Watch: Lewis Hamilton Makes Rare Comment About Kim Kardashian Romance Before British Grand Prix

Kim Kardashian has Lewis Hamilton's heart racing.

The F1 driver broke his silence on his blossoming romance with the SKIMS founder after months of refusing to discuss his personal life publicly.

During a fan Q&A ahead of the British Grand Prix on July 3, the interviewer pointed out that Hamilton appeared to be a "much happier man this year," before someone else on stage asked if that was because of his "fast car or new girlfriend."

And he didn’t race away from addressing the quip. 

"That's a good one," Hamilton responded, as seen in footage shared on social media. "Once you spend a year with this team, Ferrari is still the most iconic team of all-time. You know, they've had a difficult period of time. It's such an amazing team, and they've been so welcoming."

"The first year was obviously very tough," the Ferrari driver, who played third behind teammate Charles LeClerc and Mercedes’ George Russell at the July 5 event, went on, "but for us to finally see the hard work that we've all been putting in get us back to where we want to be and of course, of course, Kim."

The 41-year-old's acknowledgement of Kardashian follows his refusal to answer questions about her and their relationship status. In fact, at the 2026 Super Bowl, emphasized, per Sky Sports reporter Ted Kravitz, "It’s my private life. I’m not talking about that."

The seven-time Formula 1 champ had previously explained why he's so reticent to discuss his private life on his massive platform.

"Yes, it's very complicated, especially in today's world," Hamilton—who previously dated Nicole Scherzinger and was linked to Gigi Hadid, Rita Ora and Sofia Richie Grainge—told RTBF in 2025. "I see other drivers and I wonder how they manage: Some have children, are married, have girlfriends. I went through that in my twenties. I made a different choice: I decided to maximize the time I have here because it's shorter than people think. I don't want any regrets, or to think I could have given more."

And, while the Kardashians star has also not publicly confirmed her romance with Hamilton, she did recently hard launch their relationship on Instagram.

In a June 1 post simply captioned "lately," the 45-year-old could be seen riding bikes with Hamilton along New York City's West Side Highway.

Kris Jenner

Why, yes, Kris Jenner and longtime love Corey Gamble are still doing amazing, sweetie. In 2014, the music industry insider approached the world's most famous momager at fashion designer Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday bash in Ibiza and "I just tried saying, 'You're beautiful. I'd love to get to know you,'" he shared on the family's OG series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, "and it went from there."

Kourtney Kardashian

With all due respect for all the small things, Kourtney Kardashian's husband has made some pretty grand gestures throughout their yearlong marriage. Take her 44th birthday that saw her and Travis Barker take a trip up the California coast to Santa Barbara. The Blink-182 drummer marked the occasion by filling their room at the famed Kennedy Cottage with rose petals and gifting her with a $161,819 piece by artist Yoshitomo Nara. 

The Poosh founder has fully embraced her new life as the girl at the rock show. And in November 2023, she and Travis welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen Barker.

Kim Kardashian

As Kim Kardashian put it in a trailer of The Kardashians, "Things change really quickly." When season two wrapped, the SKIMS founder was still living it up with then-Saturday Night Live standout Pete Davidson.

She later got fans hoping she was getting back in the dating game with retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady. 

Alas, the mom to North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West—with ex-husband Kanye West—wasn't on the hunt for a new teammate. "They have friends and business partners in common, but [are] not dating," a source told E! News in May 2023. "Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school and preparing for American Horror Story."

She briefly dated Odell Beckham Jr. until news broke of their split in April 2024.

As a source told E!, Kim is "open to finding love again if she meets the right person." 

In early 2026, she fueled romance rumors with Lewis Hamilton. And in June of that year, the reality star hard-launched her relationship with the F1 driver on Instagram.

Khloe Kardashian

In a 2023 episode, Kris shoots her shot while chatting with Khloe Kardashian about Tristan Thompson, asking, "How's everything going with Tristan?" Safe to say the Good American founder has the basketball player benched for now. Though the exes have worked out a game plan for raising daughter True and son Tatum, Khloe shot down the idea that they're back together in May 2023, calling the narrative "tiring."

She's more interested in starting a fresh story. After meeting Love Is Blind star Alexa Lemieux the following April, Khloe pitched a winning idea to Netflix, writing on Instagram, "I think some of us single K sisters should go on LIB. What do you think?"

Kendall Jenner

Months after Kendall Jenner's split with NBA guard Devin Booker in fall 2022, the model's love life got an assist from friends Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. The married duo were spotted enjoying a double date with the reality star and musician Bad Bunny in February 2023. The following December, it was reported that the two had called it quits. 

Then in the spring of 2026, fans started to wonder if a new romance was in bloom as Kendall was spotted hanging out with Jacob Elordi.

Kylie Jenner

Seems Kylie Jenner has found herself a new beautiful boy. Last seen publicly with rapper Travis Scott—dad to her daughter Stormi and son Aire—at an Art Basel party in December 2022, the beauty mogul, has been linked to Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet since April 2023. Now, rise and shine because you don't want to miss the glimpses they've given us of their romance at New York Fashion Week and the US Open, as well as live on TV, when they showed PDA while seated together at the 2024 Golden Globes and 2025 Oscars.
