(Motorsport-Total.com) – The Formula 1 summer break provides plenty of topics for conversation 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 the public through posts on social media and reports. The clearest indication 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 her eight-year-old daughter Chicago rests her head on her shoulder. The other children North, Saint, and Psalm are also present in further photos 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 observed in London leaving the exclusive private club “The Twenty Two,” 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 morning hours.
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 reportedly separated from his partner Margarida Corceiro in February of this year and would thus be single, just like Earle.
