Lewis Hamilton knows how to command attention both on and off the circuit. The seven-time world champion once again became one of the biggest talking points of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
While Formula One fans focused on his strong performance in Ferrari colors, Hamilton also arrived wearing an ultra-exclusive Richard Mille RM 43-01 Ferrari Split-Seconds Chronograph, reportedly valued at around $2.2 million.
The limited-edition timepiece, created through Richard Mille’s partnership with Ferrari, is one of only 75 pieces of its kind produced worldwide, according to the retailer's website.

Adding another layer of celebrity intrigue was the presence of his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, who spent the weekend in Monaco supporting Hamilton. Kardashian was spotted around the Ferrari garage during qualifying and race weekend, while Hamilton later acknowledged the support of close friends who attended the event.
The pair's appearance together further amplified media attention surrounding Ferrari's star driver during one of Formula 1’s most glamorous races. Beyond the headlines, Hamilton delivered where it mattered most.
Ferrari continued to show encouraging pace, and the British driver secured another strong result, further strengthening confidence that he is becoming increasingly comfortable with the Scuderia package.
Attention now shifts to the Spanish Grand Prix, where expectations around Hamilton are steadily rising. Barcelona's more conventional layout should provide a clearer indication of Ferrari's true competitiveness, and many within the paddock will be watching closely to see whether Hamilton can convert recent momentum into a genuine challenge at the front.
