Kim Kardashian spotted on romantic Tokyo getaway with Lewis Hamilton amid blossoming relationship – as Formula One star reveals reason behind his Ferrari revival
Lewis Hamilton’s recipe for revival emerges. He boasts that he works harder than the other drivers on the grid.
That was the seven-time world champion’s decision at Suzuka ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, but no one is yet sure whether the hard work will result in him recapturing the old lightning fork.
He won four times at this grand old track and once at Fuji, where he had the first wet weather run of his career.
His Pacific record could contribute to a better mood after the opening races in Melbourne and Shanghai, where he finished fourth and third, partly by taking away from his soul the worst horrors of last year.
Another restorative factor is that the man in the Ferrari came here from visiting Tokyo with his new girlfriend, Kim Kardashian. Former Mercedes team-mate George Russell said: ‘Lewis is obviously in a much happier place in life and that’s probably because he’s loved.’
It is not yet known whether Kardashian will participate in Sunday’s race. Meanwhile, in another branch of reality, Hamilton described the honed work ethic that has sustained his bid for an eighth world title.

He said of the relative improvement in form: ‘I don’t see it as a relief. It’s just a change of attitude and not letting all the “nonsense” that comes out of people’s mouths get in the way of knowing who I am and what I can do.
“Hopefully you’ve seen that in the last two races, especially the last one (where he had a wheel-to-wheel race with Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc).”
‘I will try to show this throughout the year.
‘No matter what people write, I haven’t lost what I had. I will continue to train harder than ever.
‘I ran 100km between races in Tokyo and I know that none of the riders I raced against trained as hard as I did and especially at my age.
‘I love that I still have the drive to push myself. I was at the hotel and a few drivers walked in and I had finished my run. I knew they had just taken off. Engagement is more present than ever. ‘I will definitely dedicate everything I have to this fight and these cars.’
He denied this fact, recalling his magnificent record in Japan, where only Michael Schumacher won more often in the country. He’s not much of a hoarder of his past races, he doesn’t remember the details, however much he enjoys his accumulation of success over 20 seasons.
‘I don’t rely on what I did before to approach things now,’ he added. ‘I come here as if it were the first time. It’s a new car and every corner is a little different.
‘I never said I lost confidence last year. As an athlete, going through seasons and tough times like this is a natural part of the process. The most important thing is to get back on my feet and that’s what I did this year. Nobody did this for me.
‘I did it for myself. Despite the difficulties, I continued to push. I’m proud to finally get to this point.’
