Lewis Hamilton's former team-mate George Russell made a comment about Hamilton's love life in front of thousands of fans at the British Grand Prix.

Hamilton is dating reality TV star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian in what is a very high-profile celebrity couple.

Kardashian was at the Monaco GP cheering on Hamilton, while Sky Sports F1's Craig Slater revealed that she was on FaceTime congratulating Hamilton after his victory at the Barcelona Grand Prix.

Both stars are very private, and have not publicly announced a relationship, but Hamilton seemed to confirm it for good at the British GP.

The seven-time world champion was caught off-guard by a David Croft question at a fan event before the British GP weekend, as well as a comment from his former Mercedes team-mate Russell.

Does Lewis Hamilton have a girlfriend?

Sky Sports F1's Croft said to Hamilton in front of the thousands of fans at Silverstone: "On track and off track you are a much happier man this year and that is great to see."

Before Hamilton had a chance to respond, Russell then cheekily asked: "Is that because he has a fast car or a new girlfriend?"

Hamilton chuckled before launching into a speech about how he has now firmly blended in with his Ferrari team, which is what is leading to his more positive demeanour both on and off track.

Hamilton has managed to claim a grand prix victory and three further podiums already in 2026, as the 41-year-old appears reinvigorated.

But Hamilton then ended his answer with: "And of course Kim," seemingly confirming a relationship between the pair, who have been good friends for over a decade.
