Sir Lewis Hamilton has got the rumor mill spinning after he was spotted enjoying a swanky lunch date with Sofia Vergara.

The Formula One ace, 40, is currently gearing up for the start of the next season, which marks his first driving for Ferrari after his exit from Mercedes.

He appeared to be making the most of his down time, as new pictures showed him grinning widely while catching up with the Modern Family actress, 52.

According to reports, the pair were very flirty while stopping off at a restaurant in New York on Tuesday, joined by friends.

An insider told TMZ that the America’s Got Talent judge was so engrossed in the lunch conversations that she barely touched her food.

Although the pair have yet to address the dating rumors publicly, they couldn’t stop smiling at one another in snaps obtained by the outlet.

Sir Lewis famously dated Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger in an on-off romance spanning nearly a decade, until they officially went their separate ways in 2015.

Following this, he has been romantically linked to a string of stars, including Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Shakira and Irina Shayk.

Meanwhile, Sofia announced her divorce from True Blood’s Joe Manganiello after seven years of marriage.

The former couple met at the White House Correspondents dinner in 2014 and got engaged at the end of that year, following a whirlwind romance.

They walked down the aisle in Florida the following November, before confirming that they were going their separate ways two years ago.

‘We have made the difficult decision to divorce,’ they said in a joint statement at the time.

‘As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.’

While she was rumored to be dating orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Saliman, Sofia said she was manifesting a man in her life this year.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, she declared that she wanted ‘health, money, a boyfriend or a lover maybe’ in 2025.
