It has been two years since the dramatic finale to the 2021 Formula 1 Championship in Abu Dhabi. As Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen had locked horns, fans saw the end to an era in the sport as the Dutch lion took over his seven-time World Champion rival to become the new title-holder. Even now, the rivalry between Max and Lewis is often discussed in the F1 town. And it seems that Max Verstappen‘s girlfriend Kelly Piquet has been brought into the conversation because of a certain thing that Lewis mentioned in one of his recent interviews regarding him dating Brazilian women.

It all started when Lewis Hamilton made a guest appearance for Mercedes‘ sponsor Petronas ahead of the Sao Paulo GP. He was asked if he is fluent in the country’s official national language, Portuguese, since the 38-year-old has an honorary Brazilian citizenship. He replied to the question by including a subtle hint at his love life.

At some point, I need to learn Portuguese. But I think I need to come live here. Or get a Brazilian girlfriend.

Lewis Hamilton’s personal life has always been a topic of huge speculation since the days of his much-publicized relationship with Nicole Scherzinger. In the past year, he has been linked on more than one occasion to Brazilian model Juliana Nalu. But Lewis has never commented on his current romances in public. And his sudden remark about getting a Brazilian girlfriend has made some fans think of the only F1 driver whose partner does hail from there–Max Verstappen.

In other news, Lewis Hamilton will be entering into Brazil with hopes of a race win for Mercedes. Last year, his teammate George Russell had earned the team’s only Grand Prix victory of 2023 at the Sao Paulo GP. Lewis already holds the record of winning thrice at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, and he has maintained a good record recently by getting some podiums in the last few races too. Hence, it remains to be seen if Lewis manages to win his first race since 2021 at the upcoming Brazilian GP.
