Lewis Hamilton just claimed what might be the sweetest victory of his career—and he had his biggest cheerleaders right there to witness it. The Formula 1 legend captured his first Ferrari win at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix on Sunday, June 14, a moment that meant infinitely more thanks to the people cheering him on trackside and from home.
Kim Kardashian, 45, wasted no time celebrating her boyfriend’s triumph, posting triumphant emojis to her Instagram Stories alongside a photo of Hamilton being celebrated by his team. But the real magic was happening in the family watch party, where Chicago West, 8, and her cousin True—also 8—were practically jumping through the living room with pure joy as they watched the race unfold on TV. Their unfiltered excitement captured something genuine that you don’t always see in celebrity life: kids just thrilled for someone they care about.
This Ferrari moment marks a significant chapter in Hamilton’s story, and it lands at a time when his personal life has shifted just as dramatically as his professional trajectory. Us Weekly confirmed in February that Kim and Hamilton had moved from a long-time friendship into something more romantic. They went Instagram official this month, and Hamilton’s public comments about the relationship have been surprisingly thoughtful. At the Monaco Grand Prix earlier in June, he told reporters:“It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support…she does that for me every day.”No ego, no performative declarations—just genuine gratitude.
The Monaco experience itself painted a picture of how this relationship has blended into both of their worlds. Kim and her sister Khloe Kardashian, 41, spent the weekend trackside in matching Ferrari-red earmuffs, captured moments of pure sisterhood along the French Riviera, and Kim even posted a cheeky photo of herself kissing one of Hamilton’s race helmets. When Hamilton finished second in that race, he blew Kim a kiss from the podium—a small gesture that said everything about where his mind was in that moment.
What’s striking here isn’t just the romance or the celebrity factor. It’s how seamlessly this partnership has integrated into both their families. Chicago and True watching and celebrating, Khloe sharing the joy across her platform, Hamilton speaking openly about having“good people”around him—it all points to something that feels less like a tabloid headline and more like two people who genuinely complement each other’s lives. The Ferrari victory becomes more than a professional milestone; it’s a shared celebration with people who actually matter to him. And isn’t that what makes any win truly golden?
