Kim Kardashian has found herself at the center of another Formula 1 controversy after fans accused her of "stealing" race winner Kimi Antonelli's towel moments after the Monaco Grand Prix.
The reality TV star attended the race alongside her sister, Khloé Kardashian, to support her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton.
This marked the SKIMS founder's first appearance at an F1 race in support of Hamilton since the pair reportedly began dating earlier this year.
Just before the podium ceremony, Kardashian was seen grabbing the towel reserved for race winner Kimi Antonelli and using it to pat herself down.
The towels are provided to the top three drivers after the race to help them cool off.
They are also often special limited-edition or one-of-a-kind items featuring collaborations with luxury lifestyle or streetwear brands, News.com.au reported.
A video of the moment quickly spread across social media, with many fans expressing frustration.
One person slammed: "Imagine getting your first Monaco podium and immediately losing your towel to Kim Kardashian."
Another blasted: "Nobody aside from the teams should be allowed near the drivers stuff! Doesn't matter who they are, the drivers deserve their space."
A third wrote: "She knew exactly what she was doing. disgusting. Ban her from the paddock to save f1's not so bright future."
Another fan argued: "It was never Just about a towel. It's about a growing feeling that some celebrity guests treat the paddock and podium like a VIP lounge. The spotlight should be on the people who earned the moment, not the Guests who were invited to watch it."
The towel incident wasn't the only moment involving the mom-of-four that got fans talking during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
Earlier in the day, the reality star was criticized after appearing to ignore Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle during his famous pre-race grid walk.
Kardashian and her sister had arrived at the event wearing coordinated outfits as they made their way through the paddock before the race.
While the reality TV star dominated social media conversation, her rumored boyfriend had plenty to celebrate on the track.
The Ferrari driver crossed the line in second place behind Mercedes sensation Antonelli, who secured his fifth consecutive victory and stretched his championship lead to 66 points.
Hamilton also moved ahead of George Russell in the drivers' standings after Russell endured a difficult weekend.
Following the race, the seven-time world champion spoke warmly about having Kardashian by his side.
"It is amazing to have her come this weekend and to have that support," he told reporters. "It is amazing to have good people around you, good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day."

Just a week after lovebirds Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian made their relationship Instagram official, the F1 driver spoke about having the support of his reality star girlfriend at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend.
Reportedly, Ferrari driver Hamilton, 41, and shapewear mogul Kardashian, 45, have been in a relationship since the beginning of this year.
Although Hamilton made their relationship official back in April when he posted an Instagram Reel that featured Kardashian riding shotgun in a red Ferrari driving through Tokyo, she did not post about her new beau until last week.
The mom-of-four posted a picture of the pair cycling along a river in New York, alongside other snaps of what she has been up to, with the caption “lately”.
On Sunday, June 7, the star with 345 million followers on Instagram was spotted at the Monaco Grand Prix with her sister Khloe, arriving 50 minutes before the start of the event to pose for cameras outside Hamilton’s Ferrari garage.
In a sweet public gesture, Hamilton blew a kiss to Kardashian as she watched him collect his runners-up trophy.
The seven-time world champion, who finished second in Sunday’s race, gushed over his girlfriend, telling reporters, "It is amazing to have her come this weekend and to have that support.
"It is amazing to have good people around you, good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day."
The competition in Monaco was Kardashian’s first appearance at a racing event in support of her boyfriend. She wore a white dress with large purple-tinted sunglasses, while her sister Khloe donned a similar outfit.
While standing on the grid, the sisters were approached by a Sky Sports reporter, who asked a series of questions, including “Are you enjoying F1?”, but the pair ignored him. The reporter replied sheepishly: “Okay, so we’re not talking today."
Other big names in attendance at Monaco’s Grand Prix were Donald Trump Jnr, singer Karol G, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, former snowboarder Shaun White, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor Terry Crews.
The Grand Prix was won by 19-year-old Mercedes’ Italian driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Despite being beaten by a teenager, Hamilton shared kind words about his competitor, saying in the build-up to his win, he was doing “a phenomenal job”.
He added, He shared: "Kimi is doing a phenomenal job. But it just encourages me to level up, and it encourages everyone else to level up, too.
"And I am going to do my best to try and chase him down for the rest of the year."
Hamilton dated a number of A-list celebrities prior to Kardashian, his longest relationship being with Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger. The former couple dated on and off for seven years.

Lewis Hamilton has shared a blunt statement about his budding romance with Kim Kardashian.
The Formula 1 champion, 41, and the 45-year-old SKIMS founder sent fans into overdrive when they were spotted together at Super Bowl LX inside Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as the Seattle Seahawks faced the New England Patriots on Sunday (February 8).
Their appearance reignited long-standing rumors that their relationship may have evolved beyond friendship.
But when pressed about the headline-making outing days later, Hamilton shut down the conversation.
Hamilton declined to entertain questions about the mom-of-four during the first official testing week ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season in Bahrain.
Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz revealed that the British driver was directly asked about the reality TV star in the written press.
"I know what you're thinking. Kravitz, you chickened out of asking him about his new relationship with Kim Kardashian," Kravitz began, per Daily Mail.
He continued: "Well, I can tell you he was asked that in the written press.
"He was asked 'Did you enjoy your company more than the game at the Super Bowl?'
"And he said, 'It's my private life, I'm not talking about that.'
"So that's me told."
Kravitz added that he considered raising the topic himself, but ultimately thought better of it.
"I was only going to ask if Kim was going to become a tifosi, like all Ferrari fans, but I chickened out.
"Quite right. He was never going to give me an answer though, was he?" he added.
While Hamilton focuses on the upcoming F1 season in Bahrain, Kardashian is currently in Los Angeles filming scenes for the movie The Fifth Wheel alongside Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, and Fortune Feimster.
The pair's Super Bowl date quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity moments of the night, and not just because they were sitting side by side.
A clip of them in conversation went viral, prompting intense speculation online. "Where are the Hamilton stans who double as lip readers… we’re waiting to hear what you have to add," one user wrote. "Who on f1twt is a lip reader," another added.
Professional lip reader Nicola Hickling later told the Daily Mail she identified a pivotal exchange between the two.
According to Hickling, Hamilton was seen telling Kardashian: "No I don't take just any girl to my mom, I mean you're gonna meet someday, she is very excited to see you."
Hickling claimed the business mogul, dressed in a black fur jacket, oversized sunglasses, and a glamorous updo, “shuffled uncomfortably in her seat” before covering her face and replying, “Okay.”
Body language expert Judi James also weighed in, describing what she viewed as a subtle display of flirtation.
"Kim actually leans back to take in Lewis visually as he speaks and this flattering ‘stroke’ produces a ‘purr’ response from him which is visible in the way his facial features soften and he talks through a smile of pleasure,” James said.
She added that Kardashian’s slight tongue movement is “usually seen as a gesture of playful desire or interest,” followed by her looking away and touching her hair - a classic “hot/cool” technique.
“Kim's hand-to-hair gesture looks like a preen here, suggesting she sees Lewis as a very suitable ‘catch’ to show off with pride at this public event,” James concluded.
The Super Bowl sighting came shortly after reports that the pair had spent time together in the UK.
The Sun reported that Kardashian flew from Los Angeles on her private jet to check into Estelle Manor, a luxury hotel in the Cotswolds, where Hamilton was also staying.
Though they reportedly arrived separately at the five-star estate, the visit was described as intimate.
A source told the outlet: “It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer. They had two bodyguards with her, and Lewis had a close protection officer, but they remained in the background.”
The couple, who have moved in the same social circles for years, allegedly enjoyed a private spa session and dinner for two, keeping the getaway off social media.
As speculation surrounding Kardashian and Hamilton intensifies, her ex-husband, Kanye West, is reportedly feeling uneasy.
A source told the Daily Mail that the rapper is "jealous," adding: "It feels weird for him...It is always strange for him to see his ex-wife out with another man...It felt weird with Pete Davidson and now it feels weird with Lewis Hamilton."
The insider added: "That used to be Ye's family, now Lewis is there, it's hard to see," despite West, 48, having married Bianca Censori, 31, in December 2022.
However, the source noted that his marriage to Censori is “stable,” and that he remains on good terms with Kardashian and their four children.

Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian have taken their friendship to new heights, with sources claiming that the pair are dating after spending a romantic weekend together in the UK.
According to The Sun, the 45-year-old SKIMS founder flew in from Los Angeles on her private jet, to enjoy a private and intimate evening with Hamilton, 41, at the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire.
The pair, surrounded by bodyguards for protection, made the most of the luxurious spa and private dining facilities at the estate, which is set on 85 acres of countryside.
A source revealed to the outlet: “It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer."
"They had two bodyguards with her, and Lewis had a close protection officer, but they remained in the background," they added.
The couple's evening included a massage, with the spa completely reserved for them, followed by a private dinner for two.
Despite their high-profile status, both Hamilton and Kardashian kept a low profile on social media during the trip, with neither posting about the getaway.
Hamilton and Kardashian’s bond isn’t new. The two have known each other for years, with the racing driver having previously been friends with Kardashian's ex-husband, Kanye West.
They were seen together in 2014 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. In the years that followed, Hamilton’s connection to the Kardashian-Jenner family deepened, especially through his friendship with Kim’s half-sister, supermodel Kendall Jenner.
Hamilton and Kardashian were also spotted together in 2024 when both were honored at the Wall Street Journal’s Innovator Awards - he for his sports achievements and her for her shapewear company, Skims.
Reports on the pair's budding relationship come after the reality TV star voiced support for the victims of ICE raids in the US.
She condemned the shootings in a post on X, which read: "In response to the recent tragic deaths of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Silverio Villegas González, and Keith Porter Jr. and other victims, I stand in solidarity with calls for accountability and compassionate immigration enforcement."
"I stand with the families and children nationwide who are facing separation, fear, trauma, and loss amid these actions," she added.
Kardashian also revealed she made a significant donation to the National Immigration Law Center, an organization that supports low-income immigrants' rights.

Details have emerged about Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton considering having a baby through a surrogate.
The 45-year-old SKIMS founder and the 41-year-old Formula One champion, who have been friends for years, sparked romance rumors when it was reported that they enjoyed a romantic getaway in the Cotswolds earlier this month.
According to The Sun, the pair spent a weekend at Estelle Manor, a luxurious estate known for its exclusive offerings and serene atmosphere.
"It all appeared to be very romantic," a source close to the couple shared. "Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer."
Despite their high-profile status, they managed to keep things low-key, avoiding any social media posts about the trip.
The pair seemingly confirmed their relationship after they were spotted sitting next to each other at Levi’s Stadium as the Seattle Seahawks faced the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LV on Sunday (Febraury 8).
Their interaction during the game didn’t go unnoticed by fans, and professional lip reader Nicola Hickling even decoded a key moment between the two.
Hickling said the racing driver told the mom-of-four: “No, I don’t take just any girl to my mom, I mean you're gonna meet someday, she is very excited to see you," per Daily Mail.
Kardashian, who was wearing a black fur jacket, oversized sunglasses, and a glamorous updo, “shuffled uncomfortably in her seat” before covering her face and replying, “Okay.”
Body language experts analyzed the exchange and noted the undeniable chemistry between the couple.
“Kim's hand to hair gesture looks like a preen here, suggesting she sees Lewis as a very suitable ‘catch’ to show off with pride at this public event,” said one expert.
As their romance deepens, the pair is reportedly looking ahead to the future, including discussions about having a baby together.
Kardashian, who shares four children with ex-husband Kanye West, has previously used a surrogate for two of her pregnancies due to health issues.
Insiders allege that she and her rumored beau are seriously considering this option for their own family. "Given Kim’s past experience, they’d almost certainly welcome their baby using a surrogate. She still has frozen eggs, so it’s something they’re seriously discussing," said a source, per Heat World.
Hamilton, who will retire from Formula 1 next year, is eager to become a father and start a family with his new partner. “He doesn’t want to be an absent father. They’ve already been talking seriously about him moving to LA and what their blended family would look like,” the insider shared.
For the reality TV star, this relationship feels like a fresh start. Having been through a high-profile divorce with the controversial rapper, she’s now looking for stability and a new chapter in her life.
“She’s older, more settled, and knows exactly what she wants. She feels safe, adored, and excited about building a future together with Lewis,” the source revealed.

Kim Kardashian had her ego brutally checked by football fans at a Los Angeles football game.
On October 9, the 41-year-old celebrity mogul appeared on the Jumbotron during the Los Angeles Rams game against the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium, and many NFL fans were less than impressed.
The camera panned from John Legend and his son, who received neutral reactions, to the reality TV star; who was seen smiling, waving, and blowing a kiss to the crowd in her all-black Balenciaga outfit.
The mood quickly soured and the SKIMS founder received a round of boos that echoed around the stadium.

Another said: "People are just hateful, who agrees to simultaneously make a kid's experience at a football game a bad one? I Don’t watch football, don’t care to and this is why."

A fourth shared: "Exactly!! Just rude, jealous people!"
Even Arrow Actor Stephen Amell weighed in on the moment, writing: "Kim Kardashian was just shown on the big screen and loudly booed at the Rams game."
"Being booed at a sporting event is a huge compliment. When people who don’t know you think they dislike you it means you are super duper famous," he added.
Despite the disdain, Kardashian, who was at the game with her six-year-old son Saint, appeared unfazed being booed by thousands of people.
