when it comes to retirement' because his father died just a few days after giving up work. 'I would not be surprised if, knowing Ozzy, he would do something around a stage to promote that,' the friend told The Mirror. 'Oz has made it clear many many times that he doesn't want to simply retire and stop making music or feeling the love from live audiences. 'He feels that he will wither away and pass if he stops altogether. His biggest worry - and he has said this often - is that the same thing happens to him as his father. That haunts him.' They claimed 'working is what keeps Ozzy going' and 'it's in his DNA'. Ozzy closed out his final ever live performance with some emotional words at Birmingham's Villa Park Stadium on Saturday night. He reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for their first performance in their original line-up since 2005 - and their final ever show as a band. Ozzy has spoken openly about his health in recent years after undergoing seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal operation in 2023. And the heavy metal singer had some poignant words for Villa Park as he brought the show to an emotional close in his hometown, Birmingham - where Black Sabbath formed some 56 years ago. Closing the band's final gig, Ozzy said: 'It's the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.' A message on screen then read: 'Thank you for everything, you guys are f***ing amazing. Birmingham Forever,' before the sky lit up with fireworks. The band's final performance was overwhelming for frontman Ozzy, who repeatedly thanked fans for their ongoing support over his five decades in the music industry. As the 42,000-strong crowd cheered him on, Ozzy admitted at one point: 'You have no idea how I feel.'

Coronation Street star sparks concern as he pulls out of fan event at the last minute due to illness
A Coronation Street star sparked concern after pulling out of a fan event at the last minute after falling ill. Craig Charles, 60, was known fans for his 10-year stint as Lloyd Mullaney on the ITV show, but is also beloved for his appearance in another iconic cult show. The actor had been booked to appear at London Film and Comic-Con on Sunday, having famously played Dave Lister in BBC sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf. Fans had hoped to see him appear at the event alongside Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn and Hattie Hayridge. However, organisers took to Facebook on Sunday morning to confirm that Craig would not be attending the event. In a post, which has since been deleted, they said: 'We contacted Craig at 9am to be be told that due to a family emergency he would not be in until 11am. 'At 11:30am we spent 20 minutes knocking on his hotel room door where there was no answer. 'His Red Dwarf colleagues were able to contact him at 12.30 where he confirmed he was ill and unable to attend. These are the facts.' They added: 'The Group shot will go ahead with Danny, Robert and Hattie and ticket holders will receive an automatic £60 refund to allow for the change of line up. 'If anybody does not want the group shot, any unused tickets will automatically be refunded after the show.' The post also included a video of organisers knocking on Craig's hotel room door, but it was taken down minutes later. Hours later, Craig himself took to X to clarify that he had fallen ill and was unable to appear at the Con as planned. He wrote: 'I'd just like to say sorry to showmasters and the fans at comicon. I made it to the hotel but woke up at 3 this morning with stomach pains. Later in the afternoon, Craig himself took to X to clarify that he had fallen ill and was unable to appear at the Con as planned 'I then proceeded to be violently ill for hours. Not a pretty sight. I tried to see if it would wear off but at 10 am I called it off and came back to Manchester. 'I'm feeling slightly better now and I'm drinking lots of water and electrolytes. Again sorry for the cancellation and I look forward to next time.' Fans were quick to share their well-wishes for Craig in the comments, writing: ' Fans rushed to the comment section to share their support, with one fan posting: 'Hope you feel better. 'You don't have anything to apologise for trust me someone that just got food poisoning two days ago I know exactly what you mean by coming down with something very quickly;' 'Take care of yourself. I've been watching you as Dave Lister since I was a child, Red Dwarf was and is still my favorite show. 'Lister inspired my love for curry and good tunes. It may be sad, but you were the closest thing I had to a father figure. Love from America, my guy.' 'As long as you're on the mend that's the main thing.' MailOnline has contacted representatives for Craig Charles and London Film Comic Con for comment. Red Dwarf originally aired on BBC from 1988 and 1999, which follows technician Dave Lister, who awakens after being suspended in time for three million years, to find that he is the last living human and he's alone on the mining spacecraft. In 2009 the series was revived on Dave, and has since returned for four more series, and a 2020 special. It came just days after fellow Red Dwarf star Chris Barrie pulled out of multiple public appearances due to a mystery 'medical situation'. The TV star, 65, best known for playing uptight hologram Arnold Rimmer in Red Dwarf, was expected to reunite with his castmates at London Comic Con, but dropped out at the last minute, citing worrying health issues. In a statement posted on his website, Chris told fans: 'Hello everyone. 'I'm going to be brief, but over the last week I have been dealing with a medical situation which I am only just beginning to get my head around. He added that all planned appearances 'over the summer and into the autumn' have now been scrapped, leaving followers concerned for his well-being. 'Updates on all this will be issued as and when,' he added. While Chris didn't go into detail about the nature of his condition, he did confirm he's still hoping to keep one date in the diary, a comedy appearance at Scarborough Unleashed on November 9. He said: 'In the meantime I shall leave Scarborough on the itinerary for now and will look forward to returning there in the early winter.'

Jamie Redknapp joins his stunning wife Frida as well as chic Binky Felstead and Alex Jones as they led the celebrities at day six of Wimbledon
was joined by his stunning wife Frida as they attended day six of Wimbledon at The All England Lawn Tennis Club on Saturday. The couple led the celebrity arrivals for the Tennis Championships with Binky Felstead and Alex Jones also in attendance. Saturday's tennis action will see Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner as men's headliners at the All England Club, while Iga Swiatek, Mirra Andreeva and Barbora Krejcikova will play on the women's side. Jamie looks smart in a clean-cut navy blue suit with a white shirt while Frida wore a co-ordinating collared midi dress. Binky showed off her chic sense of style in a yellow two-piece set consisting of a tailored waistcoat and high waisted shorts. The former Made In Chelsea star teamed her outfit with a matching pair of mules and carried a woven clutch bag. Alex wore an elegant polka dot dress that featured a highneck and semi-sheer tiered skirt. Actor Glen Powell opted for a chequered beige suit which he teamed with a white shirt and brown loafers. The presenter topped off her look with a pair of strappy heels and added a brown leather crossbody handbag. Saturday will see Djokovic take on Miomir Kecmanovic in the prime-time slot after Sinner has played Pedro Martinez. For the women, Swiatek will play Danielle Collins, while Krejcikova prepares to take on Emma Navarro. Earlier this year, former footballer and Sky soccer pundit Jamie was banned from driving for twelve months today for clocking-up multiple speeding offences. It was the ex-Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool FC star's second driving ban for speeding, meaning he was disqualified for twice the usual length of time. The former England international, who lives in a six-bedroom £10.5m house in Kensington, did not appear at Bexley Magistrates Court. He pleaded guilty in advance of the hearing and declared his income to the court as £9,230 per week. Redknapp pleaded guilty to exceeding the 20mph limit on June 26, last year on the A219 Putney Hill, near the junction of Westleigh Avenue, Putney, where a camera snapped him doing 26mph. He also admitted exceeding the 50mph limit on November 2, last year on the M4 near Burghfield, Reading, where he was caught driving at 58mph. On both occasions Redknapp was driving a brand new black electric Audi Q8.
