During the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, a humorous incident involving Kim Kardashian and a towel caught the attention of Mercedes junior driver Kimi Antonelli. The reality TV star was seen using a towel to shield herself from the sun, which led to playful remarks from the Italian driver.
Antonelli, who was at the event as part of his Formula 1 commitments, responded to the situation with a joke on social media. He posted a photo of himself holding a towel with a caption that poked fun at the situation, though the exact wording of his post has not been independently verified.
The incident became a talking point among fans and media, highlighting the intersection of celebrity culture and motorsport. Neither Kardashian nor Antonelli have commented further on the exchange.
