London, March 3 (IANS) F1 champ Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he has rekindled his romance with 'Pussycat Dolls' star Nicole Scherzinger.

The couple had parted ways in January to focus on their respective careers, however, they were recently spotted together doing a romantic shopping in Los Angeles.

Contactmusic.com reports that the 24-year-old, who is currently in Bahrain for the new Formula 1 season, admits they are dating again but says their busy schedules are still an issue.

'I would love for Nicole to be in Bahrain but she's away. We said we want to focus on our careers. She's away focusing on her album and she's got a couple of really cool things coming up so she'll be working. If she can come, if she surprises me, then fantastic but I know that she's got work so maybe next time,' said Hamilton.

'You make it work. You do it any way you can. When something is worth it you do it.'
