Speculation that RAYE and Lewis Hamilton are dating has been gaining momentum rapidly. The 40-year-old Formula One legend gushed over the 27-year-old British singer after she headlined a concert at the Silverstone British Grand Prix on July 6.
He said from the main stage following qualifying, “Raye is the first concert I’ve been to after a race, and she was great. She was the first concert I’ve been to at Silverstone, actually, so it was great to see her, wasn’t it.”
“It’s so great that acts can come here now. When I was watching last night, I was like it’s incredible to perform here, the crowd were great.” According to a source quoted by MailOnline, Hamilton stayed “for the whole set” to support RAYE, whose real name is Rachel Keen.
“I saw Lewis at the side of the stage last night and he was loving RAYE,” the source said.
“I was shocked to see him there with qualifying coming up, but he stayed for the whole set and really showed his support to her. Today, the British crowd went crazy when Lewis came out, and when he brought up RAYE, there were loads of cheers.”
Earlier that day, the “Secrets” singer was seen beaming inside the Ferrari garage as she watched Hamilton and the other racers during practice laps.
RAYE kept it casual in a beige T-shirt, blue jeans, black-framed glasses, red headphones, and a gold watch. She was spotted alongside Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, 24, and Love Island UK alum Maura Higgins, 34.
This wasn’t the first time the singer appeared trackside.
Off the track, the pair have crossed paths on multiple occasions. In 2024, RAYE and Hamilton were seen having lunch in New York with actress Sofia Vergara. They were also photographed mingling at the Met Gala in New York City.
For fashion’s biggest night, RAYE stunned in a Fendi Haute Couture gown featuring a silk silver bustier and embroidered organza skirt with 3D flower pistils, according to Vogue.co.uk. Hamilton wore a custom black Burberry wool coat embroidered with floral detailing, layered over a sharp suit and black boots.
Their connection goes back to 2023, when RAYE attended the British Grand Prix at Silverstone to show her support for Hamilton. In April of that year, she even shared a sweet photo carousel on Instagram, one image showed the two sharing a warm embrace.
