A video was shared by fans on Instagram and YouTube of Tate at the Abu Dhabi GP. The internet personality was standing on the edge of a balcony at the race track, with his eyes glued to the phone. F1 stars like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were driving past him, but he intentionally made it a point to not bat an eye at them.
Plenty of fans in the comment sections of these posts were actually bewildered as to why someone like him would attend an F1 race in the first place, especially since he doesn’t seen to show any interest whatsoever.

Andrew Tate disrespected Lewis Hamilton for being short and vegan
This isn’t the first time Tate’s actions in the world of F1 have offended fans of the sport. Earlier this year, a video of him at Yas Marina circuit emerged where he disrespected Hamilton, and crossed several lines while doing so.
Tate and his entourage made fun of Hamilton’s 5″8 height, and insulted him for being vegan. On top of that, he baffled fans by suggesting that driving an F1 car is ‘very easy’. He was adamant that beating Hamilton in a car race won’t be difficult at all, and majority of the fans found that laughable.
“If Lewis Hamilton got out of his car,” Tristan Tate began. “And I had to fight him for his car, he’s like this tall.”
However, the 36-year-old’s entourage crossed the line when the took a dig at Hamilton’s personal life. They brought up his ex-partner Nicole Scherzinger’s name, and joked about their relationship, with the latter being targeted in particular.
Hamilton, however, didn’t respond to any of these comments made by Tate, and has probably chosen to ignore them.
