Kim Kardashian fans are adamant that she and Lewis Hamilton just hard launched their relationship on Instagram.
Followers were quick to spot a surprising detail in one of Hamilton's posts this week, with the Formula One driver sharing a new reel.
In the clip, Lewis can be seen on a high-speed drive in his Ferrari F40 at the Daikoku Parking Area in Tokyo, Japan.
During the drive, a passenger can be seen in the car next to Lewis, although it's not completely clear at the beginning of the video who it is.

"HERE WE GO AGAIN... TOKYO DRIFT VOL. III," Hamilton wrote in the caption.
At the end of the clip, the camera pans to the passenger seat, and fans were delighted to see that the passenger was none other than Kim, who can be seen saying: "That's insane," following the drive.
Fans were quick to consider the video a hard launch of the relationship, with one writing: “Now THAT'S how an F1 champion does a Hard Launch!”
While another said: “Hard Launch…”
And a third added: ”GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRLS, an unexpected ending.”
Meanwhile, a fourth commented: ”Ohhhh Lewis knew what he was doing there at the end.”
According to a source speaking to PEOPLE, Lewis and Kim had been together in Tokyo alongside her children Saint, 10, Chicago, nine and Psalm, six.
Apparently, Khloé Kardashian also joined alongside her children, True, seven and Tatum, three.
Although they've known each other for over a decade, Kim, 45, and Lewis, 41, have only been romantically linked since early 2026.
An insider told PEOPLE magazine back in February that the celebrity duo were spotted in Paris together, while a separate insider told The Sun that they also enjoyed a romantic getaway to the Cotswolds.
Rumours were fuelled even further when Kim appeared at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in March, wearing a dazzling gold sparkly Gucci bodycon dress.
She wore her hair in a tousled side parting and added a glamorous face of make-up; however, the detail that really caught people's attention was her eyes.
Kim's usual dark brown eyes were nowhere to be seen as she sported piercing baby blue contact lenses - and they completely transformed her look.
Among the thousands of gushing Instagram comments was one from none other than Lewis himself, who simply dropped a heart eyes emoji under the post.
Fans have gone wild over the unexpected public comment, with one social media user replying: "So it’s official then?"
Meanwhile, a second and third chimed in with: "OMGGGG" and "yeah, it's official guys".
