Key Highlights:
- Kim Kardashian and Sky Sports broadcaster Martin Brundle shared a lighthearted exchange during the Sunday grid walk ahead of the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix.
- The interaction cleared the air following an awkward encounter at the Monaco Grand Prix earlier in the season, where Kardashian chose to stay silent.
- Kardashian attended the Marina Bay Circuit to support her partner, Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton, who qualified third for Sunday’s main event.
The build-up to the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix featured a much-anticipated reconciliation on the track apron, as reality television star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian finally took part in an interview with seasoned Formula 1 broadcaster Martin Brundle. Caught up amidst the bustling atmosphere of the Sunday grid walk at the Marina Bay Circuit, Kardashian was in the paddock to support her partner, Scuderia Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton.
The encounter decisively put to rest the viral awkwardness from earlier in the season at the Monaco Grand Prix. During that weekend in the principality, Brundle approached Kardashian just as reports concerning her high-profile relationship with the seven-time world champion were beginning to surface. On that occasion, Kardashian opted not to engage, remaining silent as she took in the race surroundings.
Clearing the Air on the Marina Bay Grid
The mood was entirely different under the Singapore floodlights as Brundle initiated the conversation with a warm greeting.
Brundle approached the star: “Hello, Kim. How are you?” he asked.
Addressing the previous tension head-on with self-deprecating humor, Kardashian was quick to laugh off the past incident.
“Did I not know the rules? Did we get off on the wrong foot?” Kardashian joked as they both laughed with each other, with Brundle responding: “No, it’s absolutely fine. It’s great to have you here, Kim, at this grand prix. What are your thoughts on the exciting world of Formula 1?”
“I think it’s amazing, and fun, and wild, and something I’ve never seen before,” she told Brundle eagerly. “It’s amazing.”
Backing Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Weekend
Following her reflections on the sport, Brundle turned the focus of the brief interview toward Hamilton’s current competitive form with Ferrari. Hamilton entered Sunday on a positive trajectory, having secured a second-place finish behind Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen in Saturday’s Singapore sprint race.
Brundle highlighted that her partner was in fine form, prompting an encouraging reaction from Kardashian.
“He is [in great form],” she answered. “I’m just praying for the best tonight.”
When Brundle asked if Hamilton seemed confident heading into the Grand Prix, she confirmed the positive atmosphere in the garage.
“Yes, very confident. And so am I. Just got to pray for the best.” And that’s where the brief conversation ended.
Why This Matters
The intersection of Formula 1’s racing paddock and global celebrity culture has expanded significantly, driven by commercial growth and major public profile moments like Lewis Hamilton’s high-profile tenure at Ferrari. Hamilton and Kardashian have made multiple public appearances together throughout the season, with the British driver previously acknowledging her presence at the circuit after finishing second behind Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli at Monaco: “It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support.”
On the sporting side, Hamilton’s third-place starting position on Sunday—lining up directly behind pole-sitter Max Verstappen and Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc in second—put the Scuderia in strong contention to challenge Verstappen’s momentum following the Dutchman’s sprint victory at Marina Bay.
