“Kimi” and “Kardashian”: The reactions after the Monaco GP

Great Britain

The Sun: “Kimi Kardashian. Lewis Hamilton stole the show at the Monaco Grand Prix when he blew kisses and sprayed champagne on his girlfriend Kim Kardashian from the winner’s stand. Hamilton – whose girlfriend Kardashian watched from the stands – finished second to teenage winner Kimi Antonelli despite a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.”

Daily Mail: “Kimi Antonelli’s visible talent as a racer of extraordinary virtuosity was highlighted by a performance so sophisticated that it’s hard to believe and we’d have to ask for his birth certificate.”

Independent: “Kimi Antonelli made history by entering the annals as the youngest winner of the Monaco Grand Prix.”
