From Malaysia With Love! Lewis Hamilton takes Nicole Scherzinger by the hand as she lands in Kuala Lumpur for Grand Prix
|
She may be a sizzling leading lady in her own career but Nicole Scherzinger knows when to take a backseat.
Also, it helps if when your boyfriend asks you support him at work, that he is a Formula 1 driver and is needed in sunny Malaysia.
And Nicole, 34, looked like she was more than happy to leave wet London to accompany her boyfriend to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, ahead of this weekend's Grand Prix.

The former Pussycat Doll looked hot in her casual denim cuts offs, loose white T-shirt and a red basketball hat.
Walking hand-in-hand with her hunky lover Nicole showed off her incredibly toned legs and her gorgeous boyfriend.
Former X Factor judge Nicole kept her hair loose around her shoulders and with the humidy her locks looked slightly thicker.

Happy: Nicole and Lewis grin as they spend some quality time together
She opted for some flat gladiator sandals and added some chunky gold bracelets to her look, along with a slick of red lipstick.
A muscly Lewis met his girl off a plane after tweeting he was excited for Nicole's arrival.
He looked like he had been working hard in sun as he was sporting a deep tan which was off-set with his bright white T-shirt.
Tweeting hours before her arrival, the Mercedes driver wrote: 'Whatsup? Am now working with my engineers, been an OK day. Hoping tomorrow will be better. Loved driving the car today, feels great.

Working out Lewis? The F1 driver looked bigger - perhaps he has been hitting the gym while his girlfriend was back in London
'Been a great day, can't wait to get in the car tomorrow. & my girl @NicoleScherzy arrives to come support me this weekend, can't wait.'
Lewis revealed he fears Mercedes lack the pace to fight for this year's Formula One world championship, but has not ruled out the prospect of at least one race win.
Hamilton's fifth-placed finish in Sunday's Australian Grand Prix was more than he had envisaged going into the season as Mercedes proved they had taken a considerable step forward from last year.
There was the suggestion they may yet have what it takes to challenge reigning champions Red Bull, winners in Melbourne in Lotus, and their long-time rivals Ferrari.

Thanks for coming! Lewis later said he was taking his girl out for dinner for some Malaysian cuisine
With Hamilton admitting he did not extract the most from the car at Albert Park, the potential is there.
But as for a title challenge, not this year as Hamilton said: 'At the moment, in terms of pure performance we don't have the speed to compete for the world title.
'But I feel there is more in the car and if we set it up we can be quicker. Whether that means we can close the gap and get ahead of the others, who knows.
'I'm certainly thinking we could get one win, maybe more than one, but the other guys are going to make it as hard as they can that's for sure.'

For Hamilton, this weekend in Malaysia comes too soon for that dream of a victory to be realised.
Crucial for Hamilton's chances of strong points at least on Sunday will be the weather as torrential rain regularly strikes in the late afternoon given the heat and high humidity.
With FP2 affected slightly by some rain, that restricted Hamilton's running and his assessment of the car compared to his rivals.
Wearing his heart on his sleeve: The Formula One ace showed off a new sleeve of tattoos on his arm, and admitted his father didn't approve of his new body art
But he has concerns over the Mercedes' handling in the wet, as he discovered last weekend in Melbourne when conditions turned and he slid off at one point, hitting a wall.
'I was very uncomfortable with the car in the wet,' said Hamilton.
