It seems that Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger (that rather attractive Pussycat Doll) are no longer an item. I would offer my condolences, Lewis, but I’m sure you’ll come out the other end OK. He does have a net worth of around $250 million, so I can imagine there is no shortage of takers.

There are some things money can’t buy, however, and the Top Gear ‘Star in a Reasonably Priced Car’ record is one of them. Lewis has now been pipped by Aussie Daniel Ricciardo, who tore around the track in a record 1:42.2. His ride? A Suzuki Liana…tasty.

The crowd at the filming of the episode did give Daniel something of a hard time though, so it wasn’t all roses. This from Jalopnik:

He also gave the finger to an audience heckler who asked him “What does the back of Lewis’ car look like?”

The episode was also noteworthy as Jeremy Clarkson managed to go the whole show without an ethnic slur.
