Toto Wolff linked Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari breakthrough to momentum, confidence, and his reported relationship with Kim Kardashian. The Mercedes boss said the seven-time champion looked happy after winning the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
A new report said Hamilton’s first Ferrari victory came after a difficult 2025 season. Wolff also joked that Kardashian may be helping his stability away from the track. The line quickly turned the win into F1 and celebrity crossover chatter.
Toto Wolff comments on Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian’s relationship
As per Reuters, Lewis Hamilton won Sunday’s Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix for Ferrari. The result put him second overall, 41 points behind Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli. Toto Wolff said, “I’d rather not fight with him for a title.” He added that he knew “what he’s capable of.” The Austrian then warned, “If he smells blood, he goes.” Wolff said he had seen the “Lewis Hamilton train” start before. He called it difficult to stop.
Meanwhile, the report said Hamilton had three straight podiums before the title talk returned. Those results included two second-place finishes and a first Ferrari win. Reuters said the Briton had struggled last season and called himself “useless.” He had even told Ferrari to “find someone else.” However, the Barcelona victory gave him proof that he could win again after his doubts. The former Mercedes driver has now won with McLaren, Mercedes, and Ferrari since his 2007 debut.
Still, Wolff also brought Kim Kardashian into the relationship discussion. He said the team dynamic looked good with race engineer Carlo Santi. Wolff added, “That face shows me that he’s very happy.” Then, he said, “Maybe the girlfriend helps.” He also mentioned “a stable family life.” The Austrian said they seemed to be “getting on really well.”
For context, Kardashian attended the Monaco Grand Prix this month to support Hamilton. A separate F1 joke later involved her and Kimi Antonelli’s missing towel video. Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur dismissed championship talk, saying, “This is the worst approach that I could have.”
