"Umbrella" hit maker Rihanna was spotted in the company of the Formula One champion, Lewis Hamilton, on Aug. 3, Monday, in Barbados, where she was present to attend her native place's Kadooment Day parade.

While the singer was said to be dating Karim Benzema last month, her recent spotting with Lewis Hamilton has sparked a new romance rumor. The 27-year-old singer was photographed in the barely there bejeweled sparkly bra, matching underwear and a huge feathered head-dress while the racer was seen shirtless, showing off his tattoos.

The two appeared to be having a good time as they were clicked laughing and dancing while standing closely amid the crowd of the carnival. Although the pics suggest that the romance is brewing between the two, the sources told E! News that they are just friends and singer is still hanging out with Benzema at the moment, though, the romance is still in nascent stage.

Rihanna was romantically linked with the French footballer for the first time in June when the couple was spotted getting cozy at New York's hottest club followed by an early morning breakfast at a popular eatery. Neither the singer nor Benzema has commented over the rumors yet, but it was widely reported that the two are in close contact via phone and has a mutual admiration for each other.     

While the singer is linked romantically with two sportsmen at a time, her former lover Chris Brown seems to be still smitten by her, Inquisitr reported. The "Loyalty" hit maker reportedly performed Rihhana's chart-topping number, "B**** Better Have My Money," during a recently-held concert in Philippines, triggering the speculation that Brown still has feeling for the Barbadian singer and apparently wants to rekindle the romance once again.
