At the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, reality‑TV star Kim Kardashian finally spoke with veteran Formula 1 commentator Martin Brundle. The meeting came after Brundle reported being ignored by Kardashian during his grid‑walk at the Monaco Grand Prix in June.
From Monaco snub to Singapore conversation
Brundle said he approached Kardashian, who is often seen alongside her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, but received no response. “Did I not know the rules? Did we get off on the wrong foot?” Brundle recalled asking. Kardashian replied that it was “absolutely fine” and later offered a face‑to‑face apology at the Singapore event.
Kardashian’s thoughts on Formula 1 and Hamilton
When Brundle asked what she thought of the “crazy world of Formula 1,” Kardashian responded, “I think it’s amazing and fun and wild, and something I’ve never seen before. It’s amazing.” She also commented on Hamilton’s performance, saying he was “in great form” and that she was “praying for the best tonight.” Kardashian added that Hamilton was “very confident” before the race, echoing her own hopes for a safe and successful event.
Race results and fan reactions
The Singapore Grand Prix was won by Max Verstappen, while Lewis Hamilton finished sixth. Fans noted Kardashian’s brief appearance and her supportive remarks toward Hamilton, highlighting the crossover appeal of celebrity culture and motorsport.
Brundle praised Kardashian for setting aside the earlier snub and engaging in a courteous exchange. “You’re braver than I am if you’re able to do that,” he said, acknowledging the unusual nature of the encounter.
Context and future appearances
The interview did not address the earlier controversy involving Kardashian allegedly taking a post‑race towel from young driver Kimi Antonelli at Monaco, an incident that remains unresolved. Nonetheless, the Singapore conversation demonstrated a willingness from both parties to move past the prior misunderstanding.
As the Formula 1 season continues, Kardashian’s brief foray into the sport may attract additional attention from fans who follow both the racing world and celebrity culture. Whether she will engage further with drivers or teams remains to be seen.
