In the past Nicole Scherzinger would have been at Lewis Hamilton's side as he arrived to compete in the Australian Grand Prix.
But the British champion will have to go it alone on Sunday - as his hardworking girlfriend has a competition of her own.
The singer is taking part in Dancing With The Stars - and as Lewis signed autographs for fans yesterday she was perfecting her routine in a rehearsal studio in Los Angeles.
Nicole wore a relaxed outfit of pink sweatshirt and Ugg boots following the day of dancing.
Last week it was Lewis's chance to play the supporting partner as he watched from the audience.
He had plenty to cheer about - Nicole topped the leaderboard as the new season of the show premiered in America

Nicole and partner Derek Hough - who comforted Cheryl Cole in the days after her split from Ashley - scored the first two nines and a seven on the premiere of the 10th season of the show, beating off stiff competition from the new cast.
Scherzinger denied her experiences with the Pussycat Dolls gave her an unfair advantage, saying: 'This is a whole other world for me.
'I have experienced dancing but I have never done anything like this before. It is a far cry from chest pumps and booty dips.'
