We have been lucky enough to share a fantastic time together, and it will continue to be so, but with a different form of affection. As you have probably seen, we have continued working on and off track on various projects together during this time, and we will keep doing so with deep love and respect for each other."

The F1 icon who dated Russian model Viki Odintcova, who had previously claimed to have ignored messages from footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, has revealed that he once reached out to her. According to Viki, Ronaldo had messaged her, saying, "Hi, how are you?" but she chose to delete the message and not respond. This happened a long time ago, as per her statement. Additionally, Viki has stated that she is still in touch with Lewis Hamilton, with whom she had been friends before. These details were reported by The Sun.
