Kim Kardashian sends Kimi Antonelli unique gift after stealing his towel during Monaco Grand Prix

Kim Kardashian sent Kimi Antonelli a special gift after she controversially stole his towel at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Mercedes youngster Antonelli continued to prove why he is a serious title contendor this year as he extended his lead atop the Formula One Drivers' standings by becoming the youngest-ever Monaco Grand Prix winner.

After becoming the youngest driver in F1 history to complete a Grand Slam, achieving the win, pole position, fastest lap and led all 78-laps of Sunday's Grand Prix, Antonelli now sits 66 points clear of second-placed Lewis Hamilton.

However, it wasn't Antonelli's amazing feats that made the headlines after the race, as Hollywood guest Kardashian stirred up controversy for her actions during the podium ceremony.

As Antonelli celebrated his victory, the reality TV star, who is reportedly dating Hamilton, was caught on camera 'stealing' his official winner's podium towel, reserved to wipe away sweat and champagne.

Although Antonelli appeared to not have been bothered by the seemingly innocent mistake, Kardashian's actions led to outrage online with many F1 fans calling her out for being 'selfish'.

And it appears that Kardashian wanted to make sure she made amends as she decided to gift Antonelli a fresh white towel with "To Kimi from Kim" stitched into it ahead of the upcoming Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix

In a video posted on Mercedes' Instagram, Antonelli is handed the towel and replies: "Thank you Kim!"

The youngster was later seen wearing the towel around his neck as he drove around the Barcelona paddock on a scooter.

After winning five of the first six grands prix this year, Antonelli now finds himself as the firm favourite to win the 2026 F1 title despite heading into the year as a heavy underdog.

The 19-year-old has a 66-point lead over Ferrari's Hamilton, while Mercedes teammate George Russell, who was the favourite to win the title pre-season, sit a further two points behind.

Despite this, Antonelli believes that he still has a lot to prove both to himself and to others if he is to go on and become the the youngest-ever Formula One World Drivers' Champion.

"There are questions that still need to be answered on my side," Antonelli said in Barcelona.

"How much further I can go in a short period of time, how much I can push myself even further and how much I can grow and how big is the potential?

"Last year I would doubt a lot myself, especially during that difficult period in Europe," he said.

"This year it's a different story and you mature a lot after one year in F1 not only as a driver but also as a person.

"Last year during the difficult period, I got to know myself better. Considering how bad it was in the moment, I am very grateful it happened because it made me grow a lot and taught me a lot about myself. This year I haven't been questioning or doubting myself."
