Ferrari F1 driver Lewis Hamilton has said it was 'amazing' to have had the support of reality TV star Kim Kardashian at Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix.
Hamilton, 41, has reportedly been in a relationship with the 45-year-old The Kardashians star since the start of the year, and she made their romance 'Instagram official' last week when she included Hamilton in a round up of photos.
Hamilton has dated several A-list celebrities, his best known relationship being with Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger whom he dated on-and-off for seven years.
When making her relationship with Hamilton public via social media on Tuesday, Kardashian posted a picture of the pair cycling along a river in New York on a sunny day, where she appeared to lose control of the bike at one point.

The well-loved driver, who finished second in yesterday's race, said of mom-of-four Kardashian: "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."
Hamilton blew a kiss to Kardashian as she watched him collect his runners-up trophy, with her arrival 50 minutes before the start of the grand prix seeing her pose for pictures outside of Hamilton’s Ferrari garage, before heading to the starting grid.
On the grid she was approached by Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle, who asked her a series of questions including 'are you enjoying F1?', but Kardashian ignored him, to which he replied: 'Okay, so we’re not talking today." Awkward!
Saturday’s qualifying saw her make her first appearance in the Formula One paddock since she started dating the seven-time world champion.
Yesterday Kardashian wore a white dress on the grid with large pink-tinted sunglasses.
She was accompanied at the race by her sister Khloé, who wore a similar outfit, while other famous faces attending the race included Donald Trump Jnr, singer Karol G, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, former snowboarder Shaun White, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor Terry Crews.
The Monaco Grand Prix was won by Mercedes’ Italian driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who is just 19 years old.
In the lead-up to his win, Hamilton said his main competitor was doing 'a phenomenal job'.
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."
