Lewis Hamilton has been rumoured to be dating Kim Kardashian after they were spotted together at the Super Bowl, and George Russell questioned the Ferrari driver
Formula One driver George Russell cheekily probed Lewis Hamilton about his celebrity love life, a topic on the minds of many motorsport enthusiasts. Russell playfully inquired if the veteran is ‘all loved up’ after he was seen with Kim Kardashian.
The seven-time F1 champion is speculated to have kindled a romance with the American reality star, and Hamilton was spotted alongside Kardashian at this year’s Super Bowl. Neither celebrity has spoken about a potential budding relationship.
Amid the rumours, Mercedes racer Russell let his curiosity take over and posed a question to the F1 icon as they prepared for their pre-season photoshoot.
In a video shared by his team’s X account, Russell can be seen hanging around his competitor before asking: “All loved up, or, what’s the latest?”.
The 28-year-old didn’t learn much, as the Ferrari driver gave away very little. He smiled at his colleague before shifting the conversation to ask where he should sit for the upcoming photographs.

This isn’t the first time Hamilton has avoided such a discussion. Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz previously disclosed that Hamilton did not want to discuss Kardashian on Wednesday, as the first official testing week kicked off in Bahrain.
Kravitz said: “I know what you’re thinking. ‘Kravitz, you chickened out of asking him about his new relationship with Kim Kardashian.'”.
“Well, I can tell you he was asked that in the written press. He was asked ‘Did you enjoy your company more than the game at the Super Bowl?’ And he said, ‘It’s my private life, I’m not talking about that.’ So that’s me told.”
Kravitz then added: “I was only going to ask if Kim was going to become a tifosi, like all Ferrari fans, but I chickened out. Quite right. He was never going to give me an answer though, was he?”.
Hamilton proved more forthcoming about matters on the circuit and is relishing the new car at his disposal. “We just have a less downforce,” he explained.
“But you still have to discover the grip. There’s still so many elements completely under our control.
“So, it’s just different, and new, and I still find it quite fun. The cars are more fun to drive. They’re easier to correct. So you have snaps and keep them on track. The previous year’s cars were a bit too on edge.”
