Formula One racer George Russell asked the question on many motorsport fans’ lips and cheekily interrogated Lewis Hamilton over his celebrity love life. Russell cheekily asked whether the veteran is ‘all loved up’ after he was spotted with Kim Kardashian.

Amid the speculation, Mercedes driver Russell allowed his curiosity to get the better of him and posed a question to the F1 legend as they got ready for their pre-season photoshoot. 

In a video posted by his team’s X account, Russell can be seen lingering around his rival before asking: “All loved up, or, what’s the latest?”

The 28-year-old learned little, as the Ferrari driver offered close to nothing. He grinned at his counterpart before changing the conversation to ask where he should sit for the looming photographs.

It’s not the first time Hamilton has poured water on entertaining such a conversation. Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz earlier  revealed that Hamilton did not want to talk about Kardashian on Wednesday, as the first official testing week got underway in Bahrain.

Kravitz said: “I know what you’re thinking. ‘Kravitz, you chickened out of asking him about his new relationship with Kim Kardashian.’

“Well, I can tell you he was asked that in the written press. He was asked ‘Did you enjoy your company more than the game at the Super Bowl?’ And he said, ‘It’s my private life, I’m not talking about that.’ So that’s me told.”

Kravitz then said: “I was only going to ask if Kim was going to become a tifosi, like all Ferrari fans, but I chickened out. Quite right. He was never going to give me an answer though, was he?”

Hamilton was more open about matters on the track and is enjoying the new car at his disposal. “We just have a less downforce,” he said.

“But you still have to discover the grip. There’s still so many elements completely under our control.

“So, it’s just different, and new, and I still find it quite fun. The cars are more fun to drive. They’re easier to correct. So you have snaps and keep them on track. The previous year’s cars were a bit too on edge.”
