Before returning to Formula 1 at Spa-Francorchamps, Lewis Hamilton enjoyed a few days of rest. The Ferrari driver stood out in a completely different field by impressing Kim Kardashian during a wakeboarding session.

Used to making headlines on Formula 1 circuits, Lewis Hamilton showed that he is also comfortable… on the water. Before the Belgian Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion took a few days off in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where he spent time with Kim Kardashian.
Videos shared on social media show the Ferrari driver trying wakeboarding with remarkable ease. Towed by a boat, Hamilton performs tricks, perfectly controls his balance, and even executes a rotation at the top of the wave.
A performance that did not leave Kim Kardashian indifferent.
“You did it!”
At the moment Lewis Hamilton lands his trick, Kim Kardashian’s voice is heard in the video.
“You did it!” she exclaims, visibly impressed by the Briton’s demonstration.
Hamilton then attempts another rotation, but this time fails to complete it properly. A failure without consequence, which did not prevent the clip from going viral among fans.

The couple took advantage of this stay in Idaho to unwind before the championship resumed. Another video posted on social media shows Kim Kardashian diving into Lake Coeur d’Alene, encouraged by Lewis Hamilton, who films the scene.
Chicago, one of the American personality’s daughters, was also present during this vacation.
Goal: confirm the revival at Ferrari
This break comes just days before the Belgian Grand Prix, where Hamilton will try to continue his good momentum with Ferrari.
Third in the world championship with 147 points, the Briton is coming off his first win with the Scuderia this season and five podiums in nine races. He is only seven points behind George Russell, second, and 32 points behind leader Kimi Antonelli.
After recharging his batteries away from the paddocks, Lewis Hamilton now hopes to return to the top on one of his favorite circuits: Spa-Francorchamps.
