Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton has made a rare public remark about his relationship with Kim Kardashian, suggesting she is one of the reasons he has been happier this season.
The Ferrari driver commented on a fan event at Silverstone ahead of the British Grand Prix after broadcaster David Croft noted that he looked much happier both on and off the track.
When a fellow racing driver jokingly asked whether his improved mood was down to a faster car or a new girlfriend, Hamilton smiled before replying, “Yeah, that’s a good one.”
After praising Ferrari for welcoming him during his first season with the team, Hamilton drew loud cheers from the crowd when he added, “And of course, of course, it’s Kim.”
The comment is being viewed as one of the clearest public acknowledgements yet of his romance with Kardashian. The pair have been linked since February, with speculation intensifying after she attended the Monaco Grand Prix in May.
Hamilton later thanked Kardashian for her support, saying she encourages him every day. While the seven-time world champion is known for guarding his private life, his latest remarks have further fuelled rumours that the relationship is becoming increasingly serious.
