Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari for the 2026 F1 season isn’t the only transition facing internal resistance, as his mother, Carmen Larbalestier, has reportedly expressed deep reservations regarding his rumoured romance with Kim Kardashian. According to someone close to the family, she doesn’t really see Kim’s flashy lifestyle fitting with Lewis for the long haul. With Kim popping up more and more at Formula 1 events, the media can’t get enough of the idea, but behind the scenes, the Hamiltons would rather see Lewis with someone quieter.
While Lewis tries to get back on top with Ferrari, the clash between his mom’s wish for privacy and his own love of star-studded company is turning into one of the most talked-about stories off the track.
Larbalestier Questions Long-Term Compatibility With Kardashian Clan
The main source of the conflict is the basic difference in lifestyles. Talking to In Touch, a person who is directly connected to Carmen Larbalestier showed her worries, pointing out that the reality TV circus around Kim Kardashian is in complete contradiction with how she sees her son. Finding out why Larbalestier thinks the Ferrari driver would, in her view, be “better off teamed up with someone that’s much more low-key and private, ” the insider quoted her.
The mother of a son who has reached and is still competing at the very dangerous and high-pressure sport level, the large extra chaos that the Kardashian brand keeps bringing is seen, among other things, as a likely mismatch. Even though Hamilton and Kim were spotted together at several Grand Prix events and high-fashion galas, the piece says that the family wishes that this is a short-lived association rather than a permanent one in the Maranello garage.
