And fans later posted photos of Lewis and Juliana, who dated Kanye West and had been romantically involved with the driver for some time, at a fancy restaurant.
Videos published on social media showed the sportsman, who was also rumored to be getting close to Shakira earlier this year, surrounded by bodyguards.
Lewis appeared in good spirits as he walked through a crowd following Juliana in one video clip.
The beauty was first described as Lewis's “new girlfriend” at the start of this year, when F1 fans claimed she was the woman pictured next to the driver as he soaked in a hot tub in Antarctica with former Olympic snowboarder Shaun White.
Only part of the top half of her body, including her arm, was visible in the photo Shaun posted to social media, but it was enough to make Lewis' followers identify the mystery woman as Juliana.
Speaking about Shaun and Lewis, one said: 'Of course he's on the same boat. Check out Shaun White's Insta. They're in the hot tub and a girl (Juliana Nalu?) is in Lewis' arms.'
Another said: 'JULIANA NALU WITH LEWIS HAMILTON REALLY???'
A third said: 'Juliana Nalu with Lewis Hamilton. LOL, this darling is too good.”
A fourth replied: 'Hamilton's lineage could be Brazilian and only depends on Juliana Nalu.'
