In a recent interview, Lewis Hamilton was found saying, “Of course, we know performance-wise, we’re not going to blitz these races. But maximising points every weekend, holding on to second in the Constructors’ Championship and chasing down Perez… that’s my goal.”

Currently Hamilton stands 4th in the driver’s championship but is tied with Fernando Alonso who claims the 3rd position. If Mercedes improves their performance, he might be able to get the 2nd position. But Sergio Perez has been practicing over the top throughout the summer break so its going to be a tough competition.

While its no secret that Hamilton and Shakira were more than friends, rumours of their split has been popping up all over the internet.

The reason for their split has not been confirmed but reports from Nino Prodigio, a psychic, saying Hamilton wanted children while Shakira didn’t. The singing icon already has two children with her ex-husband, footballer, Gerard Pique.

Hamilton has already had his fair share of disappointment this season and with the summer break coming to an end, fans cant help but pray for a comeback both from Mercedes and Hamilton himself.
