The X Factor judge, who flew to Belgium on a break form her X Factor duties at the weekend, looked wrought with worry as she watched Hamilton crash out of the Grand Prix in the early stages.

The 27-year-old F1 ace was involved in a four-car pile-up at the La Source hairpin bend at the start of the race.

As it became clear Lewis's car was involved in the dramatic collision, Nicole was seen looking on in horror from the McClaren technical area, unable to do anything but stare with disbelief.

Nicole, 34, witnessed Lewis's car be hurled into the air before smashing into pieces as it landed back on the tract.

The fear in her eyes was clearly evident as she rested her head in her left hand, furrowing her brow in worry.

But relief soon swept over the Poison hitmaker as she saw Hamilton emerge from the wreckage unscathed.

The incident was a horrible end to the couple's weekend.

Nicole had flown to Belgium especially to support her man earlier in the week and the pair had been enjoying posting snaps on their Twitter accounts as they prepared for the race.

Along with a cosy snap of the pair, the former Pussycat Dolls singer tweeted: 'In Belgium for the Grand Prix to support my man @LewisHamilton for his race this wkend:).'

And after the race, she offered words of comfort to Lewis, as she wrote: 'We love and support you to the end babe...@LewisHamilton.'

Lewis also took to his Twitter account after the race, offering a positive outlook as he looked forward to the Italian Grand Prix.

'Sometimes, bad days are there to remind us that we have good ones to look forward to. So here's to Monza! Onto the next one...,' he wrote.

The collision at the first corner of the tract forced Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Sergio Perez and Romain Grosjean out of the running.

Grosjean veered towards Hamilton right at the start, forcing the McLaren driver off the track as they fought for position going into the first corner, causing an almighty crash.

Luckily everyone escaped injury but Hamilton immediately remonstrated with Grosjean about his role in the incident.
