The Mercedes icon shared the “best race” of his career
The former McLaren star has recently opened up on the “best race” of his career. Speaking in a video made by Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton revealed that the 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix win was his best race.
In the video made on the British driver’s ten years of success at the team, Hamilton shared that there were multiple reasons why the race in Sao Paulo is so special to him.
From being emotionally moved by the Coronavirus’ effect in Brazil, where over half a million people lost their lives, to having endless admiration for Ayrton Senna, the race win was one to remember for a long time as it speaks volumes.
