Kim Kardashian Caught Taking Kimi Antonelli’s Towel After Monaco Grand Prix Victory

Kim Kardashian turned heads at the Monaco Grand Prix for more reasons than just her high-profile appearance alongside Lewis Hamilton in the paddock.
Speculation about Hamilton and Kardashian dating has been running wild since February, fuelled by a series of public outings over the last several months.
Her appearance at Monaco marked the first time she had attended a Formula 1 race weekend, and she would have been delighted to see Hamilton finish second for Ferrari behind race winner Kimi Antonelli.
Hamilton made no effort to hide his delight at having Kardashian there, giving her a public kiss on the cheek after the race and blowing a kiss to her from the podium.
However, an eagle-eyed fan spotted something far more controversial happening in the moments after the race concluded near the podium area.
As Kardashian walked past the area prepared for the top three finishers, she unashamedly took a towel that had been supplied for Mercedes race winner Kimi Antonelli.
A photographer appeared to confront her over the cheeky act, but after a brief exchange Kardashian still walked away with the towel firmly in hand.
Fans online were quick to react with fury, with one writing: “How do you even pick something up that is clearly not meant for you?? Lewis Hamilton, please leave her at home next time.”
Another fan took a broader view of the incident, saying: “True Billionaire behaviour. Do whatever you want, assume it is OK. Someone will deal with any consequences. I’m sure that towels are in plentiful supply at the Monaco GP.”
The towel incident came on top of an already controversial weekend for Kardashian, with some fans still angry about her reportedly snubbing Martin Brundle during his famous grid walk interview segment.
One fan connected both incidents, stating: “After the way she treated Brundle and now this, she shouldn’t be allowed back.”
A small number of fans attempted to defend her behaviour, with one pointing out that Antonelli had already finished on the podium and therefore no longer needed the towel.
Hamilton showed no signs of being bothered by the controversy surrounding Kardashian’s presence, singing her praises in the post-race press conference.
Hamilton said: “It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support, but with my friends, incredible turnout just overall with people.”
He continued: “And yeah, I don’t really 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.”
