Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian made her first appearance in the F1 paddock to support her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, during the Monaco Grand Prix. Her presence marked something of a hard launch for her WAG chapter, and she brought Khloé along for emotional support. Their fits? Great. Everything else? Let’s just say it didn’t all go smoothly.
Kim first started rankling F1 fans on Sunday, when a video surfaced of her seemingly declining an interview with well-known Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle. The footage showed an employee whispering in her ear after Bundle approached, at which point Kim smiled and nodded, looking a little confused. “Normally people will have a quick chat with us,” Brundle said before surmising, “Okay, Kim and Khloé, so we’re not talking today.”
Martin: Kim, Martin Brundle, Sky F1. How, how are you today? […] Are you enjoying F1?
Kim: 🤔⁉️❓️❔️🤨

A few hours later, F1 Reddit threads were again incensed by a video of Kim seemingly taking a towel for Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli and using it to dry her forehead. “If you never heard the word ‘no’ in your entire life, this is what happens,” one commenter wrote, while another said, “She saw ‘Number 1’ and immediately thought it referred to her …”
As if she wasn’t having a tough enough weekend, Kim was also seen fleeing the celebration area shortly after the race, when the top-three drivers sprayed Champagne bottles. After Hamilton finished in second place behind Antonelli, he hopped up on the stage and sprayed his bottle directly at Kim— who did not seem to be expecting liquid on her custom Gucci dress. Demna wouldn’t have liked that at all.

You know who did love having Kim in Monte Carlo? Hamilton, the seven-time world champion who invited her and seemed very proud to have her around. “It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have her support,” Hamilton told reporters after the race. “It’s amazing to have good people around you and supporting you. And she does that for me every day.” Well, there you have it. Hamilton’s giving her two thumbs up. I’m sure she’ll get her bearings next time around.
