This weekend, Kim Kardashian stepped into Monte Carlo to support boyfriend Lewis Hamilton at the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix and honestly, the Formula 1 world may never be the same again.

Although the couple only recently made their relationship Instagram official, they’ve reportedly been linked since the beginning of the year, with appearances together at major events including the Super Bowl and Coachella. Monaco, however, marked Kardashian’s first full Formula 1 race weekend as Hamilton’s girlfriend.

It was also a huge weekend for Hamilton himself. The Ferrari driver finished second at the Monaco Grand Prix behind rookie sensation Kimi Antonelli, marking Hamilton’s first Monaco podium since his 2019 Monaco Grand Prix win.

From fashion moments to a little controversy, here’s everything you need to know about Kim Kardashian’s first Formula 1 weekend.

On June 6th, Kim arrived in Monaco alongside sister Khloé Kardashian, serving back-to-back fashion moments all weekend long. On Saturday, Kim leaned into a sleek off-duty WAG aesthetic in a sheer black embroidered bodysuit, flared denim, pointed heels, and oversized shield sunglasses. Khloé kept things effortlessly chic in a matching halter top and capri pants.

Then on race day, Kim swapped the casual glam for a dramatic draped cream gown with a plunging back, while Khloé matched the neutral palette in a sandy lace-trimmed slip dress.

One of the biggest paddock moments of the weekend came when Kim was spotted chatting with Alexandra Leclerc, wife of Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc.

The pair were seen in their first public interaction together, watching the race together from Ferrari hospitality in coordinated neutral-toned looks, instantly giving the internet its first true Ferrari WAG crossover moment in a long time. Alexandra wore a sophisticated embroidered halter top and matching skirt from Oscar de La Renta, while Kim kept to her signature monochromatic glamour.

Following Hamilton’s P2 finish, Kardashian made her way down to the Ferrari area beneath the podium, where the pair shared a hug, a kiss, and a quick celebratory moment that immediately sent social media into meltdown.

Hamilton was also spotted blowing a kiss toward Kim from the podium after receiving his trophy, while she filmed the celebrations from below alongside Ferrari team members.

Hamilton also publicly acknowledged Kim’s support for the first time following the race.

“It is amazing to have her come this weekend and to have that support,” Hamilton said after the Grand Prix. “It is amazing to have good people around you, good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day.”

Safe to say the soft launch era is officially over.

Between the paddock appearances, the podium celebrations, and Hamilton openly praising her post-race, Monaco felt very much like the couple’s official Formula 1 debut.

However, Kim Kardashian’s first F1 weekend does not come without controversy.

During Sky Sports’ famously hectic pre-race grid walk, veteran F1 broadcaster and former Formula 1 driver Martin Brundle attempted to stop Kim for a quick interview.

“Kim, Martin Brundle from Sky F1, how are you today?” he asked.

Kim smiled briefly before continuing to walk through the grid with her entourage, declining to answer Brundle’s questions. Moments later, Brundle appeared frustrated after an interaction with Kim’s security, saying: “Don’t push me, mate.” The clip quickly went viral online, dividing Formula 1 fans.

Some viewers argued that celebrities invited onto the grid should acknowledge broadcasters, while others defended Kim, saying Monaco’s grid walk is notoriously chaotic and she wasn’t obligated to stop for an interview.

Either way, the moment instantly became one of the biggest talking points of the weekend – even Formula 1 can’t escape Kardashian discourse.

Between the Ferrari hospitality appearances, the fashion moments, and the post-race celebrations, Kim’s Formula 1 WAG era debut was quite a spectacle.
