F1 speed ace Lewis takes his Pussycat Doll for a spin... on his back

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger has admitted that she is terrified of boyfriend Lewis Hamilton’s driving, but the Formula 1 driver has found a less scary way to give her a lift – on his back.

The 23-year-old gallantly carried the singer over a rocky shoreline in Cala Jondal, Ibiza after they spent the night partying at the Blue Marlin bar.

Lewis has been enjoying a break with 30-year-old Nicole as he prepares for the European Gran Prix next weekend.

The pair were targeted by thieves earlier over the weekend when two bags belonging to Lewis were stolen from the boot of his hired Mercedes as he checked out of a hotel with Nicole in the Costa del Sol.

However judging by their smiles, the couple aren’t letting the setback affect their trip.

Nicole revealed that she hates going for drives with the racer last week.

I'm actually terrified when he takes me on a drive. Especially through the canyons in Los Angeles. Wow! He's at one with his car - let's just say that!' WENN quoted her as saying.

The star also said that she and Lewis - who met at the MTV Europe Music Awards last November - were set to take a break from each other in order to concentrate on their careers.

'I am returning to the States to work on my new single and album,' she said at the Cartier Style et Luxe concours at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

'Lewis will be focusing on racing. I don't think we'll have much time to see each other before Christmas.'
