F1 Drivers Go The Kim Kardashian Way When Met With A Reality TV Question

Apr 3, 2026, 2:15 PM CUT

F1 fans do not just track lap times as they are obsessed with drivers' personal lives, from Lando's golf swings to Lewis Hamilton's vegan ventures and off-track romances. This behind-the-scenes frenzy, blending high-speed drama with lifestyle peeks, screams potential for a blockbuster reality TV show, akin to Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Well, recently, the drivers just dropped their picks as to who could star in such a show.

F1 amped up its playful side with a recent promotional video asking drivers, "Who's most likely to go on a reality TV show?" The responses kicked off with a wave of nods to Lando Norris, the affable McLaren star whose cheeky personality and social media savvy make him a natural fit for unscripted antics. Fans and teammates alike pegged him as the one ready to trade pit stops for confessionals.

Picks then diversified to rising talents like Liam Lawson, George Russell, and Pierre Gasly, whose charisma and off-track style scream reality TV gold. Think dramatic dating segments or luxury lifestyle reveals. But the real twist came when Esteban Ocon boldly named Lewis Hamilton, quipping, "Keeping Up with the Hamiltons" as a nod to the Kardashian empire.

Ocon's call sparked a chain reaction, with several other drivers piling on to second Hamilton, imagining the seven-time champ spilling vegan recipes, fashion hauls, and F1 drama in true celebrity fashion. The video's lighthearted roast highlights F1's evolving star power, blending elite racing with pop culture flair à la Kim Kardashian's reality dominance.

While F1 stars joke about stepping into reality TV, the Kardashian reality TV blueprint has just extended to family stages

North West Joins Kanye West On Stage at Bully Concert

It was seen in North West's recent spotlight at her father Kanye West's sold-out Bully concert at SoFi Stadium on April 1, 2026, that much like the Kardashian empire, the collaboration between the Kardashians and the West is also set for complete headline domination. The 12-year-old joined Kanye West onstage for two songs during the massive two-night kickoff to his comeback tour, performing in front of 70,000 fans in a heartwarming father-daughter moment amid high-energy tracks like 'Piercing on My Hand' and classics such as 'All of the Lights.'

West's 'Bully', released March 28 via YZY and Gamma, marks a raw, well-produced return with guests like Travis Scott, Don Toliver, and André Troutman on cuts such as 'Father' and 'All the Love'. The SoFi show, his first U.S. performance since 2021, featured a sprawling set blending 'Bully' debuts with hits like 'Black Skinhead', 'Power', and 'Runaway'.

Teasing a dome-shaped floating stage and explosive visuals for the global tour ahead. Like F1 drivers envisioning "Keeping Up with the Hamiltons" in Kardashian style, Ye and North's SoFi spectacle embodies that unfiltered family drama under stadium lights, where raw talent meets celebrity legacy.
