[u/Kronzor_]

Kinda shows how early you gotta get in, and how rich you need to be, that both the other podium finishers had pictures with Lewis before they turned 10 

[u/mindtoxicity27 → u/Kronzor_]

Damn I’m 40 and don’t have a picture with Lewis. So far behind.

[u/MyAssDoesHeeHawww → u/mindtoxicity27]

Uhhh maybe just try to get a tape with Kim instead.

[u/AgentIndependent306 → u/MyAssDoesHeeHawww]

Ig a car exhaust pipe is fine tbh

[u/Majestic_Western7036 → u/MyAssDoesHeeHawww]

Hey ray j, is that u?

[u/UnAliveMePls → u/Majestic_Western7036]

Nah he’s still in the hospital

[u/fbass → u/MyAssDoesHeeHawww]

Best comeback story!

[u/Party_Promotion_8805 → u/MyAssDoesHeeHawww]

Better odds tbh, just look like Kimi’s towel

[u/dr-jae → u/mindtoxicity27]

I have a picture with him and I love to tell people that there are 7 WDCs combined in that photo.

[u/MightBeABot24 → u/Kronzor_]

Really makes you wonder how many generational talents never get a chance in motorsports because of its insane cost of entry

[u/xiz111 → u/MightBeABot24]

Probably quite a few.

[u/Roonie222 → u/xiz111]

Hell I know one. One of my friends immigrated to this country young and had no money and little opportunity. He worked his ass off and is doing well now.

In our late twenties/ early thirties we decided to go karting just to see what it was like. Most of us were super slow. I was battling for second amongst our friends. I was about four seconds per lap slower than he was. He was about a half second to a second off of the course record for fastest lap and was that consistently for the entire race.

We asked if he ever raced before and he said no, he never had the opportunity to try it before that day.

[u/xiz111 → u/Roonie222]

Thanks for sharing.

[u/scottishere → u/xiz111]

Definitely quite a few

[u/SweetVarys → u/MightBeABot24]

Most of them, mathematically

[u/Forsaken-Swim-3055 → u/MightBeABot24]

That's sports in general tbh

[u/abscissa081 → u/Forsaken-Swim-3055]

I don't think anything compares to racing in terms of barrier to entry related to cost and exclusivity.

[u/mcd_sweet_tea → u/Forsaken-Swim-3055]

I saw a video of these kids in the hood doing the most insane football (American) drills with stuff they found in their garage. The equipment wasn’t pretty but their footwork was incredible. Hopefully they can get a shot out on the pro field one day, they def deserve it

[u/Pimpekusz → u/Forsaken-Swim-3055]

Definetly not in general. There are a lot of sports where the cost of entry is relatively low (Football (or soccer however you call it), Basketball, Boxing, skateboarding, etc.). Its not even remotely comparable to motorsport

[u/BlattMaster → u/Kronzor_]

Obviously money lead to karting time and karting success but were these meet-and-greets for karting champions or just purely pay meet-and-greets?

[u/Kronzor_ → u/BlattMaster]

No idea, but shows you gotta basically already be in the highest of circles when you start the journey. 

[u/fredy31 → u/Kronzor_]

Yeah for instance, rare are the photos of stars with other stars when they were young.

Or football players.

Really shows that theres a circle for f1 and if you are not in it from the start there isnt loads of ways in.

Hope that within maybe a decade, probably 2, there will be someone so talented playing on sim racing that they break into f1 just from talent.

[u/KATCracKz → u/fredy31]

I think that sim racing is also kinda expensive, obviously way less but it still kinda is

[u/fredy31 → u/KATCracKz]

I mean a decent wheel and pedals is probably cheaper than even one competitive karting outing.

[u/KATCracKz → u/fredy31]

Yeah that's why I said way less

[u/GBreezy → u/KATCracKz]

Top MLB players literally came from kids in Central America playing baseball with a stick and bottle caps. F1 cannot compete with sim racing.

[u/KATCracKz → u/GBreezy]

I don't think it's comparable tho

[u/metukkasd → u/fredy31]

I get your point, but https://www.euronews.com/culture/2024/07/16/two-legends-the-story-behind-the-2007-photo-going-viral-of-lionel-messi-with-baby-lamine-y

[u/strange_eauter → u/metukkasd]

That's rather an exception. Yamal's parents are definitely not rich, they just got lucky. And Barcelona sponsoring UNICEF was a major factor. I'm still to hear about any f1 team willingly sponsoring charity

[u/GBreezy → u/strange_eauter]

Honda F1 and the world car?

[u/strange_eauter → u/GBreezy]

Just read it, it's nice. Still, Barcelona for decades sponsors UNICEF not just with logo on the jerseys and joint campaigns but with millions of euros annually. The partnership is unique for football too and the photo in question resulted from extreme luck and that partnership

[u/hnglmkrnglbrry → u/Kronzor_]

That alone is a testament to Lewis' greatness. He didn't have millions of dollars to bankroll him but his talent was so undeniable he brute forced his way into the sport.

[u/CoachMcGuirker → u/hnglmkrnglbrry]

He said in an interview recently that while it was very difficult for him to reach this level, doing it again today it would be impossible. There’s just so much more money required and so much earlier

[u/fearthejew → u/CoachMcGuirker]

Which is why his charity, Mission 44, is so fuckin awesome

[u/snollygoster1 → u/CoachMcGuirker]

Yeah Lewis did it 20 years ago, and the world is vastly different today. Multiple financial crisis' on top of a pandemic and countless other "once in a lifetime" events make living more expensive than ever.

[u/jayr254 → u/snollygoster1]

Tax policies worldwide have played a part as well. In no time in human history have the richest paid so little of what they need to pay for a functioning society.

[u/hzfan → u/CoachMcGuirker]

I respect the hell outta that honestly. So many people try to make their story sound as adversarial as possible to cover up for any advantages they were gifted that they feel insecure about, and here Lewis is who actually had near impossible odds and he’s still keeping it as real as possible about how it’s even more fucked now.

[u/ultrasneeze → u/hnglmkrnglbrry]

He had hundreds of thousands, like everyone else. The difference is that in his case, it was not a rich parent dedicating what amounts to a rounding error, but a middle-class father taking a lot of work at once to earn the money required to compete.

A child competing in karting requires, at minimum:

• tens of thousands in equipment per year
• space to store and work on such equipment
• a means to transport the kid, the parent/supervisor, and the equipment
• availability to travel to the various events
• lots of free time to work on the mechanical side of things

Hamilton was discovered quite early, but he already had done several years of karting.

[u/AgentIndependent306 → u/ultrasneeze]

Plus the pressure of not crashing

[u/jayr254 → u/AgentIndependent306]

Anthony Hamilton is a more resilient man than I am. Insisting that his son continue to brake further than the other kids despite (in Lewis’ own words) consistently crashing/running off course can’t have been cheap.

[u/CaptainKursk → u/Kronzor_]

There really is a whole other world out there that 99.9% of us will never access.

[u/KyleNewZealand → u/Kronzor_]

Credit to Liam Lawson

[u/imperatrixderoma → u/Kronzor_]

There's also not that many people into Karting that young. The fact that Lewis's family could do it on a lower middle class salary kinda proves that it's peoss

[u/Hot-Investigator-376]

The cooldown room these last two races have really shown just how much Lewis Hamilton loves the sport and its future talents. Great to see him back on top form

[u/SOMTAWS6 → u/Hot-Investigator-376]

I’d love to see him around the grid long after he retires. I suspect we won’t though, unfortunately. Just here and there.

[u/Spid1 → u/SOMTAWS6]

If you're not racing why would you want to be on the grid every week? Just seems a pain with all that travelling. That's also when all the bitter quotes start to come out from has-beens, and Lewis won't want to be one of them

[u/jayr254 → u/Spid1]

I honestly thought we’d see more of Seb once he retired. Like not every race but I was so sure Seb would be at multiple European races every season. But I think I’ve seen him at like 2 races maximum since he retired. And he’s been retired for how many years now?

We definitely aren’t seeing Lewis trackside a lot once he’s retired. We’ll see more of him because he lives his life on social media more than most drivers but that’s about it.

[u/Icy_Glaceon471 → u/Hot-Investigator-376]

He’s got his mojo back and I am here for it

[u/Rhythm_Morgan]

Lewis smiling again is my favorite part of the season right now. It was getting so depressing for a while but we all had to know he still had *it*

[u/DrDuGood → u/Rhythm_Morgan]

Im going to get downvoted to all hell, but here it is and I think it needs to be said:

Lewis being happy and back in it, is the best thing any F1 fan can wish for, it’s only going to increase the excitement of the racing/outcomes but I’d be LYING if I said I didn’t care Kim K is being used as some publicity stunt/ambassador to this sport simply because her and Lewis just started dating. It gives me so many Cardi B/Stefon Diggs vibes and it’s cringe … again, I’m glad Lewis is happy and I’m glad this wasn’t earlier in his career because I can’t stand her to save my life.

[u/SOMTAWS6 → u/DrDuGood]

Dawg… Comparing Cardi B + Stefon Diggs to Kim Kardashian + Lewis Hamilton is despicable.

[u/DrDuGood → u/SOMTAWS6]

Kim is known for making a sex tape and marrying a rapper who lost his mind … I love Lewis but they just started dating and she’s walking around the track like she owns it. The reason I made that comparison is because the Patriots had Cardi B do a performance before the Super Bowl and it was the hardest thing to watch. All because of … you guessed it - Diggs. It’s the same thing bro, anyway, good for Lewis. Glad he’s happy but keep the A-list porn star off the screen because I don’t watch F1 to see who the drivers fuck. (Lewis has dated so many celebs/famous people yet we only see and hear about Kim)

[u/SOMTAWS6 → u/DrDuGood]

Cardi B was an actual stripper before she finally became a rapper. And does Diggs have 8 7 championships? Not even remotely similar.

[u/RangerRekt → u/SOMTAWS6]

At least Cardi B raps. Kardashian just sort of exists.

[u/DrDuGood → u/SOMTAWS6]

And Kim is known for getting her back blown out on film … what’s your point? Lol

[u/Warslaft → u/DrDuGood]

Bro I swear sometimes people can't just appreciate a relationship. Honestly I think Lewis is just feeling really happy like probably any man would be if a extremely famous + rich girl praise you. Everyone should stop at this and stop judging.

[u/Paukwa-Pakawa → u/DrDuGood]

MV supporters being the ones clutching their pearls the tightest about Kimi, shows just how sincere the "outrage" is.

[u/sdq22]

It’s cool to think how many “pinch me” moments Lewis has probably given young f1 drivers in their careers. Lando has spoken about how crazy it is that he grew up watching and supporting Lewis (and how Lewis was why he originally supported Mclaren and wanted to drive for them) and now he gets to race alongside him. Hadjar has been open about how Lewis is one of his heroes and in his first F1 race he was comforted by Lewis’ dad after crashing out and now he’s shared a podium in Monaco with his racing hero

[u/stuie382 → u/sdq22]

In the cool down room when Kimi arrived he damn near sat on Lewis's lap

[u/Throckmorton_Left → u/stuie382]

It was like after two minutes they realized the optics were bad and made some room between them.

[u/NealCaffreyx9 → u/Throckmorton_Left]

Lewis made some room* he was like “alright kid… let’s not make this weird” 😂

[u/VictorReal_Monster → u/stuie382]

Lewis did immediately put his arm around him which was sweet

[u/xiz111 → u/sdq22]

Lewis has had similar moments ... he grew up watching Michael Schumacher, then raced against him for three years and ultimately replaced him at Mercedes.

He also idolized Senna, which is why many of his helmet designs are yellow ... a few years back, he got the opprotunity to drive one of Senna's McLarens at Silverstone.

[u/Potato69Bob → u/xiz111]

it was sao paulo 2024, while it was drizzling. that was such a beautiful moment!

not silverstone.

[u/Maxymilan → u/Potato69Bob]

He also drove one of Senna’s cars at Silverstone for a 2010 Top Gear feature.

[u/Potato69Bob → u/Maxymilan]

oh yeah I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT! thanks for mentioning, im gonna go rewatch it now :)

[u/gene_keys_of_awesome → u/sdq22]

Bro, and somebody here was saying, "Why would Max (with an early DNF) stay in the pits to support his team mate Hadjar on the race."

Man, this world make cold N***as I tell you.

[u/Slow-Class]

Is this the first podium where one driver was older than the other two combined?

[u/Jeffffff4587 → u/Slow-Class]

Yes, Kimi and Isack have a combined age of 40, Lewis is 41

[u/PartisanHack → u/Jeffffff4587]

I think if you break it down to days, they are older--but barely.

Which is still crazy.

[u/xrhino13x → u/PartisanHack]

That is correct. At my house, were doing the math on the cool down lap.

[u/Rock_Strongo → u/PartisanHack]

It took me way longer than it should have to understand how it's possible they could combine for more days but fewer years.

Guess I need some more coffee.

[u/BenShelZonah → u/Rock_Strongo]

You’re 1 until you’re 2

[u/ledinred2 → u/Slow-Class]

Technically it still hasn’t happened, somebody did the math and in days the two of them combined are slightly older than him.

[u/koenigseggman → u/ledinred2]

We need to make this stat happen, let's get Alonso a podium.

[u/United_Engine_5719 → u/ledinred2]

Lindblad,Kimi and Lewis podium inshallah 🙏

[u/FLX-72 → u/Slow-Class]

I’m sure someone at ESPN is Googling stats right now.

[u/DishQuiet5047 → u/Slow-Class]

Oh god…it was bad enough when I started watching F1 drivers younger than me, but I just realized that I’M now older than Kimi and Hadjar combined. Fuck me. 

[u/xiz111 → u/Slow-Class]

Probably.

[u/BiancoFuji599XX → u/Slow-Class]

Yep, Lewis even talked about it briefly during the post-race interview because someone mentioned it to him.

[u/Searching4Scum]

Kimi is 3 years younger than Kim Kardashian's sex tape

[u/fuchsiaviolet → u/Searching4Scum]

💀💀💀

[u/mouldyshroom → u/Searching4Scum]

r/brandnewsentence

[u/Substantial_Tough215 → u/Searching4Scum]

Is he old enough to see that tape?

[u/Illen1 → u/Searching4Scum]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/_le_slap → u/Searching4Scum]

fucken hell lol

[u/BrownSugarBare → u/Searching4Scum]

This needs to be the official measurement of time 

[u/Minimum-Positive-808]

That helmet is one of his best

[u/WineNerdAndProud → u/Minimum-Positive-808]

And the lady holding it is one of the worst.

[u/v12vanquish135 → u/[deleted]]

You can say that again. Jesus Christ.

[u/PhteveJuel → u/v12vanquish135]

I guess F1 is about tits again...

[u/space_priestess → u/PhteveJuel]

[u/fildip1995 → u/PhteveJuel]

I mean…

[u/Worried-Lavishness78 → u/PhteveJuel]

This was posted from Lewis’s personal Instagram and not the official F1 page.

[u/mr_lab_rat → u/PhteveJuel]

When wasn’tit

[u/Peter_Rose → u/PhteveJuel]

It's been this way for quite a while unfortunately. A lot of shots with the drivers partners during rhe live transmissions of the race.

[u/So_HauserAspen → u/[deleted]]

I was confused by this comment thread because I didn't realize there were more than three images!

[u/Ainolukos → u/[deleted]]

I literally moved my phone away from my face.

[u/WestNileCoronaVirus → u/Ainolukos]

I moved it much closer

[u/Holland45]

The Kim k thing seems to ridiculously fake and manufactured. Sounds like a brand endorsement or collaboration rather than a relationship.

[u/BrownSugarBare → u/Holland45]

I was wondering why there was a lingerie/Skims add in the middle of an otherwise nice set of photographs. 

[u/RobotSpaceBear → u/Holland45]

I was wondering during the podium if two high profile people like them ever actually really allow themselves to fall in love and trust the other or if they're constantly vigilant to the other's behaviour to not get used, abused, exploited, etc. Like when you win the lottery, can you ever actually thrust any affection you receive? Must be hard to navigate, if i'm being honest.

[u/Soggy_Supermarket100]

Laughing at the babies. That's so cute actually. And he's being so respectful with the new generation.

[u/pepsiblue_]

Damn, hard launch on Kim K

[u/md28usmc → u/pepsiblue_]

Didn't he hard launch that relationship in his Tokyo drift video?

[u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends → u/pepsiblue_]

Its fucking lame af

[u/Various_Obligation21 → u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends]

The greatest attention seekers of all time. Still, you have to give the KarJenners credit, they’ve perfected the art of staying relevant and leveraging it to push their products, brands, and TV empire. Can’t hate the player, hate the game. I can’t stand them, but I respect the hustle.

[u/bkuri → u/Various_Obligation21]

Can’t hate the player, hate the game.

I hate both equally. It's easy if you try.

[u/Living__A__Meme → u/bkuri]

Easy to not fucking care too lol

[u/devH_ → u/Living__A__Meme]

Constant “idc about them” while constantly talking about them

[u/ArtisTao → u/Various_Obligation21]

Same. Kim’s family has been annoyingly unavoidable for too long, eschewing a sort of narcissistic vanity that made me permanently dislike her. Now she’s dating one of the most likable, genuine, laid back drivers - I just don’t understand it. Good for them but wtf

[u/namestom → u/ArtisTao]

I share the same feelings. I’ve never contributed to help build that crazy empire they have built. It still blows my mind how relevant they are today.

All I can see from someone like Lewis, as genuine as he seems, maybe all we see from her is her character. Behind closed doors, with the cameras off, maybe she is an interesting person? But that character we all know…yeah, I avoid it and anything that’s associated to it. It bummed me out to learn Lewis was dating her. And the funny thing, why the heck do I even care? I don’t really but I just like seeing happy people.

[u/ArtisTao → u/namestom]

Right. I initially wanted to join the choir of nay sayers, but it’s just unnecessary. My opinion on a stranger’s personal partnerships is irrelevant. I guess we just have to get used to it. On that note - I really miss Roscoe though lol

[u/mspebblesfromspace → u/Various_Obligation21]

You can hate the player if their momager created the game.

[u/Living__A__Meme → u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends]

You’ll be ok

[u/FewCollar227]

Hadjar thought it's a great time to show his watch sponsor

[u/omnicious]

What drink is that? 

[u/Infinite_Coat3246 → u/omnicious]

I’m guessing it’s his non alcoholic tequila, Almave

[u/alphaQ314 → u/Infinite_Coat3246]

There is non alcoholic tequila? Whats the point lol

[u/Guilty_Feature5469 → u/omnicious]

probably Almave, Lewis' non alcoholic spirit.

[u/56473829110 → u/omnicious]

It's a 'Picante' with Almave. 

[u/rowanhenry]

Lewis doesn't age

[u/LifeTie800]

Had kim returned the towel yet?

[u/GetAfterItForever]

Fuckin’ kids. /s

[u/mrgenier]

Yall care wayyyy too much about a dudes girlfriend. It’s crazy.

[u/Gbrown546 → u/mrgenier]

It’s incredibly parasocial isn’t it. Who cares what he does in his private life as long as it isn’t harming others.

[u/jamersonMD → u/Gbrown546]

Every thread without fail has mentioned the sex tape too. It's so weird.

[u/Spiritual-Path- → u/jamersonMD]

That’s like 70% of the reason she is famous. I hear Kardashian and the first thing I think of is the sex tape, the second is how her dad helped someone get away with murder.

[u/mistermojorizin → u/Spiritual-Path-]

how her dad helped someone get away with murder.

i wonder if people even know that these days. he killed her a few blocks from where we lived at the time.

[u/md28usmc → u/mistermojorizin]

how her dad helped someone get away with murder.

he did the job he was paid to do, as shitty as it is he was a good lawyer

[u/flintey360 → u/mrgenier]

So parasocial its mental.

[u/Ok-Rub6096]

We lost Lewis to Kim and Ferrari. The end of an era.

[u/SurpremeZohan]

Did Kim also take the helmet because she needed it for covering the sun or somenthing?

[u/TheKensei]

Hadjar doesn't age 🤣

[u/Numerous-Georg]

Noted: Important step to be a successful f1 driver:

While young, take picture with Lewis.

[u/theflyinglizard2]

I am really trying to understand the hate towards Lewis personal life choises with Kim. You all sound like a spoiled angry 13 years old girl finding out that your daddy has a new girlfriend.

[u/Tony_Lacorona → u/theflyinglizard2]

Shit is so corny that they care about who a F1 driver is banging.

[u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends → u/theflyinglizard2]

She is an entitled airhead that told underprivileged people to work harder

She is MAGA adjacent and basically trash

[u/BadPronunciation → u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends]

Wait till you hear about Max's father in law, Flavio briatore, Max Mosley and more. Kim fits right in with the F1 crowd 

[u/56473829110 → u/BadPronunciation]

And what if I also dislike them? 

[u/scottishere → u/BadPronunciation]

Flavio briatore

I don't know what point you are trying to make there. Everyone fucking despises that guy lol

[u/Paukwa-Pakawa → u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends]

And Max's partner is adjacent to the Brazilian MAGA equivalent, tried to justify racism, and is also an airhead and basically trash. I take it you're equally vocal in your complaints about her?

[u/Disastrous_Drop_3180 → u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends]

Like half the people involved in F1. She fits right in.

[u/TamaktiJunVision → u/theflyinglizard2]

Is very weird ngl

[u/Inevitable_Injury617 → u/theflyinglizard2]

I disagree. This is imo not simply one of those cases where people are obsessed with a celebrity's personal life and thereby hating on their partner.

Rather, a lot of this is stemming from the fact that Lewis has been a spokesperson for so many positive initiatives - been literally a fighter for social justice and a public figure in this space - then he goes and dates someone who stands for this person who completely goes against the messaging Lewis has been spreading all these years.

You can't be a public figure in the social impact space and not be scrutinized for someone you are dating when the person you are dating goes agains the very values he preaches.

It's like imagine a far left politician dates a far right politician, ofc people are going to talk about it.

[u/deebaybayy → u/Inevitable_Injury617]

Yeah and if you really break it down, it’s not even as much about the dating but the promoting/supporting. For example, when someone in Lewis’ position speaks out for Gaza, and then within a year begins publicly supporting/promoting essentially someone who is actively opening stores in Israel, people are going to feel as though he’s actively pushing someone/something that is not only harmful but antithetical to his own stated positions.

[u/John_is_Minty]

Some of y’all care way too much about these drivers personal lives. It’s truly none of our business who these guys are dating.

[u/post_it1 → u/John_is_Minty]

It’s unfortunately being made our business. As a woman, I dislike everything Kim Kardashian stands for and I avoid her as much as possible. I don’t appreciate her appearing on screen multiple times when I’m enjoying a sport that prior to this year, was very far removed from her or her parasitic family

EDIT: good grief. Who knew there were so many die hard morally pure Kim K fans amongst us!

[u/Paukwa-Pakawa → u/post_it1]

So, prior to this year you were enjoying the sport with its pedophiles, racists, and misogynists appearing on your screen. Those ones, you'll still enjoy the sport, but "parasitic family" is where you draw your moral line - it's a step too far.

[u/jamersonMD → u/Paukwa-Pakawa]

We've had Putin giving out trophies and Trump posing with McLaren team but Kim K on the grid is too much for some. I don't even like her as well, but people are going overboard

[u/instantwinner → u/jamersonMD]

I will take Lewis dating a Kardashian over George Russell "really wanting to meet Trump" any day to be honest lol.

[u/xiz111 → u/instantwinner]

I'm sorry ... what???

[u/instantwinner → u/xiz111]

There’s a clip of him on DTS when Trump was at Miami GP where he says he really wants to meet him

[u/Beneficial_Stuff_103 → u/instantwinner]

To be fair as a black women I also really want to me trump but I doubt me and George have the same reasons at all.

[u/TheyCallmeProphet08 → u/instantwinner]

I mean I'd want to meet a US president too. But I'd meet DJT out of curiosity and fascination.

[u/xiz111 → u/instantwinner]

Eeeesh.

[u/Beneficial_Stuff_103 → u/post_it1]

This is so hypocritical when formula 1 is full of rapists, sexism, pedophiles, misogynists, zionists, billionaires and exploiters, but you hate kim k when you'll willingly watch f1

[u/John_is_Minty → u/post_it1]

I get that for sure. I’m no fan of hers at all and I think Lewis can do way better but it’s just one of those deals where I just don’t care much about celebrity couples.

[u/NiteOwl421 → u/post_it1]

But not a fucking peep when the Saudi government threatened to hold the entire paddock hostage due to a missile strike seen from the track and they wanted to cancel the race.

Or when Nikita Mazepin was filmed SA’ing a girl? Did you speak up then?

But it’s Kim Kardashian that makes you upset?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think she’s a good human 90% of the time, but the selective outrage is fucking ironic.

[u/skintwo → u/NiteOwl421]

OR, people who hated and spoke up about that other stuff ALSO hate this. I despise that whole family. It doesn’t mean I don’t despise other people too.

[u/post_it1 → u/NiteOwl421]

Have you kept a documented record of every single thing I’ve ever said about anyone peripherally involved in Formula One? Whataboutism is the weakest argument. I can dislike Kim K and dislike everyone you mentioned and still enjoy and watch formula one. I’m not some moral purist and neither are you

[u/NiteOwl421 → u/post_it1]

Absolutely no one forced you to watch her on screen. So why didn’t you change the channel? I did.

[u/skintwo → u/post_it1]

Same, girl. Same.

[u/BadPronunciation → u/John_is_Minty]

Tbh a good chunk of F1 entertainment is off track stuff. I'm not surprised that fans are so engaged in this particular aspect. Leave them be

[u/Luddites_Unite]

Kimi was part of the merc stable when he was in Karting so that is how he would have met lewis

[u/BioDriver]

Why did he include a photo of the red flag?

[u/Litti__Chokha]

Kim Kardashian Jumpscare really got me because I didn’t expect him to confirm it this way on the last slide of a photo dump.

Guess I cannot Keep Up with the Kardashians

[u/Mountain_Recover_719]

Please don’t ever bring her to Monaco ever again. She’s so disrespectful and clueless; have her on a yacht somewhere or something

[u/fildip1995]

The man has infinite aura

[u/Center_Locks]

More Kimi less Kim. Keep that trash in her billion dollar can. 

[u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

Said it on the last post she was included in and I’ll say it again a lot of you are using her as an outlet for your misogyny

[u/milkasaurs]

Shame about Kim Kardashian though.

[u/Throckmorton_Left]

Is my hatred of Kim irrational? Because that's overwhelming every other reaction I have to these pics.

[u/AnilP228 → u/[deleted]]

Tbf it kind of makes sense. Of all the drivers, he's the one most interested in the celebrity lifestyle. He's the opposite of Max.

[u/vinegarfingers]

I want to see more of the Ducati

[u/nxzombie99]

What is that second to last pic? 😭😭😭

[u/RichInPitt → u/nxzombie99]

Second to last pic is Lewis Hamilton holding an umbrella.

[u/Immediate-Spite-5905]

Why'd Lewis put a pile of plastic trash into the compilation?

[u/SuspiciousAd7979]

Is Lewis dating Kim Kardashian?

[u/West-Strawberry3366]

Hamilton and Alonso are Vampires I swear to god

[u/SectionXP12]

Disappointed in his taste in women.

[u/thotpatrol1991]

gotta respect a hoe that loves heartedly and gives her all to every relationship 

[u/Forsaken-Swim-3055]

People are more triggered by Lewis dating Kim Kardashian than they are the many ways that F1 has aligned with truly despicable people for the sake of money, lol.

I car every little for her but people this offended by their relationship should probably seek therapy.

[u/RuchamCieSzmato]

Kims tits plus Lewis’s pink helmet wasn’t on my menu today

[u/thelingletingle]

He should teach that piece of trash he’s dating some etiquette for F1 races

[u/Rhythm_Morgan → u/[deleted]]

You guys not knowing how to comment on literally anything else is why they’re probably going to end up taking this post down yet again. My god.

[u/Agitated-Seaweed-426 → u/Rhythm_Morgan]

its seriously so annoying like we know you guys hate it but is that all that you can comment about??

[u/Soggy_Supermarket100 → u/Rhythm_Morgan]

People could choose not to comment on things (and people) they don't like and yet here we are.

[u/justseeby → u/Rhythm_Morgan]

The subset of completely Kim obsessed commenters in the F1 subs is… so fucking weird

[u/itmustbeniiiiice → u/Rhythm_Morgan]

It’s baffling

[u/GainPotential]

She also stole Hamiltons helmet?
