Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton step out for a romantic evening at Nobu

Kim Kardashian has a new driver in his life…and he clearly knows how to handle the turns.

The SKIMS mogul appears to have had a hard start on her new romance with Lewis Hamiltonand the setting couldn’t be more on-brand: an elegant two-hour dinner at Nobu Malibu where romance was written all over it.

Check out the photos… we’re told the duo pulled up around 9pm on Saturday, with Lewis riding like a true pro – not just behind the wheel, but in the gentlemanly department too. The F1 champion jumped out and opened the door for Kim as she got out of her ultra-luxurious Mercedes-Maybach S-Class – and she was absolutely beaming.

Inside, the two kept things intimate during their two-hour dinner… staying locked into each other before wrapping up around 11 p.m.

And when they emerged, there was no attempt to play it cool…both were grinning from ear to ear, looking like a couple who were well past the “just friends” phase.

Fashion Check: Kim kept it sweet and flirty in a pink jacket and gray skirt, while Lewis coordinated a muted gray jacket with darker gray pants — understated, yet refined.

As we told you, they were spotted during a discreet outing in Los Angeles Tuesday, dressed casually while walking luxury carpets… just a few days later arise together at Coachella.

Between the moment of opening the door, the incessant smiles, and a very public exit from Nobu, the couple isn’t just testing the waters…they’re going full throttle with this one.
