Lewis Hamilton almost fired the pilot of his $20 million jet because he used the toilet

Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton was about to fire the pilot of his private jet after he failed to follow the rules and used the toilet.

Lewis Hamilton is one of the richest drivers on the F1 grid and it is no mystery that he has surrounded himself with various lavish items.

One of those luxurious items was his $20 Million worth of private jet. He had imported the jet from Canada in 2013 and soon landed in trouble because of it.

The jet caused a lot of problems for the 7-time world champion from landing him into tax fraud to going against his views about the environment.

But one bizarre incident that happened on his private jet has now caught the spotlight. Hamilton’s ex-girlfriend, Veronica Valle gave an inclusive interview to the Sun and told that the Briton lost his temper because the pilot of his $20 Million beauty went against Hamilton’s rules.

She told the Sun that the two of them were on their way to New York and as soon as he found out that the pilot had used the toilet of his jet to take a dump, he freaked out.

“He was going to fire the pilot! He said, ‘Everybody knows that they shouldn’t take a s*** on my plane’. He was really mad,” Valle revealed to the Sun.

Lewis Hamilton has strange toilet rules

Hamilton had spotted Valle on Instagram in August 2015 and sent her a private text before flying her out to Barbados.

Valle revealed that at first, the Mercedes star was very sweet toward her but he soon lost his temper. The model herself faced Hamilton’s temper when she used the wrong toilet at his house in Monaco.

As soon as the Briton saw her coming out of the toilet, he confronted her as Valle recalled the F1 star being pretty upset.

“It felt like he was going to yell at me, but in the end, he just said, ‘You know you weren’t supposed to use that! He said I should have used the one in the guestroom. It was completely bizarre,” she said.
