Kim Kardashian has thrown her support behind Lewis Hamilton at the Singapore Grand Prix as she apologised to Sky Sports' Martin Brundle for 'getting off on the wrong foot' when she brutally snubbed him earlier this year👀 The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 45, said she was 'very confident' her Formula One star boyfriend, 41, could win in Singapore's famous night race on Sunday, with the Ferrari racer starting third on the grid. Kardashian's new relationship with Hamilton has been the talk of the Formula One paddock, although her 'rude' snub of Brundle in Monaco this summer during a toe-curling encounter saw her ridiculed by fans on social media. 'Did I not know the rules? Did we get off on the wrong foot?' she said as she jokingly placed her hand on his arm. Of Formula One, she said: 'I think it's amazing and fun and wild and something I've never seen before. It's amazing. 'I'm just praying for the best tonight. Yes, [he is] very confident and so am I, just got to pray for the best.' Hamilton started in P3 but a disastrous strategy call meant the Brit fell down the pecking order in the final few laps owing to tyre degradation. Kardashian and Hamilton began dating in February this year and have since gone Instagram-official. The seven-time world champion had spent the summer with Kardashian, with the pair spotted together cycling on Lime bikes in London, while they also enjoyed a getaway in Paris. Kardashian and Hamilton have known each other for years before recently sparking up a romance. Back in late January, the stars were seen checking into an upscale hotel in the Cotswolds. Back in June, the star supported the professional racer as he competed during the F1 Monaco Grand Prix – where her infamous non-interaction with Brundle played out on TV screens across the world. The couple have also featured each other on their social media pages in recent months amid their romance. After noticing Kim with sister Khloe on the grid, legendary broadcaster Brundle attempted to have a word with the pair – who brutally snubbed him. And speaking moments before the race at Marina Bay Circuit, Kardashian jokingly asked 'Did I not know the rules?' – with guests on the grid told they must speak to broadcasters if they wish to enjoy the gridwalk. And in July, Hamilton made a rare comment about his relationship with The Kardashians star. While at the Silverstone Circuit racing venue in England, a fan said: 'You've been a happier man recently, why's that? Could that be a girlfriend?' Hamilton replied: 'Yeah, that’s a good one!' before later adding: 'Of course, of course, it's Kim.' Hamilton has also met the star's four children whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West: North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, seven. Kardashian recently shared another Instagram carousel which offered her followers a glimpse as she made a glamorous appearance at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Opening Night in LA earlier this month. While the reality star posed solo on the red carpet, the couple were later pictured together inside the venue.
