When it was the turn of the Ferrari duo Hamilton and Charles Leclerc to step onto the grid, the seven-time champion took a moment to congratulate the visibly pregnant Schiff.

Schiff announced that she and her husband, Alexandre Dedieu, were expecting their first child in May and has since debuted her baby bump live on Sky's broadcast.

At Silverstone, F1 photographer Mark Sutton, shared a heartwarming picture of Hamilton touching Schiff’s bump where he asked if he could feel the baby kicking.

Schiff also shared the moment with Hamilton on Instagram, where she wrote: “When the spirit of greatness meets the miracle of creation. Baby already wrapped in grace.”

Who is Sky Sports F1 presenter Naomi Schiff?

Schiff was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and has dual-nationality with Rwanda and Belgium, but her racing career began in South Africa.

The 31-year-old competed in single-seater cars in Formula Volkswagen, and has taken part in multiple other disciplines since then, including RC Formula and Supercar Challenge Superlights.
