Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian romance draws scrutiny in Formula 1

Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton publicly confirmed his relationship with reality‑TV star Kim Kardashian during a fan Q&A session before the British Grand Prix, joking that his happiness this season is due in part to “the new car and the new love… and certainly… Kim.”

Insiders report that the couple’s visibility is causing tension among the tightly‑knit community of F1 wives and girlfriends (WAGs). A source said, “He’s proud to have Kim cheering him on, but she’s not mixing well with the other WAGs. They find her snooty and fake, and there’s talk that his head’s elsewhere when she’s around, a worrisome distraction.” Hamilton has defended Kardashian, calling her his “good‑luck charm” and urging the paddock to accept her.
