Race car driver Lewis Hamilton insisted that he's single amid the rumors that Nicole Scherzinger's former beau is dating Rihanna.

Lewis Hamilton addressed the Rihanna dating rumors as he claimed that there's nothing going on between them.

"You know, I've known Ri for a long time," he told E! News. "We've been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again...otherwise, we're just good friends."

Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton first sparked the dating rumors when they were snapped having a blast during the Kadooment Day Parade. Later, Chris Brown's ex and Nicole Scherzinger's former beau were snapped on a yacht while she tried on some watersports.

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger split in February this year and the former Pussycat Dolls singer talked to The Sun regarding the breakup.

"I'm devastated that it didn't work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together," she said. "I love Lewis and I know he loves me. We wish nothing but happiness and the very best for one another. I'm trying to stay strong in my faith right now."

In May, she also explained the possible reason for their breakup, "Sometimes people stay in relationships because they get complacent, because it's comfortable for them, because they don't want to be alone."

Aside from Rihanna, Lewis was also rumored to be dating Kendall Jenner back in May this year. The rumor proved to be false.

For her part, Rihanna was also rumored to be dating football player Karim Benzema and her ex, Chris Brown.

A source told E! News, " "She is still talking to Karim but she is also talking to Lewis and keeping her options open. She is not at any point in her life now ready to settle just for anyone but she is enjoying the time she has with her friends and also focusing on work."
