Ferrari Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has been rumored to be dating British pop singer Raye, who worked with him for the 'F1' movie. Raye was spotted in the Ferrari garage during the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, supporting Hamilton during his first home race with the Maranello-based team.
Hamilton has reportedly dated several popular personalities throughout his F1 career thus far, such as Hips Don't Lie artist Shakira in 2023. Early this year, Hamilton was spotted having lunch with Colombian actress Sofia Vergara in New York, and now, a report by Planet F1 has linked the 40-year-old driver to Raye.
Originally named Rachel Keen, the 27-year-old singer performed on stage at Silverstone, earning praise from Hamilton. Raye also composed a track for the 'F1' movie, which was co-produced by the seven-time world champion.
Raye was present for the F1 season opener in Melbourne in March, cheering for Hamilton. Speaking to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle before the race, she said:

"This is electric. The first black man in red, we're so proud to see it."
When asked if she was in touch with Hamilton throughout the race weekend, she said:
"Yeah, no. He's had to really get in his zone.
"We're just here to support and I'm so grateful I get to be here to witness this moment."
Months later, Raye's performance impressed Hamilton after the British GP qualifying session. Speaking to the media, he said:
"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."

Hamilton's P4 finish at Silverstone was his best result thus far with Ferrari. The last stage of the race saw him battle with Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg for P3, who surprisingly held his ground and secured his first F1 podium.
Given the spell of rain and the poor visibility that followed, Hamilton revealed that his Ferrari SF-25 was a tricky machine to drive in those conditions. He said:
"[It was a] difficult race, not a great one from my side. I did the best I could.
"As it showed there was plenty of mistakes out there and very, very tricky conditions, in really a very, very hard car to drive here – this car doesn't like those conditions. Not ideal, but we got some points at least."

Charles Leclerc Apologizes For Fiery Ferrari Radio Rants In Hungarian GP
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc failed to capitalize on a shocking pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Through his career, the Hungaroring has not been Leclerc's best track - he tends to have issues with extracting pace, a rarity for the Monegasque. Against the long odds, he delivered an amazing lap in Q3 and looked certain to get a podium at the very least. Instead, Leclerc ended up losing performance due to an issue with the car's chassis, leaving him ripe for the picking on track. Charles Leclerc of Monaco and Ferrari speaks of frustration in the media pen during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Charles Leclerc of Monaco and Ferrari speaks of frustration in the media pen during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Photo byAfter an impressive first stint where he kept his lead, Leclerc was down massively on pace in the second half of the race. When he pitted for the first time, Ferrari had to adjust the car because the plank on the bottom of the car was too worn out. The team raised the air pressure of the tires, raising the ride height. This change ended up leading to a loss of pace. During the race, Leclerc was furious with the team over the radio. "I can feel what we discussed before the race... we need to discuss those things before doing them," he said on the radio. "We are going to lose this race with these things. We are losing so much time." After making his second pit stop, the problems only grew. "This is so incredibly frustrating," Leclerc added later on. "We've lost all competitiveness. You just have to listen to me, I would have found a different way of managing those issues. Now it's just undriveble. Undriveable. It's a miracle if we finish on the podium." The Formula 1 veteran apologized for his intense radio rants when speaking to the media after the race. "First of all, I need to take back the words I've said in the radio because I thought that it was coming from one thing, but then I got a lot more detail since I got out of the car," Leclerc said. "It was actually an issue coming from the chassis and nothing that we could have done differently. I started to feel the issue in Lap 40 or something like that, and then it got worse, laps after laps after laps, and towards the end we were two seconds off the pace. And the car was just undriveable." Considering how well he is driving this season, his disappointment feels understandable, considering how hard he works to extract the best possible result every race weekend. McLaren is the dominant car, and Leclerc feels like he has to take advantage anytime the championship-leading team is on the back foot. His first stint's pace was good enough for a race win if he kept it up, but the Ferrari star was robbed of the chance to do so by factors out of his control.

F1 CEO Backs Lewis Hamilton's Dream For Eighth Title Amid Hungary Disaster
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali has backed Lewis Hamilton in his quest to win his eighth championship title, revealing that he will be back in strong form after the summer break. This statement arrives after the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, where a dejected Hamilton said that he was "useless" and that Ferrari should change the driver. The seven-time world champion was hugely upset after qualifying P12 for the race at the Hungaroring. The Grand Prix was no good either, as Hamilton didn't gain positions and finished in the same place he started, outside of the points. The Briton has been having a hard time adapting to the Ferrari SF-25 F1 car and achieving the kind of setup that suits him best. While there have been positive moments, such as the sprint race victory in China, and a best finish of P4 in Austria and Great Britain, the race in Hungary proved to be a major setback for him. When the media asked him after the race on Sunday if he would be back for the next race at Zandvoort, Hamilton said: Stefano Domenicali arrives in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 3, 2025 in Northampton, United Kingdom. Stefano Domenicali arrives in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 3, 2025 in Northampton, United Kingdom."I look forward to coming back... Hopefully I will be back, yeah." The "hopefully" in his statement raised many eyebrows, leading many to wonder if Hamilton was planning on ending his career. However, the reassurance from him that he still loves racing offered some hope. Domenicali, who has led Ferrari in the past, praised Hamilton and confirmed his faith that he will come back stronger after the summer break. He told Sky Sports F1: "Lewis is a jewel, an incredible athlete. So no matter if it is a difficult moment, he will react, and I am pretty sure he will show the reason why he is here. "He wants to achieve his 8th title, and he will triumph again. So stay with Lewis and he will do a great race, and be very, very strong after the summer season." Related: F1 Summer Shutdown: Why Teams Can't Touch Their Cars Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur was asked after the race in Hungary if he would motivate Hamilton. The team boss said: "I don't need to motivate him. Honestly, he's frustrated, but not demotivated. You know, it's a completely different story. I can perfectly understand the situation. Sometimes you are making comments on what the driver is saying in the car, but if you put the microphone on some other sportsmen in football and so, I'm not sure that it would be much better. "They are in the performance, and sometimes they are making comments, even when they jump out of the car. I can understand the frustration, but we are all frustrated. And sometimes if you ask me, I can't say this, I will go to the stewards [for swearing]! "But sometimes just after the race or just after the quali [qualifying], you are very disappointed and the first reaction is harsh. But we all know that we are pushing in the same direction."
