Lewis Hamilton poses with his arm around Shakira as they go out for cocktails

They were first pictured hanging out together in mid-May and Shakira and Lewis Hamilton looked pretty cosy when they headed out for cocktails on Sunday night. 

Earlier in the day, Shakira, 46, had watched Lewis compete at the F1 Grand Prix of Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Cataluny, as rumours of romance between the pair swirl.

Then later, the pair headed out for dinner with singer and songwriter, Mustafa sharing the snaps on social media. 

Lewis’s arm could clearly be seen wrapped around the Colombian singer at the dinner, with his hand visible at her side. 

It’s unclear whether or not the pair are friends or romantically linked. 

Mustafa simply wrote: ‘May God protect the engineers.’

Earlier, Shakira could be smiling as she stood in the stands, wearing a multi-coloured blouse with a paisley pattern.

Her silky top featured shades of blue, pink and white, with the pattern being gold. She wore lashings of make-up to highlight her pretty features, including a pink lip.

The pop star looked engrossed in the race as she watched with her friends, with the group reacting as the cars raced by.

Shakira watched as Max Verstappen took a dominant victory, with Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and George Russell second and third.

Lewis showed off his cool sense of style ahead of the race on Sunday, wearing a black jacket and matching trousers with a red shirt underneath.

He shielded his eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses and wore a gold grill on his teeth to match his numerous earrings. 

It comes after Shakira was joined by Formula 1 ace Lewis and an entourage of pals as they boarded the yacht outside her $20million waterfront mansion in Miami, Florida last month.

Shakira, single following her bitter separation from former FC Barcelona and Spain footballer Gerard Piqué last June, looked relaxed in a breezy lilac co-ord while gingerly following Lewis, 38, on to its modest deck.

She was seen accepting Hamilton’s offer of a hand, with the decorated Mercedes driver promptly getting to his feet as she climbed aboard.

Just hours earlier Shakira turned heads while making her way into Miami’s Cipriani restaurant, where Lewis was dining out with American fencer Miles Chamley-Watson and an extended group of friends.

Footage from the night shows Formula One fan Shakira greeting the Mercedes driver, who acknowledges her with a smile as she is ushered past his table.

While the singer is understood to be single following her separation from Piqué, Hamilton has been romantically linked with Brazilian model Juliana Nalu. 

Also in attendance at the event was Spanish singer Rosalía who looked relaxed as she posed in the VIP area.

The star, 30, wore a white cotton shirt which she left open to create a plunging neckline.

She completed her look by wearing a pair of blue trousers and opted for some dark shades.

The pop star could be seen posing alongside Brazilian soccer player Neymar Jr at the sporting event.

It comes after Shakira reportedly ‘laughed off’ recent claims that Hollywood star Tom Cruise is interested in dating her.

The pair were seen in Miami last month at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami, where they posed for photos together.

An insider originally told Page Six that the actor, 60, ‘is extremely interested in pursuing’ Shakira as ‘there is chemistry’ between the pair.

But sources have since played down the claims, telling US Weekly: ‘Shakira had a great time hanging out with Tom at F1 but she has no interest in dating him.’

The South American songstress, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, parted ways with longtime love Piqué last summer amid allegations he had cheated on her.

The Hips Don’t Lie singer ‘needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom,’ the source told the outlet of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One star, describing him as ‘a nice-looking guy, and… talented’.

The source noted of the stars, ‘And she isn’t taller than him,’ as the Top Gun: Maverick star is 5-foot-7 while the Grammy-winner is 5-foot-2.

The Hollywood veteran sent flowers to the Whenever, Wherever artist after they crossed paths at the auto racing event in South Florida Sunday, the outlet reported.

The pair were seen chatting on the starting grid of the race and in a private hospitality suite.

Shakira is mother to Milan, 10, and Sasha, eight, from her 12-year romance with Pique, while Cruise is father to Isabella, 30, and Connor, 28, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, and Suri, 17, with ex-wife Katie Holmes.
