Lewis Hamilton smitten with Kendall Jenner

Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton wants to take model Kendall Jenner on a "proper date".

The 30-year-old, who split from Nicole Scherzinger in February after seven years of dating, is reportedly smitten with the 19-year-old, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Hamilton, who was spotted sunbathing and jet-skiing with the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star and her friends, including Gigi Hadid and Hailey Baldwin, on his yacht in Monaco earlier this week, is said to have fallen for her at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival. He also thinks she is "really cute and smart".

"He's single and ready to date seriously again," UsMagazine.com quoted a source as saying.

Kendall is equally attracted to Hamilton and enjoyed spending the day with him on his boat.

The source added: "Kendall definitely has a major flirtation going on with Lewis and seems into him. They were very flirty all day long. Lewis was spraying water on Kendall with the back of his jet ski and she was loving the attention. They were both laughing and having a great time."
