Kimi Antonelli trolled Kim Kardashian at Monaco Grand Prix
Kimi Antonelli and his Mercedes teammate George Russell have brilliantly trolled Kim Kardashian in a hilarious TikTok video that’s taken the internet by storm, reports BritPanorama.
The playful clip targets Kardashian after she was filmed swiping Antonelli’s winner’s towel at the Monaco Grand Prix over the weekend. Kardashian, 45, attended the event to support her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, but her antics quickly overshadowed the race.
Antonelli, just 19 years old, achieved a remarkable feat by winning his fifth consecutive race on that same weekend, a historic moment that added to the intrigue surrounding the incident. As the chaos unfolded, social media erupted in reaction.
The footage showcased Kardashian during the post-race celebrations, where she picked up the towel from a plinth marked with the number one and F1 branding – an item clearly designated for the race victor. She was noted for wiping her sunglasses and dabbing her face, drawing amused attention from fans and observers alike.
In his striking Monaco victory, Antonelli not only became the youngest driver to win at the celebrated street circuit but also secured a Grand Slam by obtaining pole position, leading every lap, and achieving the fastest lap during the 78-lap race.
The Mercedes team cleverly capitalized on the towel incident with a TikTok post featuring Antonelli contemplating the whereabouts of his towel, quizzing Russell in a mock-serious tone. The visual ended with Antonelli washing his hands and reiterating his question, “Have you seen my towel?”
The video proved wildly popular, garnering over 4.4 million views and nearly 900,000 interactions within 19 hours of being posted. Audience responses included playful comments, such as one querying if they were “Keeping up with Kimi?” and another suggesting that Hamilton might know more about the missing towel.
However, this was not Kardashian’s only misstep at the event; she faced criticism for disregarding Sky Sports veteran Martin Brundle during his well-known grid walk. When Brundle approached her for a brief discussion, she opted to smile and walk away, prompting viewers to label her actions as “rude” and “disrespectful.”
Despite this, Hamilton expressed unequivocal support for Kardashian, praising her presence at the race and the encouragement she brings. “It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have her support,” he noted, reflecting the duality of celebrity and sport at such high-profile events.
The interplay of sportsmanship and celebrity presence continues to illustrate how motorsport often entertains while intertwining with global pop culture, reminding fans that the spectacle can be both exhilarating and, at times, unpredictable.
