Kardashian jokes with Antonelli about their viral towel mix-up in Singapore
At the Singapore Grand Prix, Kim Kardashian joked with Kimi Antonelli about their earlier towel mix-up.
The Mercedes driver had won in Monaco in June when Kardashian accidentally used his podium towel and walked away with it.
She later gave him a custom replacement, turning the mistake into a running paddock joke.
Antonelli finished third in Singapore and kept his championship lead after a race marked by heat, tyre wear and a track-limits controversy.
Hamilton, the Ferrari driver Kardashian was supporting, finished sixth after a late strategy error and a missed pit entry.
Antonelli is close to clinching the drivers' title at the upcoming United States Grand Prix in Austin.
It is not yet known whether Kardashian will attend that race.
