When an A-list celebrity\u2019s personal aircraft makes a massive intercontinental trip during a Formula 1 race weekend, the paddock immediately starts talking.<\/p>\n

According to the sports and culture Instagram account pulsesports.hq, Kim Kardashian\u2019s private Gulfstream G650ER\u2014officially registered as N1980K\u2014departed Honolulu, Hawaii, on Friday, 9 October. The aircraft completed a gruelling 12-hour, 41-minute direct flight, covering approximately 6,700 miles in a straight line before touching down in Singapore early Saturday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the digital flight trackers initially sparked massive online speculation about whether the reality television star was actually on board the jet or simply moving the aircraft, the live Formula 1 broadcast quickly provided the definitive answer.<\/p>\n

A pink dress and a P2 finish<\/p>\n

Any lingering doubts about her attendance were completely shattered on Saturday when Kardashian was clearly spotted standing at the back of the Scuderia Ferrari<\/a> garage. Wearing a pink halter-neck maxi dress, the 45-year-old Skims founder was front and centre to support her boyfriend, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton<\/a>, during the wet-weather Sprint race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.<\/p>\n

Her presence clearly served as a massive lucky charm for the veteran driver. After a 30-minute rain delay, Hamilton executed a lightning-fast launch off the grid, instantly jumping from his sixth-place starting position up to third.<\/p>\n

When Mercedes<\/a> driver George Russell<\/a> crashed heavily into the barriers on the second lap, Hamilton cleanly secured a brilliant second-place finish right behind Red Bull Racing’s Max\u00a0Verstappen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This weekend marks Kardashian’s first official appearance in the Formula 1 paddock since her highly publicised debut at the Monaco Grand Prix in early June. Interestingly, during that glamorous European weekend, Hamilton also secured a podium finish, crossing the line in second place.<\/p>\n
