A tearful Lewis Hamilton joined the elite ranks of double Formula One world champions on Sunday after a nerve-racking drive to victory in the floodlit season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

And his lucky charm, singer Nicole Scherzinger was by his side.

Scherzinger is often seen by Hamilton’s side at his biggest races and she did turn heads as she arrived to support her man in Abu Dhabi.

The former Pussycat Doll Scherzinger couldn’t wait any longer to give her champion boyfriend a celebration kiss.

The ‘helmet kiss’ has made headlines around the world and likely become the enduring image of Hamilton’s second F1 victory.

In a race overshadowed by the ever-present spectre of mechanical failure after the Briton's Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg suffered an early loss of power, Hamilton powered to his 11th win in 19 races. 

Hamilton tweeted, “Wow! This is the greatest day of my life! Thank you everybody for all your support.”

Scherzinger also posted pictures on instagram. One of the captions read, “Ahhh!!! My man Lewis Hamilton #2014F1WorldChampion #soblessed.”

This wasn’t enough as she posted another picture and captioned that as, “Lewis Hamilton, congratulations babe for winning the world championship. I'm so proud of you.”
The singer cut a striking figure at the Yas Marina racetrack in typical glam form.

She arrived in a black dress with sexy ankle boots and later joined the team spirit by changing into a branded T-shirt and cap.
