“Lewis Hamilton is definitely standing on a box here!”- F1 Twitter in awe over LeBron James hanging out with the seven-time World Champion in Monaco

Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton spent time with NBA legend LeBron James after the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.

Hamilton’s 2022 has been very quiet by his standards. Along with Mercedes, the Brit dominated F1 for the last eight years, winning six Titles in the process. The regulation changes this year hit the Silver Arrows hard, and they no longer have the best car on the grid.

The W13 is lacking in performance compared to the Ferrari and Red Bull, so competing for podiums and wins is no longer a norm for Hamilton. On top of that, he is being outperformed by his new teammate George Russell.

The 24-year old has finished top 5 in every single race this season, and his consistency has put him 34 points ahead of Hamilton in the standings thus far.

At the Monaco GP last Sunday, Hamilton finished eighth. It was yet another underwhelming performance for him, as his problems behind the wheel continue. After the race, he spent time with 18 time NBA all-star LeBron James.

Fans reacted to the two all-time greats sharing a moment, and a particular aspect surprised quite a few of them. James is 6″9 tall, and Hamilton is 5″7. The height difference between the two didn’t look as stark as it should’ve, which surprised plenty of fans on social media.
