“People Who Don’t Know What a Car Is”: Jeremy Clarkson Slams Kim Kardashian Over F1 Paddock Access

Famous British television personality Jeremy Clarkson has blasted Kim Kardashian and other celebrities for their F1 paddock appearances. Clarkson said F1 races are attended by many people who do not even know what a car is nowadays, as he said he does not care which celebrities attend the races.

“There are people here who don’t even know what a car is. Why do I care about Kim Kardashian? I’m just here to watch Formula 1,” Clarkson told Sky Sports on Saturday.

Notably, Kardashian, who is dating Scuderia Ferrari superstar Lewis Hamilton, has not yet made an appearance at the US Grand Prix. But numerous reports have claimed that the American media personality is expected to attend the race on Sunday.

Kardashian was present at Round 17 of the 2026 F1 season, the Singapore Grand Prix, as she watched Hamilton finish the race in P6 after starting from third. Before this, the 46-year-old had also attended the Monaco Grand Prix in June.

Lewis Hamilton Shares He Loves Spending Time With Kim Kardashian’s Children

Acknowledging Kardashian as his ‘girlfriend,’ Hamilton has shared that he enjoys spending time with her four kids. The Briton also added that his new golden retriever, Halo, was a gift from him to Kim’s children.

“My girlfriend’s kids, I love spending time with them. She’s got four, so I’m getting to play with these kids. I got them a dog this year. Halo is a member of that family,” Hamilton said during the US Grand Prix weekend.

Kardashian’s four kids are North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, who she shares with her ex-husband Kanye West.

Lewis Hamilton Qualifies in 5th For the US Grand Prix

After finishing FP3 on top, Hamilton ended qualifying for the US Grand Prix in fifth place. The seven-time world champion will start Sunday’s grid from the third row alongside Mercedes’ George Russell (P6).

Meanwhile, championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who can win the Drivers’ title this weekend, qualified in pole position on Saturday. Max Verstappen will start from second, while Isack Hadjar (P3) and Charles Leclerc (P4) make up the second row.

The results of Saturday will come as a disappointment for Ferrari, as the Italian team had topped every free practice session leading up to qualifying in Texas. Leclerc topped both sessions on Friday, while Hamilton topped FP3 just hours before qualifying.
