Meanwhile …….Hamilton pens songs about Scherzinger
Reigning Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has written songs about his former girlfriend and singer Nicole Scherzinger. Hamilton is currently working on his debut album and admits that his on-and-off relationship with the former Pussycat Dolls band member has provided inspiration for his music, reports mirror.co.uk. However, the 31-year-old says that he won't be making heartbreak tracks and instead he has focused on the "fun stuff" from their romance. "I've been inspired by life - the easy stuff like relationships, that's always easy to talk about, and partying,” Hamilton said. "It's not really break-ups or none of that emotional stuff, it's usually fun stuff. It's the good stuff in relationships, the excitement when you're in something new,” he added.Source: IANS
