The 22-year-old model and the Formula One ace, 31, kept in close proximity to one another at the event, which took place at London's Tate Modern on Tuesday, and now reports have suggested that the two have been secretly dating for the past three months.
The duo allegedly went out of their way to avoid photos together in an attempt to reduce suspicion that they are an item.
A source told The Sun: "Lewis and Winnie have known each other for a while and partied together in New York last year, but things have stepped up a notch recently."

They added: "They didn't want to fuel suspicion at the awards on Tuesday so agreed to stay apart from each other and avoided getting pictured together."
But if their nearness on the red carpet wasn't enough to prompt speculation, then their exit may have been.
Lewis was pictured walking towards a car parked just a short distance from Winnie's, with the two pulling off at pretty much the same time.

After Winnie, who was linked to Mariah Carey's ex-husband Nick Cannon last year, drove off from the venue, Lewis' vehicle was said to have followed suit just seconds later.
"It's nothing serious at the moment and Lewis is just playing the field, but he really likes Winnie," the insider dished.
Express.co.uk has contacted representatives for both Lewis and Winnie for comment.

Winnie is just the latest in a string of beauties the British racing champion has been linked to following his split from long-term girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger in February 2015.
Last summer, Lewis was thought to be romancing supermodel Kendall Jenner, though it was later claimed that the two were "just friends."
Lewis was also believed to have struck up a relationship with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin back in July, when the L'OREAL stunner was pictured supporting him at the European Grand Prix, Monaco Grand Prix and Hungarian Grand Prix.
