Lewis Hamilton once made his thoughts on Kanye West clear before the rapper's string of controversies, with the F1 star now romantically with Kim Kardashian. The seven-timeFormula One world champion is reportedly dating the American reality television star.

The Sun reports Ferrari driver Hamilton enjoyed an intimate dinner and a couple’s massage with the mother-of-four in the English countryside recently. The 41-year-old allegedly met Kardashian for an evening at Estelle Manor, located in the Cotswolds.

Their romantic getaway reportedly saw the 45-year-old arrive from Los Angeles on a £100million private jet to see Hamilton, before enjoying use of the spa and having a meal in a private room.

A source is claimed to have said: "It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer. Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them."

However, what West – Kardashian's ex-husband of seven years – makes of the alleged romance, remains to be seen. The American rapper and fashion mogul, who legally split from Kardashian in February 2021, was previously thought to be on friendly terms with Hamilton while still married to the influencer and model.

The British motorsport icon was spotted alongside West at a number of high profile events during the mid-2010s and even praised the polarising rapper, saying how he wished to be more outspoken like West. However, this was before a string of controversies in relation to West, including making anti-Semitic comments and other offensive remarks which he has since issued apologies for.

In 2016, before those controversies emerged, Hamilton revealed how Kanye had advised him "not to give a f*** about what anyone thinks". Speaking to City A.M., he said: "It doesn’t matter what the pundits say - ‘Oh he’s off travelling and partying’ - I turn up and I win. Don’t talk to me about what I can and can’t do. I define who I am, I’m not defined by what people say. I might be in ten different countries in a week but I’ll turn up at the track and kill it."

The then 31-year-old Hamilton continued: "I went to see Kanye at his house and he goes, ‘You know, me and you are very much the same’. He said, ‘I’m big in the music world but I’m trying to do what I love in fashion and people don’t like it. You’re big in your racing world but you love your music and people will probably struggle to accept that. You need to do what you love and not give a f*** about what anyone thinks’.

"Ultimately we shouldn’t feel like we need to shrink ourselves for other people to feel comfortable. Kanye’s outspoken, to say the least. I love that. He’s electrifying in everything he does. I wish I could be that outspoken, I really do. But I’m signed to brands that have an idealistic image they wish to be connected with, so I need to be careful."

He said about being photographed with various models: "It’s not good for the brand but I don’t really care. What people write makes no difference to my life and it’s not going to stop me winning races. Since school, I’ve always been into girls and there are some beautiful girls out there and that’s definitely a good thing. I can’t complain."

Though Hamilton and West previously connected over their shared interest in fashion and music, the F1 champion hasn't publicly mentioned the rapper in recent years, as West's behaviour has become increasingly controversial. Adidas severed ties with West in 2022 after his anti-Semitic remarks and he recently issued an apology for posting "I love Hitler" and "I'm a Nazi" last year.

He has since denied claims he is a Nazi and took out a full-page advert in the Wall Street Journal to apologise for past anti-Semitic comments. West attributed his behaviour to bipolar-1 disorder, stemming from a car crash 25 years ago. He claims his brain injury sustained from the crash was left undiagnosed until 2023.

He added: "In early 2025, I fell into a four-month-long manic episode of psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behaviour that destroyed my life. I lost touch with reality. Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret."

So far, none of the three have publicly addressed the recent dating rumours. Hamilton and Kardashian were reportedly seen checking out of the hotel around 11am, leaving together in the two cars that had earlier brought Kardashian from the airport.
