Lewis Hamilton referenced Kim Kardashian during British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
A fan inquired why he seemed happier recently, to which Hamilton jokingly replied it might be due to Kardashian. Broadcasters David Croft added that the question was because of a need to know if Kimi needed two towels, referencing Ferrari’s Kim Kardashian connection.
Hamilton laughed and discussed his first season with Ferrari, describing it as one of the most iconic teams in Formula 1 and welcoming. He noted the challenging nature of the year but the hard work finally paying off, leading back to where they wanted to be.
Before moving on, Hamilton joked “And of course, of course it’s Kim,” receiving cheers from the crowd.
Hamilton and Kardashian have been rumored to be dating for months without confirmation. Reports suggest their relationship has included trips in Japan, England, and France.
Kardashian also became part of a light-hearted Formula 1 moment involving Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli during Monaco Grand Prix when she picked up a towel left near the podium. The incident went viral online and Mercedes later presented Antonelli with a new towel embroidered with “To Kimi from Kim.”
