Haas driver Esteban Ocon took a cheeky dig at fellow F1 star Lewis Hamilton for his rumored relationship with famed American television personality Kim Kardashian while playing a game of fill in the blanks. Ocon ranked Hamilton as the most likely to appear on a reality TV show, joking about a “Keeping Up With the Hamiltons” show, alluding to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”.
Lewis Hamilton had dominated multiple headlines in 2026 before the F1 season even kicked off. This was due to a recent change in his personal life, as the Briton has been heavily rumored to be dating famous American media personality, Kim Kardashian.
While neither has officially confirmed the relationship, and Hamilton has refused to comment about his personal life when asked about the potential romance, the pair have been spotted together at numerous venues over the last couple of months. They were seated together at Super Bowl LX in February and were even spotted shopping together in Tokyo, ahead of the recent Japanese GP.
Now, fellow F1 driver Esteban Ocon has taken a cheeky dig at the rumored relationship. While playing a game of Fill in the Blanks for the official F1 YouTube channel, the Frenchman was asked which driver on the current grid would be most likely to appear on a reality TV show. Ocon replied, saying:
“I don’t know if i should say that but, Lewis? Keeping up with the Hamiltons?”
During the game, Esteban Ocon also ranked Lewis Hamilton as the most likely to pick up the bill after a dinner. This sentiment was also shared by numerous other drivers, including Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz, Oscar Piastri, Sergio Perez, and Gabriel Bortoleto, seemingly based on their experience from the popular drivers’ dinners in previous years.
Lewis Hamilton teases Ferrari-related update as he poses with the F40
Lewis Hamilton teased a Ferrari-related update via his social media on Tuesday, as he posed with the iconic Ferrari F40. The 41-year-old had arrived with the legendary car at the Yokohama Car Meet last week, following the Japanese Grand Prix.
Now, Hamilton has shared a bit of a teaser for his fans as he shared numerous photos from the event via Instagram, posing in front of the $4 Million car, as he ambiguously wrote:
“To be continued…….”
At the event, Lewis Hamilton also reflected on his love for Yokohama and Japan in general, saying that he is fascinated by the country’s culture and even mentioned that he would like to live in Japan someday. He also explained that he had a lot of fun driving the Ferrari F40 around the city and shared his passion for the country’s racing culture.
Hamilton attended the event following the Japanese GP, which was not exactly fruitful for the driver. He finished the race in P6, a disappointing result after a decent start to the 2026 F1 season for the veteran.
