Defending champion Lewis Hamilton went into a silent spin on Wednesday as the first test of the 2015 pre-season concluded at Jerez.
The Briton was back in his silver Mercedes for the last of four test days in southern Spain, just as news hit the celebrity headlines about his latest split from long-time girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger.
Mercedes’ PR team made it clear questions about Hamilton’s private life were not welcome at Jerez, but elsewhere, pop-star and actor Scherzinger confirmed to the
Mirror: “I’m devastated that it didn’t work out.”
Hamilton was silent on the topic but he did spin the new W06 car, leaving observers like
Times correspondent Kevin Eason wondering if “the break-up of his relationship will have the same effect that dizzied his senses on each of the three previous occasions he has split up with the singer”.
