F1: Wolff not confirming Hamilton-Shakira rumors (Update)
Shakira is said to be jetting off with her rumored new beau Lewis Hamilton for a “romantic holiday” in the Caribbean, according to reports.
Now Spanish journalist Jordi Martin, who claims to have a friendship with Shakira, has revealed the two will jet off sometime soon.
Martin said: “Hamilton and Shakira are planning to go on holiday together and I already know the destination.
“It’s a Caribbean country, a short trip of about an hour.
“I have people who are close to Shakira and they have been meeting this week and she has told them that she is excited and happy.”
According to Spanish media, witnesses at the race saw the two getting close.
One told Vaniatis: “In the paddock at Montmelo there was cuddling and they even kissed.”

(GMM) Toto Wolff passed the buck when asked if Lewis Hamilton has begun to date the 46-year-old Colombian pop star Shakira.
“I don’t know anything about that,” the Mercedes team boss told Osterreich newspaper.
When told that Shakira was recently in the team’s Formula 1 garage, Wolff smiled: “I didn’t see anything. I was just looking at my screen.”
On the track, things are also starting to look brighter for Hamilton and Mercedes – as the seven time world champion qualified fourth in Montreal.
But currently soaring almost completely unchallenged at the very top of the sport at present is Canada GP pole sitter Max Verstappen.
Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko said the Dutchman’s dominance was particularly obvious on the wet circuit.
“He doesn’t even need a warm-up. He pulls out of the pitlane and where the others need three laps, he doesn’t even need one. Hats off to him,” he told Sky Deutschland.
And with the surprise front-row sitter Nico Hulkenberg subsequently shunted down the grid with a penalty, Marko admits Sunday’s race should be yet another win for Verstappen.
“As it looks like it at the moment, it will be Alonso again,” he said when asked who the two-time champion’s biggest challenger will be.
