Kimi Antonelli Hilariously Responds to Kim Kardashian Monaco GP Towel Incident
Mercedes turned the missing towel into a social-media joke after Kimi Antonelli’s Monaco Grand Prix win drew millions of views online.
- On June 7, 2026, nineteen-year-old Kimi Antonelli conquered the streets of Monte Carlo to become the youngest-ever winner of the Monaco Grand Prix, navigating intense pressure from runner-up Lewis Hamilton.
- Following the race, reality star Kim Kardashian took Antonelli's official podium towel after Lewis Hamilton sprayed champagne directly toward the restricted trackside enclosure where she stood.
- In a playful video, Mercedes and Antonelli asked, 'Have you seen my towel?' while featuring a cameo from teammate George Russell, who deadpanned the same question to crew.
- Motorsport purists expressed anger over the incident, citing celebrity entitlement and disregard for established paddock etiquette, with critics noting the controversy overshadowed Antonelli's monumental athletic feat.
- Tensions were already high after fans branded Kardashian as 'rude' for ignoring Sky Sports pundit Martin Brundle during his traditional pre-race grid walk earlier in the weekend.
