Ferrari Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has expressed his gratitude for the support of reality TV star Kim Kardashian during the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, describing it as 'amazing.'
Hamilton and Kardashian's Relationship
Hamilton, 41, has reportedly been in a relationship with the 45-year-old star of The Kardashians since the beginning of the year. The couple made their romance 'Instagram official' earlier this week, with Kardashian posting a photo of them cycling along a river in New York on a sunny day, where she appeared to momentarily lose control of the bike.
Support at the Grand Prix
The Stevenage-born driver, who secured a second-place finish in the prestigious race, said: 'It is amazing to have her come this weekend and to have that support. It is amazing to have good people around you, good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day.'
Hamilton blew a kiss to Kardashian as she watched him collect his runners-up trophy. Kardashian arrived at the circuit 50 minutes before the start of the grand prix, posing for pictures outside Hamilton's Ferrari garage before heading to the starting grid.
Grid Encounters
On the grid, she was approached by Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle, who asked her a series of questions, including 'are you enjoying F1?' Kardashian ignored him, to which Brundle replied: 'Ok, so we're not talking today.'
Kardashian made her first appearance in the Formula One paddock on Saturday during qualifying, since she started dating the seven-time world champion. She wore a white dress with large pink-tinted sunglasses on the grid.
Celebrity Presence
Kardashian was accompanied by her sister Khloe, who wore a similar outfit. Other notable attendees at the race included Donald Trump Jr., singer Karol G, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, former snowboarder Shaun White, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor Terry Crews.
The Monaco Grand Prix was won by Mercedes' Italian driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
