Reality television star and SKIMS mogul, Kim Kardashian, has been linked to seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton several times over the past few months. The pair went public at the Super Bowl earlier in February, and they have since been spotted in Paris and stateside. With the 2026 Formula 1 season about to commence, fans and commentators are chiming in on the romantic pairing – and other drivers are giving their opinions, too!
Here’s what one driver from a rival team has said to show his support of the budding romance.
The Starting Grid Is Buzzing With Excitement Over The Romance Rumors

When being interviewed on the Gypsy Tales podcast, fellow Formula 1 driver Liam Lawson opened up to the world about his thoughts on the newest couple in the paddock. First speaking of his girlfriend, Hannah St. John’s excitement over the emergence of the romance between Hamilton and Kardashian, Liam revealed, “Hannah has been talking about this today. Like literally today, she was like, ‘Liam, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are dating now!'”
Asked about his own opinions of the Hamilton-Kardashian duo, Lawson excitedly said that he thinks the high profile pairing will benefit the popularity of Formula 1. “It’s great for the sport, to be fair,” said Lawson. “The sport has grown so much in the last few years. I don’t know how it can be bad for the sport.”
Kardashian and Hamilton Have Overlapping History That’s… Complicated

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton may have an exciting new spark that they’re taking global right now with their appearances together being spotted throughout the world, from California to France. But their overlapping individual histories may complicate things if they start to get serious. That’s because Hamilton has been linked to Kardashian’s younger half-sister Kendall Jenner in the past.
The Ferrari F1 driver and Jenner, one of the world’s highest paid supermodels, were seen together out at events and spending time on yachts. However, nothing has continued between Hamilton and Jenner since their publicly known time together since Kendall went on to date Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, aka ‘Bad Bunny’ – aka the Super Bowl LX halftime show headliner whom Kim and Lewis saw perform while they were sitting together up in the stands.
Between Lewis Hamilton, Kim Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner, none of the parties nor their camps have ever officially confirmed a serious romantic relationship. When asked about his private life in the past, Hamilton has emphatically declared that he is solely focused on driving and his own self-improvement. Conversely, Kim says she is trying to focus on her four children while running several companies – plus filming her family’s iconic reality television show, The Kardashians.
But Liam Lawson’s recent comments and his enthusiasm for supporting the pair possibly hints at the likelihood of Kim making an appearance in the paddock wearing Ferrari red when this year’s Grand Prix schedule kicks off in March 2026.
