One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has been driving fans wild after he was spotted at the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco.

The star posted several photos of himself enjoying the weekend’s racing, sending fans into a frenzy online.

Siiiiiiick @redbullracing

The 24-year-old was holding a huge umbrella and wearing a broad smile on his face – despite the rainy weather.

He was joined by his girlfriend Danielle Campbell.

On the tracks, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton roared to victory – with Justin Bieber quick off the mark to congratulate him.

The drama-fuelled race started under a safety car following a deluge of rain, and while the entire field pitted for intermediate tyres, Hamilton took what would be the race-winning decision to stay out, before later pitting on dry rubber.

Ricciardo pitted one lap later, but his pit crew were inexplicably not ready for him, and he emerged behind the British driver. The Red Bull team later said “miscommunication” was to blame.

“I am kind of lost for words,” Hamilton said.

“I prayed for a day like this and it came through. I feel truly blessed.”
