Lewis Hamilton finishes second at Monaco GP as Kim Kardashian's support sparks fan frenzy

Lewis Hamilton secured a second‑place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix, staying 66 points behind race winner Kimi Antonelli and moving to 90 points in the drivers’ championship. Hamilton praised the weekend’s backing, saying, "It's amazing to have her come this weekend and ... she does that for me every day," referring to his girlfriend, reality‑TV star Kim Kardashian.

Kardashian attended her first Formula 1 event to support Hamilton, drawing massive media attention. She was photographed kissing Hamilton on the podium and sharing the moment on social media, while her fashion choices—an asymmetrical Gucci dress and coordinated looks with sister Khloé—dominated headlines. However, her presence also sparked controversy. A fan captured Kardashian taking a white towel designated for Antonelli’s victory and posting it online, prompting comments such as, "How do you even pick something up that is clearly not meant for you?" The incident led to calls for her to be banned from the paddock. Additionally, her brief interaction with veteran reporter Martin Brundle and perceived snubbing of other F1 wives and girlfriends fueled further debate among fans.

Despite the backlash, Hamilton remained unfazed, focusing on his on‑track performance and the progress of the Ferrari team, while acknowledging the broader support from friends and the public.
