The 22-year-old racing star, who has been seen with the 37-year-old supermodel on several occasions in recent months, insists the age gap is too big for them to have a serious relationship.

Lewis said: “There is most certainly nothing going on between me and Naomi. She is like a big sister. And anyway, she is too old for me.”

Lewis also revealed he is enjoying being a bachelor, although he is looking to settle down.

He said: “I’m definitely single – still looking for ‘Miss Right’, I guess. But I am not stressed about it, I have got loads of other things on my mind. I am very flattered by all the attention I get, but it is a bit overwhelming, if I am honest.”

Naomi and Lewis sparked romance rumours earlier this year when the catwalk beauty “flirted outrageously” with the sports star at the GQ Man of the Year awards in September.

Naomi said at the time: “I’m really here for Lewis – he is my man of the year. He has everything.”

The fiery model fuelled relationship speculation further after she flew out to Brazil to see Lewis finish second in the Formula One Championship. Last month, the pair attended the Prince’s Trust Future Investment charity gala dinner together at London’s Roundhouse.

One source said: “They were quite touchy feely with each other before they realised they were being watched, but as soon as they saw the photographers they hid their faces and tried to get as far away from each other as possible. It was like they had something to hide.”

Earlier this year, Lewis was rumoured to be dating Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, while Naomi has had high-profile relationships with P. Diddy and Formula One team boss Flavio Briatore.
