Pity poor Kim Kardashian. It’s rare that the reality star, entrepreneur and self-made billionaire looks out of place – the woman has been the face (and body) of aspiration for so long, and has crossed over so many previously unbreachable social and class divides, I’d assumed it was nigh-on impossible to make her feel uncomfortable. But if her inaugural, faltering steps into the world of F1 have shown us anything, it’s that she is as susceptible as the rest of us to making a snafu when not on home turf.
It’s a little surprising, I’ll admit. This is the person who managed to both “break the internet” with a picture of her bottom and appear on the cover of Vogue more than 10 times; a person who seems just as at home arguing for criminal justice reform at the White House as she does flogging faux-pube micro thongs as part of her underwear brand Skims’ hard launch.
