Reports have emerged suggesting Lewis Hamilton is concerned his new relationship with Kim Kardashian may be affecting his Formula One fortunes, after a sixth-place finish at the Suzuka circuit on Sunday, 29 March, the National Enquirer claims. The seven-time world champion, racing in Japan as part of the 2026 F1 season, is said to be increasingly rattled by talk of a supposed 'Kardashian curse', though neither Hamilton nor his representatives have confirmed the claim.
The news came after Hamilton's underwhelming run at the Japanese Grand Prix, where he slipped to sixth after opening the season with fourth and third places in the first two races. For context, his form this year is still an improvement on much of last season, when the British driver finished as low as 12th and even failed to see the chequered flag on several occasions. Yet the combination of a high-profile romance and a below-par weekend has created a familiar tabloid storm around one of motorsport's biggest names.
