The Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix not only left emotions on the track with Lewis Hamilton's second place, but also became the stage in which, for the first time, the British Ferrari driver broke his usual secrecy and spoke openly about his relationship with Kim Kardashian.

After a brilliant race on the iconic urban circuit, where he managed to get on the podium, the seven-time world champion could not hide his happiness when asked about the presence of the celebrity in the paddock.

“It's incredible that he came this weekend and has his support,” declared a smiling Hamilton during the post-race press conference, according to People.

Clearly shy but visibly moved, the 41-year-old added: “It's wonderful to have good people around you, good people to support you, and she does that for me every day.”

The romance, which according to close sources began at the beginning of the year, had already reached a milestone days earlier when Kardashian, 45, made the relationship “Instagram official” by sharing photos and videos of their vacation together. However, his debut in the Ferrari garage publicly cemented the union.

The complicity between the two was total. At the end of the race, the Briton blew her a kiss from the podium while she proudly recorded it with her phone. Later, they met in the pit area to embrace each other in a loving hug and a kiss on the cheek, unleashing the fury of the fans.
