Even though Hamilton recorded the song Pipe, he didn’t come out with his real name on it. Using the pseudonym XNDA, the F1 driver has baffled his fans with his vioce. However, one day, Hamilton decided to reveal his identity, much to the relief of his fans.

The Silver Arrows ace was also grateful to Aguilera for allowing him to showcase his talents. Talking about this, the seven-time world champion shared, “I had this incredibly beautiful and talented person reach out to me a while back asking for me to be on her album.”

I was so blown away and I jumped at the opportunity. I had 2 hours to write the short verse and record. The goal was to have the music come out under a different name so that you could hear the music first and later know it was me,” further wrote the 37-year-old driver on his Instagram story.
