Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger are rumoured to have split up.
Scherzinger had been dating Hamilton - who won the Formula 1 world drivers' title in 2008 - for almost four years. The couple had briefly separated once before in early 2010.
A source told The Sun: "Nicole and Lewis have tried to make it work but realised it's just not happening so have called it a day once and for all.
"They've spoken at length about it but agreed there's no point as they never see each other. They spend their whole time on opposite sides of the world."
The source went on to claim that X Factor USA judge Scherzinger is "devastated" as she believed that Hamilton was "the one".

A second insider told The Mirror that Hamilton and Scherzinger's busy working schedules put pressure on their relationship, saying: "Increasingly hectic schedules this year have meant limited face-to-face time. They've probably spent more time on the phone or on Skype than they have in person.
"Sadly, Nicole's job on X Factor USA... appears to have come at the cost of her relationship... This, plus Lewis's crazy international jet-set lifestyle, put immeasurable strain on the pair."
The second source added that the separation was "all very amicable" and that Hamilton and Scherzinger remain friends.
