The anticlimax of this entire scenario occurs when a celebrity couple split. Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger left fans clueless when they called time on their seven-year relationship last year in February.
Nobody knew what could have been the sole reason for their split until now. Hamilton recently admitted that his love for cars is to blame.

In an interview with Top Gear magazine, the F1 champ said, "My cars are my babies. I used to say, when I had a girlfriend, 'I'm taking one of the girls out, so you can come if you want, but you come second when it comes to the cars.'"
During their relationship the couple dogged several engagement rumours. Neither Hamilton nor Scherzinger spoke about their romance, but reports have it that they found it hard to have a long distance relationship with the ace driver's job taking him around the world.
The sexy Pussycat Doll has not reacted after her former flame came out with the admission as she's having a long holiday after a strenuous schedule filming The X Factor.
According to reports, Hamilton has moved on. He triggered romance rumours with singer Rita Ora after they were spotted getting cosy in Montenegro.
