LEWIS Hamilton stole the show at the Monaco Grand Prix, blowing kisses and spraying champagne over girlfriend Kim Kardashian from the podium.
Hamilton – whose girlfriend Kardashian watched from the stands – came in second, despite a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit-lane, behind teenage winner Kimi Antonelli.
Romantic Hamilton, 41, blew Kardashian a kiss from the podium in a moment captured by TV cameras.
He also playfully sprayed her with champagne, as the couple put on a rare public show of emotion
But it was the Italian youngster Antonelli, 19, who took top billing.
The teenager became the youngest ever winner at the iconic Monaco Grand Prix after a chaotic, crash-strewn race.
Antonelli showed nerves of steel to overcome late red flag drama to hold off seven-time world champion Hamilton and be crowned king of the jewel in Formula One’s crown.
He obliterated Hamilton’s previous record when the Brit won in Monaco at age 23 in 2003.
A late red flag was called into action on lap 68 as the tarmac had broken up at the last corner.
It all started as Lance Stroll had clattered into the barrier in the final sector, prompting a safety car and pit stops from both Ferraris and Mercedes.

With cold tyres at the restart, home hero Charles Leclerc then chucked his Ferrari into the barrier at the final corner, prompting another safety car.
The red flag was brought out and the resumption was a standing start, which would theoretically give Hamilton the best possible chance of getting past Antonelli.
The restart began and Antonelli got away smoothly with Hamilton’s Ferrari snapping at his heels.
Hadjar suffered a poor start and dropped behind George Russell and Pierre Gasly before a spin from Carlos Sainz left the Williams driver out.
Russell had to come in and serve a penalty for failing to serve a previous five-second penalty for speeding correctly and eventually finished in 13th.
He was outshone by his team-mate again, who up until the red flag had been a whopping 30 seconds ahead with the sunroof down and his feet up.
On lap 59 he actually received a gentle ticking off from his race engineer Peter Bonnington who told him to SLOW DOWN as he set the fastest lap of the race.
Bono said: “We don’t need” fastest laps from him.
There was chaos from start to finish as Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Valtteri Bottas and Ollie Bearman also made up the SEVEN retirees alongside Stroll, Leclerc and Sainz.
At the very start Verstappen, who qualified in P2, was knocked out from the start line.
The Dutchman failed to even get away as he stalled and said on his team radio: “Nice. Completely f*****, guys. What the f***.”
Verstappen did get the car moving once the whole pack had moved past him, and asked Red Bull: “What should I do?”
Race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase said, “Just bring it home please, Max” and Verstappen returned to the pit lane.
Verstappen’s early exit meant Hamilton jumped into second and Leclerc was into third as race-leader Antonelli stormed ahead.
Russell kept the stewards busy throughout the race and it started with him being noted for a false start – but he was let off.
He then began a nail-biting battle with Hadjar for fourth with the Red Bull man ruffling feathers by cutting across the Nouvelle Chicane.
Hamilton had a brief spell of closing the gap to Antonelli but by lap 28 he had faded away and he was called into the pits.
Essex-born Bearman became the next casualty as he was forced to retire his Haas.
Disaster struck for Hamilton as he was slapped with a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
Maybe he was trying to impress new beau Kim Kardashian who was stood on the balcony above the Ferrari garage, because it was a silly mistake.
It meant he would have to finish five seconds clear of Leclerc at that point to keep second.
Russell’s frustrations continued as he was slapped with a five-second time penalty, although he was running 10 seconds ahead of Hadjar.
All of a sudden Norris, who was in seventh, RETIRED from the race due to a power unit problem.
It is the world champion’s second DNF in a row including Canada last time out, while he did not even start the race in China.
By lap 52 Leclerc was within five seconds of Hamilton, meaning he was technically in second.
Russell was then cleared of another wrongdoing by the stewards as he was a whisker away from a pit lane exit infringement.
Stroll went into the barrier to spice things up and the rest was history as Antonelli scampered away following the red flag.
