Lewis Hamilton: 'I still love Nicole Scherzinger very much'
The Formula 1 driver and the X Factor USA judge confirmed their split last month, ending a four-year relationship.
However, the pair recently met in Los Angeles, after which Hamilton told The Mirror that he is not ready to give up on the romance completely.
"We had a really good week, a couple of really nice lunches together. We had a really nice dinner together," Hamilton said of his meet-up with Scherzinger.
"It's very early days and we still have very strong feelings for one another. I still love her very much. So, who knows? Maybe we will be together in the future."
Hamilton also expressed his positive outlook as he prepared for an upcoming race in Sao Paulo, Brazil, adding: "I am very happy to be here, I've great memories of being here in the past. Actually [Nicole] was here with me when I won the world championship, so I've very good memories.
"But certainly it was a really positive few days which meant more to me than a race win, so I came away from LA feeling great and things are different, so that's cool. I've a lot of positive energy at the moment."
