Over Christmas, aside from spending time with his family, Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton went online to have a go at the video game – Gran Turismo.
But it did not go well for the 7-time world champion as he kept getting driven off the road. In a video shared by Mercedes on their social media, Hamilton shared his experience by sharing the anecdote.
The Briton revealed that there was a fan who had Hamilton’s initials like LH, Lewis, Lewis GB or something 44 and he kept taking Hamilton out. The fan, meanwhile, did not realise that it was the Mercedes star himself he was playing against.
Hamilton’s teammate George Russell who was sitting right next to him, jokingly said, “you’ve found me.”

It’s sad with @LewisHamilton‘s power within Sport & how many people he influences, his fanbase who are young and old, and yet he’s showing everyone that he happily supports domestic abusers, child abusers,and perverts from Hollywood cesspool. So disgusting #BradPittIsAnAbuser

As per the New York Times, Angelina Jolie, Pitt’s ex-wife made allegations that he had “choked one of the children and struck another in the face”. She also accused him of inflicting some harm on her as well.
Pitt denied the claims made by Jolie and no charges were filed against him.
Hamilton spent his winter vacation in Antarctica
To enjoy his 38th birthday, the 7-time world champion went on a trip to Antarctica with his renowned friends. He was joined by 3-time Olympic gold-medallist Shaun White and his wife Nina Dobrev – an actress.
During his trip, he also became a part of a massive breakout about his current girlfriend. Officially, Hamilton is single but a video on the internet had the fans crazed about a girl he was seen hanging out with.
The video shared by White showed Hamilton cosily sitting next to a woman. The woman was not completely captured by the camera but it did grab fans’ attention.
