Lewis Hamilton clearly doesn’t listen to girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger’s album while he’s driving.

The Formula One racer failed to recognise Scherzinger’s song, Scream during a game of Guess the Track and the Artist on Nick Grimshaw’s Radio One Breakfast Show on Thursday morning.

After correctly guessing a number of tracks, he was left stumped when Grimmy played Scream and asked: “Which one is that?”

When the Breakfast Show host told him it was in fact his girlfriend’s collaboration with Timbaland, he said: “I can’t believe you did that to me. I’m going to get it when I get home.

“The worst thing is that was a great song.”

Trying to find an excuse for his faux pas, he said: “We weren’t together when she did that song.”
