Kim Kardashian may have stolen the attention at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday but that’s not allĀ Lewis Hamilton’s new romantic interest was pinching at Monte Carlo.
Speculation over Lewis Hamilton dating Kim Kardashian have been running wild since February, with a series of public outings together over the last few months.
However, her appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday to support Hamilton was a first for a Formula 1 weekend, and she would have been delighted to see the seven-time world championĀ earn a podium spot for FerrariĀ after finishing second behind race winner Kimi Antonelli.
Hamilton was gushing over the Kardashian supportĀ in Monaco, giving her a public kiss on the cheek after the race, as well as blowing a kiss to her on the podium.
That should have been that, but one eagle eyed F1 fan spotted an outrageous act from Kim just after the race finished that left fans furious with her conduct.
Caught in the act
As she was walking past the an area of the track prepared for the top three finishers,Ā she unashamedly whipped away a towelĀ supplied for Mercedes’ race winner Kimi Antonelli.
A photographer appears to confront her on the cheeky swipe, but after a small exchange still leaves with towel in hand, and poor Antonelli (probably) wondering why F1 had forgotten to give him a towel after a hard earned race win.

Fan fury over Kim’s towel snatching
Fans though were more furious over Kim’s behaviour, one fan even telling Hamilton to never bring her to an F1 race again, saying: “How do you even pick something up that is clearly not meant for you?? Lewis Hamilton, please leave her at home next time.”
Others were not as kind, with one fan saying: “True Billionaire behaviour. Do whatever you want, assume it is OK. Someone will deal with any consequences. I’m sure that towels are in plentiful supply at the Monaco GP.”
One fan was still smarting fromĀ her snubbing Martin BrundleĀ by ignoring an interview from his grid walk, adding: “After the way she treated Brundle and now this, she shouldnāt be allowed back.”
There were of course some looking to defend her behaviour, and the best that can be found is one fan saying Kimi wasn’t using it anymore… no really. They said: “It was after the podium so he doesnāt need the towel anymore.”
Hamilton: Amazing to have Kim Kardashian
Whatever the fans think, it doesn’t look like Hamilton will be looking to stop Kim coming to any future races judging by his reaction to her being in the paddock in Monaco.
In the press conference after the race he said: “Itās amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support, but with my friends, incredible turnout just overall with people.
“And yeah, I donāt really know what else to say. Itās amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day.”
So that’s that then. Hamilton won’t do too badly to scratch up on his South Park knowledge before the next race though, and take advice from one of the show’s supporting characters in telling Kim Kardashian ‘Don’t forget to bring a towel.’
