Formula One’s Monaco Grand Prix weekend is a staple for celebrity appearances and regularly attracts high-profile guests. However, not every grid-side interaction goes as planned. Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle was left in an awkward moment ahead of the race when he tried to speak to Kim Kardashian during his traditional grid walk. 

Kardashian seemed to have ignored Brundle during the interaction. She was in Monaco to support Lewis Hamilton, who is in his first season with Ferrari. Brundle walked up to Kardashian at the front of the grid and asked how she was doing. 

He initially asked, “How are you today?” Kardashian refused to engage with Brundle, who again asked, “Are you enjoying Formula One?” In the meantime, Brundle was pushed by somebody and reacted sarcastically, saying, “Don’t push me, mate, I’m nearly famous.” 

However, the television personality didn’t answer either question, leaving the veteran broadcaster to move on. That brief exchange soon became one of the most talked-about moments of the pre-race build-up. The incident adds to Brundle’s long list of memorable celebrity encounters during Formula One grid walks. 

Meanwhile, Kardashian's presence in Monaco drew even more attention as she was there to support her boyfriend, Hamilton. The duo have been linked since early 2026. They have regularly made headlines with their appearances at major sporting and entertainment events. The collaboration has become one of the most talked-about celebrity pairings of the year, uniting two globally recognized figures from very different worlds.

Their Monaco Grand Prix appearance was the latest chapter in a relationship that has continued to generate headlines.

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton's relationship continues to attract attention 

During this season, Kim Kardashian has been spotted at a number of Formula One events with Lewis Hamilton. Her appearance at the Monaco GP has only added to the public interest in the relationship. Fans of both motorsport and entertainment have been talking about the couple, who have made frequent high-profile appearances.

Though neither Kardashian nor Hamilton has shared much about their personal lives, their public outings have kept it front and center. The dating rumors first started when the pair were spotted together during Super Bowl weekend in February. Then they were seen on several trips and outings in the months that followed. 

The two are said to be friends and have known each other for years, but their relationship only became public recently. The pair were allegedly spotted together in locations including Paris, the Cotswolds, and New York City. With each public appearance, the speculation about their romance has only intensified. 

Meanwhile, the Monaco Grand Prix appearance made headlines for more than just the action on the course. Kardashian’s awkward interaction with Brundle soon became a talking point, and the fact that she was with Hamilton only heightened the intrigue around it. The incident and the couple’s high-profile appearance meant there was plenty for both Formula One and entertainment fans.

Did Kim Kardashian's presence at the Monaco Grand Prix become as much a talking point as the race itself? Let us know in the comments.
