Kim Kardashian joined the celebration under the Formula 1 podium after Lewis Hamilton’s second place at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton secured his second consecutive podium, and third of the season, with a strong move to second place behind Mercedes’ Andrea Kimi Antonelli in Sunday’s chaotic race in Monaco.
Hamilton overcame a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane to take second place in the second race in a row and equal Ayrton Senna’s record of eight podium finishes on the iconic streets of Monte Carlo.

Sunday’s race ended in dramatic circumstances after two safety cars and a red flag to investigate part of the track surface broke up at the final corner.
It resumed with a stopped restart, but Hamilton was unable to overtake Antonelli for his first victory since joining Ferrari and instead had to settle for second place.
Kardashian cheered Hamilton on all weekend and the reality TV star was seen below the podium celebrating, seemingly confirming romance rumors between the couple.
The 41-year-old Brit was seen blowing a kiss in Kardashian’s direction after collecting his second-place trophy.
After months of being seen together and dating speculation, Kardashian made her first appearance in the F1 paddock for qualifying day in Monaco.
The 45-year-old American watched qualifying with Ferrari headphones as Hamilton took third place on the grid.
Kardashian returned for the race and was seen on the grid, although she and her entourage declined a television interview with Sky Sports F1’s Martin Brundle before the race.

Hamilton said it’s “amazing” to have Kardashian supporting him, adding that “she does it for me every day.”
“It’s amazing to have her here this weekend and to have her support,” Hamilton said at the post-race press conference. “But with my friends, there was an incredible turnout in general, the people. I really don’t know what else to say.”
“It’s amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day.”
Hamilton has moved up to second in the drivers’ championship standings with his second place in Monaco, leaving him 66 points behind Antonelli and two points ahead of his former Mercedes teammate George Russell.
