F1 fans think Kim Kardashian’s presence will give Lewis Hamilton a big Singapore GP boost
F1 fans and media are speculating that the presence of Kim Kardashian at the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix is positively influencing Lewis Hamilton's performance. Hamilton has shown strong form throughout the weekend, securing high positions in qualifying and sprint races.
Why it matters
The intersection of celebrity culture and professional sports often drives fan engagement and media narratives surrounding athlete performance.
Kim Kardashian is in the paddock for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix to support her boyfriend and Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton has been in great form all weekend, finishing P2 in the sprint race despite qualifying P6, and dominating regular qualifying until Q3, where he finished P3 behind Max Verstappen and teammate Charles Leclerc.
Even with a slight misstep to end qualifying, Hamilton has been one of the most in-form drivers this weekend, and fans think the presence of Kardashian is one of the key reasons behind his success.
Kardashian's last Paddock appearance this season was at the Monaco GP, where the 45-year-old watched Hamilton secure a podium finish after a strong weekend.
Fans are hoping for a repeat of that luck with Hamilton looking racey and Kardashian watching on.
"Kim shows up – bro went from P6 to P2," observed one fan about the sprint race.
