Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Grand Slam champion, will be seen driving for Ferrari in the upcoming 2025 season, which begins in Australia. Hamilton is currently enjoying his off-season and was seen basking in the beauty of Petronas Twin Tower in Kuala Lumpur. Hamilton's love life once again became a subject of speculation, after he was seen having lunch with Sofia Vergara in New York City recently. The F1 driver was seen gushing while talking to Sofia, and that was just enough spark for the netizens to declare them an unofficial couple. As the most popular F1 driver in the world, Hamilton's love life has always been a subject of public scrutiny. Below, we’re taking a look at the dating history of the F1 legend.
