Beyonce Knowles has been taking driving lessons from Lewis Hamilton.

The 'Halo' singer and her rapper husband Jay-Z enjoyed private sessions with the Formula One World Champion racing driver at Monaco's Grand Prix track following their recent arrival at the Cannes Film Festival.

A source said: "Beyonce's so excited to be learning from him. And Jay is too. He's ready to put on his helmet and get in the fast lane."

As well as teaching Beyonce and Jay-Z, Lewis - who is dating Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger - is currently preparing for the race in Monaco on Sunday (24.05.09), which is one of the most prestigious dates in the racing calendar.

Beyonce's so excited to be learning from him. And Jay is too. He's ready to put on his helmet and get in the fast lane.

The 24-year-old British driver had a bad start to the 2009 racing season after he was disqualified from the Australian Grand Prix in March after misleading race stewards.

He later made a public apology and is said to have considered quitting the sport.

However, Nicole - who has been dating Lewis for around a year - has shown her support for her man.

She said: "I do love him and feel very lucky to have found him. He is totally supportive of me as I am of his career."
