Hamilton, 41, secured his third podium of the season at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, finishing second after a dramatic ending. However, the seven-time world champion has come under fire for criticising the super-rich on Jay Shetty's podcast three and a half years ago.

Hamilton's comments resurfaced on the same weekend his girlfriend watched him race for the first time. The video of Hamilton making the statement re-emerged on social media and came under scrutiny because Hamilton's new beau Kim is worth an estimated $1.9 billion.

The combined wealth of the two means that some fans have been critical of Hamilton's previous comments. One wrote: 'Both the amount of hypocrisy here and the lack of pushback is really something to behold.'

Who is the unnamed buyer?

The attention across the weekend was on the seven-time world champion's girlfriend, who was attending a grand prix for the first time since their relationship came into the public eye. Following the end of the race, Hamilton could be seen rushing over to Kim to give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
