Overview
- Hamilton finished second at the Monaco Grand Prix and told reporters on Sunday that it was “amazing” to have Kardashian’s support during the weekend.
- Broadcast footage and photographers captured visible PDA as Hamilton hugged Kardashian, kissed her on the cheek, and later blew her a kiss from the podium.
- Hamilton posted photos from Monaco including a Polaroid of Kardashian posing with his race helmet, underscoring the pair’s public acknowledgment of their relationship.
- Viral videos showing Kardashian apparently ignoring veteran grid-walk interviewer Martin Brundle and picking up a towel left for race winner Kimi Antonelli have generated strong fan criticism and sustained debate about manners in the paddock.
- Monaco’s high-celebrity setting helps explain the spotlight on these moments and the wider effect is clear: celebrity presence can boost mainstream interest in F1 while also creating friction with media traditions and regular paddock attendees ahead of races such as Barcelona.
