The Formula 1 paddock is a massive magnet for high-profile celebrities, but few A-list appearances have generated as much hilarious viral drama as Kim Kardashian's ongoing saga with Mercedes-AMG Petronas star Kimi Antonelli.
While attending the Singapore Grand Prix to support Scuderia Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, the reality TV billionaire ran into the young championship leader on the Singapore Airlines red carpet, instantly reviving the funniest off-track storyline of the season.
Antonelli
As Kardashian bumped into Kimi Antonelli ahead of the gruelling Marina Bay night race, she immediately referenced their shared viral history. Throwing her hands up in a defensive, joking posture alongside friends, Kardashian was heard telling the Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver, "Nooo, Kimi, I don't dare to touch your towel this time."
The inside joke dates back to the Monaco Grand Prix in early June. After Kimi Antonelli secured a dominant victory around the streets of Monte Carlo, Kardashian - who was visiting the Principality to support Lewis Hamilton - was caught on camera accidentally swiping the Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver's official podium cool-down towel.
Kimi Antonelli sits 1st in the championship standings with 340 points.
