Looks like Kim is now 'keeping up with Kimi' as the Grand Prix winner pokes fun at The Kardashians star for apparently stealing his towel in Monaco.

The Skims founder, who’s gone Instagram official with Lewis Hamilton, was captured taking a towel that was reportedly left out for Mercedes driver Antonelli.

At the age of 19, he’s won five Formula One Grands Prix since his 2025 debut, pipping Hamilton to victory on Sunday.

Viral footage, however, shows Kardashian using the towel to wipe her face while walking past a podium.

After coming first place, both Antonelli and Mercedes posted a joint video on social media, with the racer asking: “I was wondering have you seen my towel?”

He then says to teammate George Russell: “George have you seen Kimi's towel?”

“No?” he replied, as Antonelli is then seen washing his hands in a fountain and again asks: “Hey, have you seen my towel?”

At the time of writing, the clip has over 800,000 likes on Instagram, with one viewer commenting: “Keeping up with Kimi?”

“Netflix already writing a three-episode arc about this towel,” a second quipped.

“Kimi I know where your towel is… you don’t want it back trust me,” someone else joked.

Well, as surprising as it might sound, the clip of Kardashian using the towel has caused a big divide online.

While you’d think people would have better things to do, some viewers were angered by the move, with one person said: “So it’s a towel left on a pillar in between a walkway and she just grabs it to clean herself, no questions asked.

“Honestly a lot of comments are pointing out the entitlement of it all for her to do that (which I totally see) but for me I’m just left more with a sense of bewilderment for what would provoke her to do that.”

“This is so rude. How can people just do stuff like this?” a second person wrote.

Jumping to her defence, another user argued: “Did anyone not catch when she gestured for a towel and the guy in front of her gestured back for her to take that towel? If it’s anyone’s fault it’s his, he's the one who gave the OK.”

Aside from ignoring Martin Brundle on the gridwalk, Hamilton broke his silence about Kardashian after the race.

Four months after first sparking romance rumors, he said: “It's amazing to have her come this weekend and have her support. My friends [in general]. It was an incredible turnout overall.

“I don't know what else to say. It's amazing to have good people around you and supporting you. And she does that for me every day.”
