Lewis Hamilton and his shirtless pictures have caused quite a ruckus in 2022. Whenever the 7-time World Champion posts a shirtless picture of himself on his socials, someone’s job in the F1 grid comes in danger.
The Briton has been enjoying his winter break in Antarctica, exploring the unexplored corner of the world. But, while we thought everyone’s jobs have been locked in ahead of the 2023 season, Lewis dropped another bomb.
Mercedes’s social media team shared the picture Hamilton posted on his Instagram story with the caption, “What F1 drama is going to kick off today!” And indeed we have our eyes open!
What @F1 drama is going to kick off today… 👀😅
