 The music world has been buzzing about the identity of the
artist named only as "XNDA", who features in a duet with
Aguilera in the song "Pipe" on her eighth studio album
"Liberation".
Media reports have pointed to Hamilton, who has devoted much of
his spare time to music for some years and is a friend of
Aguilera, but the Mercedes driver would not confirm anything
when asked about it.
"My sole goal right now and focus is fully Formula One," the
Briton said, sidestepping the question.
The 33-year-old four-times world champion said he had also been
asked about it at the previous race in France and nothing had
changed.
"It's not really something I want to speak about, I'm here
really to talk and focus solely on trying to win this
championships and that's really where all my energy is at the
moment," he said.

Pressed on whether that meant he was not denying it, Hamilton added:
"As I said, I'm just here to...I don't really know what to say."
Aguilera attended the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in April, where she sang
at a concert.
The American singer has also kept XNDA's identity secret, saying in
interviews only that she has been "dying for everyone to find out
as they're definitely multi-talented".
Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix is the ninth race of the season, with
Hamilton leading Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in the standings by 14
points.
