The Oscar-nominated Knives Out star and No Time to Die girl was a special guest in the paddock for the season .

And the actress was given a bespoke tour of the garage ahead of the grand prix by .

, 40, was seen deep in conversation with Ana, lending his expertise to show her how the wheel on his F1 car worked.

The Brit had not had much luck on Saturday after qualifying a disappointing P16 – capping off a horror debut season with Ferrari.

An impressive drive through the field during the race eventually saw him finish P8, but it was not enough to prevent him from going without a podium in a season for the first time since his F1 career began in 2007.

But fans joked they had never seen Hamilton “fight for his life” trying to stay composed as he was able to flirt with Ana, who Maxim named as one of the Sexiest Women in the world in 2023.

A second said: “Being able to rizz from p16 is unreal. He truly is the goat.”

Ana opened up on her “beautiful friendship” with actor in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter to squash rumours the pair were dating following her leading role in John Wick spin-off Ballerina.

She previously dated and is said to have recently broken up with after nine months together.

Hamilton sparked dating rumours of his own earlier this year when he was linked with Sofia Vegara following a lunch together in .

Other names he has been linked to include , , and , with the latter rumours coming in 2023 after they were seen having dinner together following the Spanish Grand Prix.
