Lewis Hamilton has opened up about his split with US X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger.

'We're friends at least and we can move forward,' says Lewis, 26.

While Nicole went out for a friendly dinner with rapper Drake in West Hollywood this week, Lewis has been spending time with brother Nic, dad Anthony and stepmum Linda to help him through the 'tough time'.

'It's these kind of times that are sent to try you - and it's about how you pull through them,' he tells PA.

'I've got my family who are helping, so I feel pretty good.'

Reports claim their break-up was sparked by Lewis's reluctance to settle down and have children.
