Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian have officially hard launched their relationship on social media. On Monday, the Formula 1 driver shared a video on Instagram in which he’s seen drifting in a luxury Ferrari during a recent trip to Tokyo.
The thrilling clip features several shots of Lewis driving around in the car, and at the very end of the video he shares a glimpse of Kim, with whom he’s thought to have started dating back in February. Kim, who is sat in the passenger seat of the Ferrari, is heard declaring: “That’s insane”. Lewis captioned his video: “Wait is over.”

Fans were quick to comment on the video’s ending, with one writing, “The most unexpected ending yet.” Another wrote, “Hamilton post of the year.” A third added: “The casual hard launchhh.”
Kim joined Lewis on his recent trip – in which he raced and placed sixth – along with her children Saint, 10, Chicago, 9, and Psalm, whom she share’s with ex-husband Kanye West, 46. Kim’s sister Khloe Kardashian, 41, reportedly joined them too along with her two children, True, 7, and Tatum, 3.
Rumours of Kim and Lewis’ romance first began to swirl earlier this year, when it was reported that the couple spent a romantic weekend at a Cotswolds members’ club in the heart of Oxfordshire. The pair, who have been friends for a number of years, are said to have enjoyed dinner after a couple’s message together at the lavish Estelle Manor.
“It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer,” a source told The Sun . “She had two bodyguards with her, and Lewis had a close protection officer, but they remained in the background.” They were later spotted together at the Super Bowl.
Kim and Lewis met 12 years ago, and were pictured with their then-partners Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger at GQ’s 2014 Men of the Year Awards. Lewis later struck up a friendship with Kim’s half-sister, supermodel Kendall Jenner, who joined him for a lap at the Miami Grand Prix in 2024. And Kim’s mum Kris Jenner also spent time with him in the pits at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2019.
In 2015, Kanye invited Lewis to spend Easter with their family and they bonded over music. After she split from third husband Kanye in 2021, Kim stayed close to Lewis and they were both handed gongs at the Wall Street Journal’s innovator awards.
And it appears their relationship is going from strength to strength, with one source revealing to People that Lewis was “an easygoing guy with great energy,” and that Kim’s “family likes him.”
The source added that she was “very into him, and the two were “both busy with their careers, but see each other as much as possible. It’s more than just a casual connection. It takes a lot to capture Kim’s interest and she’s definitely intrigued.”
