Kim Kardashian was among those celebrating on Sunday (14.06.26) after her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton won the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.

The 45-year-old reality star has been a regular fixture in the A-list crowds watching her beau take to the track in recent weeks, and couldn't hide her excitement as Lewis secured his first win for Ferrari.

Taking to her Instagram page, Kim shared a snap of Lewis being cheered as he pulled in after his victory, alongside a simple winner's cup and red heart emoji.

Lewis' win comes after a difficult year following his move from Mercedes to Ferrari, which left him questioning his position in his field and even suggesting that Ferrari should get a new driver.

But it seems the 41-year-old's recent happiness may have contributed to his success on Sunday.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, with whom Lewis won six of his seven world champion titles, mused: "I saw him on the podium, on the telly. I mean, that face shows me that he's very happy.

"Maybe the girlfriend helps. Helped me to have a partner that you have a stable family life, and they seem to be getting on really well.

"I think it's all of those factors that put together the emotional and the personal and professional perspective. If they are in a good place, you win."

 

Lewis has also himself thanked Kim for her support in the past, saying at the Monaco Grand Prix: "It's amazing to have her come this weekend and have her support. "My friends [in general]. It was an incredible turnout overall.

"I don't know what else to say. It's amazing to have good people around you and supporting you. And she does that for me every day."

Kim and Lewis were first romantically linked at the beginning of this year, but had their first public appearance together at the 2026 Super Bowl in February.

Speaking after his victory in Barcelona, Lewis struggled to hold back tears on the podium as he said that the criticism he'd received last year had an impact on his self-confidence.,

He said: "After a year like last year. there were definitely moments that I was like, 'Sheesh, maybe it is true that, you know, when you get to a certain point, you lose it.' But I've proven that you don't. You always have it and it just takes work."

The win was even more impressive considering that Lewis is only the fourth driver in his 40s to win a Formula One race since 1958, following Graham Hill in 1969, Sir Jack Brabham in 1970 and Nigel Mansell in 1994.
