A video has been viral where Formula One legend Lewis Hamilton and Columbian star singer Shakira were mingling in the popular restaurant, Cipriani, in Miami.

It came as the F1 circus took over the Florida with celebrities descending on the street track for the race.

And the city is where Shakira now calls home after her split from former Barcelona star Pique

Shakira appears to be seen in the clip walking across the restaurant as she appears to approach Hamilton's table. The short video has also shown the 'Waka-Waka' singer being shepherded over towards Lewis.

Another man who appears to be seated nearby - possibly also at Hamilton's table - turns around as she approaches.

Lewis meanwhile appears to be seen looking up towards her and smiling as they appear to greet each other.

The 92-time race winner appeared pleased to see Shakira - and she then joined the group for dinner table. Lewis had earlier been snapped by photographers entering the restaurant wearing a distinctive multi-colored shirt and jewelry. And while the clip sent tongues wagging and rumors swirling, it is understood the racer and the singer are just friends. It comes after the singer, 46, was spotted coming together at the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.

Shakira announced her separation form footballer Pique last May after spending 11 years together.The Colombian singer-songwriter was reportedly expelled from Pique's dad last month, sparking her move back to Miami. The mum-of-two made no mention of the eviction order in the farewell message she posted on Instagram after being pictured leaving the Catalan capital with her two children to start a new life in Florida. Shakira and Pique confirmed in November they had reached a child custody agreement. They signed the accord at a court in Barcelona the following month.

As part of the agreement Pique, now dating 24-year-old Catalan beauty Clara Chiawill spend holiday time with his children. Shakira’s wish to move to Miami, where she used to live and part of her family are based, is understood to have been the sticking point in the former couple’s previous failure to strike an out-of-court settlement. 

The singer came under fire in March after performing her disk track with Argentine DJ Bizarrap, in which she blasts Pique and his new girlfriend, on the Jimmy Fallon late-night show earlier this month.

The singer's volatile song left little doubt that she was referring to her former partner and his younger lover.

In the track, she took a swipe at Clara’s age with the lyrics: “I’m worth two 22s. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo, you traded a Rolex for a Casio.”

And Pique responded to the song by turning up to work in an £8,000 Renault Twingo.

He also boasted that his new seven-a-side project the King’s League had landed a sponsorship deal with Casio- adding that the cheaper watch would 'last a lifetime'.

Pique said in a subsequent interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais he was “very happy” following the dramatic changes in his life which have included the split with Shakira and retirement from football.

He was spotted late last month romancing his new girlfriend with red roses and they had reportedly spent holidays in Dubai also. The pair is believed to be enjoying their first loved-up holiday in the UAE since they had gone public with their relationship.
