F1: Lewis Hamilton received a heart from Kim Kardashian after winning the Barcelona GP

Lewis Hamilton’s first Formula 1 victory for Ferrari attracted attention on and off the track, with Kim Kardashian publicly celebrating the achievement on social media. The reality TV star shared a photo of Hamilton crossing the finish line after his triumph, adding a trophy and a heart emoji in a gesture that quickly fueled ongoing speculation about their relationship.

The post on the social network came shortly after Hamilton secured his first Grand Prix victory for Ferrarian emotional milestone in his debut season with the Italian team.

The win marked a major breakthrough for Hamilton following his high-profile move to Ferrari. The seven-time world champion finally won a Grand Prix for the Scuderia after years of success with Mercedes, sparking celebrations throughout the team and among Ferrari fans around the world.

After the race, Hamilton acknowledged the support system around him and emphasized the importance of having trusted people by his side.

“It’s amazing that she’s coming on the weekend and has support,” Hamilton said when asked about Kardashian’s presence, according to the GP blog. “With my friends, the incredible turnout, the people in general. I don’t really know what else to say. It’s amazing to have good people around you and good people to support you. It does that for me every day.” Kim Kardashian posts about Lewis Hamilton on her social media (screenshot from Instagram/@kimkardashian)

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff also appeared to refer to Kardashian when discussing Hamilton’s resurgence at Ferrari.

“Maybe his girlfriend will help him,” Wolff joked, before pointing to several factors behind Hamilton’s improved performances, including his growing comfort at Ferrari and a strengthening relationship with his race engineer.

Hamilton and Kardashian have been linked for months, though neither has publicly confirmed a romantic relationship. The pair have often been spotted together at high-profile events, including the Super Bowl, where speculation about their relationship intensified after photos of them spending time together emerged.

Kardashian was also present during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, taking part in both qualifying and race activities. She was seen in the Ferrari garage and later cheered Hamilton on during the podium celebrations, further fueling debate about the nature of their relationship.

HAMILTON’S FERRARI BREAKTHROUGH CELEBRATION

Hamilton’s win marked one of the defining moments of Ferrari’s season. The British driver looked visibly emotional after crossing the finish line as celebrations broke out in the Ferrari garage.

According to reports, Kardashian was among the first people to congratulate Hamilton after the win. Arriving for post-race media duties, the Ferrari driver reportedly spoke to Kardashian on speakerphone as she congratulated her on the landmark result.

This achievement was also warmly received at Ferrari. Chairman John Elkann described the victory as an emotional occasion for both the team and the fans, who had been eagerly anticipating success since Hamilton’s arrival.

As well as ending speculation about when Hamilton would take his first Ferrari win, the result also reinforced the belief that the partnership between driver and team is starting to click. Combined with growing confidence on track and a strong support network outside of racing, Hamilton appears to be enjoying one of the quietest periods of his Ferrari career so far.

Whether Kardashian and Hamilton will decide to address the relationship rumors publicly remains unclear. What is certain, however, is that Kardashian’s celebratory post and Hamilton’s warm comments in support of her only increased interest in one of the most talked about sports couples.
