'@LewisHamilton was asked if he knew what happened to Kimi Antonelli's towel in Monaco and he said he knew nothing about

What happened: Asked whether he knew what happened to Kimi Antonelli's towel in Monaco, Lewis Hamilton said he knew nothing about it, according to reporter Adam Cooper. The towel anecdote has circulated widely across F1 social media over the past several days.

Why it matters: The exchange is a light footnote to a story that has lingered since Antonelli's Monaco victory, showing how quickly off-track curiosities take hold in the paddock conversation. Hamilton distancing himself keeps the small mystery unresolved rather than putting it to rest.

What to watch: Watch whether Antonelli or anyone in the Mercedes camp addresses the towel question directly to close out the running joke.
