Formula 1 fans have lost it after Esteban Ocon<\/a> cheekily suggested that seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton<\/a> would be the perfect candidate for his own reality TV programme, dubbing it ‘Keeping Up With The Hamiltons’.<\/p>\n

Poking fun at the rumours that have suggested that the Ferrari<\/a> driver is in a relationship with reality TV star Kim Kardashian, Ocon suggested the show when asked by F1.com<\/a> which driver was most likely to go on a reality TV show.<\/p>\n

“Holy\u00a0moly Esteban, I was not familiar with your game,” one fan wrote on Reddit, while another added: “You can see the moment the thought popped into his head.”<\/p>\n

“His answer and Lando’s made me laugh so hard. Cheeeeeeky boys,” someone else posted, referring to Lando Norris’s response to the same question. The McLaren<\/a> driver simply said, “Lewis Hamilton. IYKYK”.<\/p>\n

Other reactions included: “Cheeky boy.\u00a0The man has great banter,” and “When paired with Alonso, we saw the worst side of Esteban. Since leaving Alpine<\/a>, he’s turned into quite the comedian and becoming a likeable character.”<\/p>\n

Some fans even suggested that they would watch the hypothetical Keeping Up With The\u00a0Kardashians spin-off. “Imagine Lewis walking into the paddock with a confessional cam crew F1 meets Kardashians, I\u2019d watch that chaos unfold,” one commented.<\/p>\n

“I despise reality television, but I’m ashamed I would watch if it were Lewis. Deeply ashamed.\u00a0But would definitely watch,” another added.<\/p>\n

Reports emerged in early 2025 that Hamilton was in a relationship with Kardashian, and the pair have since been seen together at the Super Bowl and in Tokyo ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix. Neither party has confirmed the rumours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked the same question in the same F1 Drivers Play Fill In The Blanks video, Ollie Bearman, Isack Hadjar<\/a> and Arvid Lindblad<\/a> all chose Norris, while Alex Albon<\/a> said Liam Lawson<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawson and Oscar Piastri<\/a> chose George Russell<\/a>, and Russell and Franco Colapinto<\/a> opted for Pierre Gasly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joining Ocon in choosing Hamilton were\u00a0Gabriel Bortoleto<\/a>, Fernando Alonso<\/a> and Gasly.<\/p>\n
