F1 driver Liam Lawson recently weighed in on the circulating rumors that Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian are romantically involved. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion was reportedly seen with Kardashian multiple times this month, sparking widespread speculation about a possible relationship.
The rumors began earlier in February after the pair apparently spent time together in London. Following that, they were spotted arriving jointly at a Paris hotel in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. The speculation intensified on February 8, when Hamilton and Kardashian were seated together and interacting during the Super Bowl game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
During an interview on the Gypsy Tales podcast, Lawson recounted hearing about the rumors from his girlfriend, Hannah St. John.
“Dude, Hannah has been talking about this today,” said Lawson. “Like literally today, she was like, ‘Liam, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are dating now.'” ?Liam Lawson, F1 Driver
Despite hearing this news, Lawson expressed uncertainty, asking the host if these reports were confirmed or just rumors.
“Is it official? Is it rumors or is it legit?” ?Liam Lawson, F1 Driver
The podcast host clarified that the relationship was unconfirmed and then asked Lawson about what impact such a high-profile relationship might have on Formula 1’s global recognition, considering Kardashian’s massive international fame.
“It’s great for the sport, to be fair,” Lawson replied. “Great for the sport, probably. I mean, the sport has grown so much in the last few years. I don’t know how it can be bad for the sport.” ?Liam Lawson, F1 Driver
While Lawson was supportive if the relationship were true, he also expressed skepticism about the widespread rumors.
“But like again, if it’s legit, that’s great. I’m, you know, stoked for them, but so many things come out that are just, you know, that are not [true]… like 90% of what you read or maybe even more, ‘cuz I get people texting me like, it’s my family, sometimes my parents even like, ‘Liam!’ and I’m like, ‘It’s not true.’ Just honestly, stop reading it. It’s not true,'” he stated. ?Liam Lawson, F1 Driver
Lewis Hamilton Declines to Comment on Dating Speculations
Lewis Hamilton remained silent on the rumors when questioned during the first preseason F1 testing of 2026 in Bahrain, held between February 11 and February 13. In media sessions preceding the start of the tests, Hamilton was asked about his recent public appearances with Kim Kardashian and the dating speculations arising from them.
The British driver, currently with Ferrari, declined to discuss his personal life.
“I don’t comment on those sorts of things, private life.”
Sources indicate Hamilton and Kardashian have been acquainted for over ten years. The 40-year-old racer was once rumored to have dated Kardashian’s sister, Kendall Jenner, though neither side ever confirmed that speculation.
The Stakes for Lewis Hamilton in the 2026 F1 Season
Hamilton faces a pivotal season as he aims to recover after an underwhelming 2025 campaign with Ferrari. A strong performance this year appears critical for extending his career, as any further decline could prompt him to retire from Formula 1 following the 2026 season.
The emergence of dating rumors with a high-profile figure like Kim Kardashian adds an extra layer of public interest around Hamilton during this crucial period. The potential increase in mainstream attention could influence how the sport is perceived globally, though Hamilton appears focused on separating his private affairs from his professional responsibilities on the track.
