Kim Kardashian's first Formula 1 paddock appearance as Lewis Hamilton's girlfriend became one of the biggest talking points of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. While Hamilton celebrated another strong result with a second-place finish, much of the attention around the race shifted to Kardashian, leaving some Formula 1 wives and girlfriends unhappy with how much focus she received.
WAGs Unhappy Over Kardashian's Spotlight
According to The Sun, several partners of drivers felt Kardashian's presence dominated conversations throughout the weekend. Monaco is known for its glamour, and many wives and girlfriends who have built large social media followings often receive attention during race weekends. This time, however, much of the spotlight was on Kardashian. Reports claimed even Formula 1's social media channels featured her heavily, making her one of the most discussed figures at the event.
Hamilton's Strong Performance
Hamilton, meanwhile, enjoyed one of his strongest weekends of the season. The Ferrari driver finished second behind Mercedes star Andrea Kimi Antonelli in Monaco, adding another podium finish to his campaign and strengthening his position near the top of the drivers' standings.

One moment that gained attention online involved Kardashian and Alexandra Saint Mleux, the partner of Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc. A video circulating on social media showed the two speaking briefly, though some fans later claimed Kardashian appeared distant during the exchange. No public disagreement between the pair has been confirmed.
After the race, Hamilton made rare comments about Kardashian and thanked her for being there. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "It's amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support. But, you know, with my friends, incredible turnout, just overall, the people. It's amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day."
Relationship Timeline
The couple have been linked since early 2026 and have been seen together at several major events, including the Super Bowl and Coachella. Their relationship became more public in recent months, and Monaco marked Kardashian's first appearance inside a Formula 1 paddock since the romance began.
What's Next for Formula 1?
With Monaco now over, Formula 1 heads to Barcelona for the next race. Whether Kardashian will join Hamilton again remains unclear, but her first Formula 1 weekend certainly left people talking long after the chequered flag fell.
