Speaking to The Mirror, he rubbished reports that he and the X Factor USA judge were no longer friends: "We still have very, very strong feelings for each other," he said.

"It's still very early days. Who knows? Maybe we'll be together in the future."

Despite their split, the pair were pictured in Los Angeles earlier this week during what appeared to be a tense moment.

The driver has now revealed that there was more to their awkward meeting than what meets the eye.

He told the paper: "You didn't catch us at the best of times. But what you didn't see is that we had a really good week. We had a couple of really nice lunches together and that day we had a really nice dinner together."

The couple reportedly chose to call it quits on their four-year relationship after Nicole, 33, said she wanted to the start a family and the McLaren driver admitted that he was not ready to be a father.
