– The Formula 1 summer break provides plenty of talking points off the racetracks, as two of the most famous drivers are in the spotlight with their private lives in July 2026. While seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and US entertainment star Kim Kardashian fuel the rumor mill with intimate family photos, McLaren driver Lando Norris causes a stir with a joint club night with US influencer Alix Earle in London.

Both drivers use the summer time for private matters, which have now come to public attention through social media posts and reports. The clearest hint of a relationship came from Kardashian herself, who posted private shots of a family outing on Independence Day on her Instagram platform.
In the pictures, the 45-year-old is seen closely cuddled up to Hamilton, while their eight-year-old daughter Chicago rests her head on her shoulder. The other children North, Saint, and Psalm are also present in further shots from the outing. It is the first time the British driver has been seen in an official family photo with the reality star’s children.
Kardashian commented on the idyllic shots with the words: “Summer at the lake with my favorite people.” Hardly anyone in the paddock doubts that the Brit belongs to this closest circle, especially since the two have been regularly seen together since the end of last year.

Hamilton himself recently hinted at the importance of the relationship to him at a fan meeting in British Silverstone when he explained that Kim plays an important role in his personal happiness.
At the same time, Lando Norris is also coming into the focus of the tabloid media. The Brit was seen leaving the exclusive private club “The Twenty Two” in London shortly after US influencer Alix Earle also left the building. Eyewitnesses told the US magazine Page Six that the two danced and celebrated together until the early hours of the morning.
For Norris, the speculations come at a time when he is at the peak of his sporting career but protects his private life more strictly. According to industry insiders, the McLaren driver separated from his partner Margarida Corceiro in February this year and would thus be single, just like Earle.
