Lewis Hamilton may have missed the podium, but he’s topping headlines after partying up close with a model linked to a Premier League flop.
Fresh off the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, Formula 1 icon Lewis Hamilton has found himself back in the headlines.
Daily Mail reports the 40-year-old Ferrari driver was spotted with Russian model and influencer Violetta Bert during a wild night out in Monte Carlo, just hours after the chequered flag waved in the Principality.

Footage shared with Glam Set & Match showed Hamilton, who missed out on podium at the Monaco Grand Prix, and Bert entering a high-end nightclub just minutes apart, before cosying up and dancing together.

While neither party has addressed the speculation publicly, the chemistry was hard to ignore.
Bert, who is also known as Violetta Gracheva, has drawn attention before — not least for her previous links to Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk.

The Ukrainian footballer has been serving a suspension since November 2024 after testing positive for meldonium, a banned substance.
Although Mudryk has consistently denied the doping allegations, the scandal cast a long shadow over Stamford Bridge.

“I didn’t dump anyone and I’m not dating anyone! And I have never confirmed any relationship!” she posted on her Instagram stories at the time.

Hamilton, for his part, was most recently linked to Hollywood star Sofia Vergara, although their romance reportedly cooled by March.
