Kim Kardashian's personal jet completes a 6,700-mile trip for Lewis Hamilton's Singapore Grand Prix.
When a high-profile celebrity’s private jet embarks on a significant intercontinental journey during a Formula 1 race weekend, it inevitably generates buzz in the paddock.
As reported by the sports and culture Instagram account pulsesports.hq, Kim Kardashian’s personal Gulfstream G650ER—registered as N1980K—took off from Honolulu, Hawaii, on Friday, 9 October. The aircraft completed a demanding 12-hour and 41-minute non-stop flight, covering roughly 6,700 miles in a straight trajectory before landing in Singapore in the early hours of Saturday.
Initially, the digital flight monitors led to widespread online speculation regarding whether the reality star was indeed aboard the plane or merely relocating the jet, but the live Formula 1 broadcast quickly clarified the situation.
A pink dress and a P2 finish
Any remaining uncertainty about her presence vanished on Saturday when Kardashian was unmistakably seen at the rear of the Scuderia Ferrari garage. Dressed in a pink halter-neck maxi gown, the 45-year-old Skims founder was prominently there to cheer on her partner, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, during the rain-affected Sprint race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Her attendance evidently acted as a significant lucky charm for the seasoned racer. Following a 30-minute rain interruption, Hamilton executed a swift start from the grid, rapidly advancing from his sixth-place position to third.

This weekend marks Kardashian's first official visit to the Formula 1 paddock since her widely publicized debut at the Monaco Grand Prix in early June. Interestingly, during that glamorous European event, Hamilton also achieved a podium finish, crossing the line in second place.
