Lewis Hamilton has caused a social media stir with his latest post, as it features American reality television star Kim Kardashian alongside him.
It's a move that appears to confirm months of speculation about the pair's romantic involvement.
The Ferrari driver posted a video to his Instagram grid on April 6, showing himself driving through the Japanese capital's streets before the camera reveals Kardashian smiling and laughing in the passenger seat beside him.
The clip, which has been described as a “hard launch“ of their relationship, marks the first time either has publicly acknowledged their connection on social media.
Kardashian's appearance in the post adds significant weight to rumours that have followed the pair since early this year.
The two were first spotted together at a New Year's Eve party in Aspen, before being photographed on a romantic European trip in February, including visits to the Cotswolds and Paris.
They made their first public appearance together at the Super Bowl on February 8.
Recently, Lewis Hamilton has had a promising start to the new F1 season, scoring his first podium for Ferrari at the Chinese Grand Prix.
