Lewis Hamilton’s “Just Friend” Traded Her Loyalty Ahead of Miami Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton’s “just friend” Lindsey Vonn has recently been spotted in his rival’s garage. The Alpine skier was present in AlphaTauri garage, Red Bull’s sister team ahead of the much anticipated Miami Grand Prix.

Vonn took out her time to have a tour of the Italian team’s garage. She clicked photos standing next to Yuki Tsunoda’s car and put them on her Instagram stories. Furthermore, the skier who is also connected with Red Bull Snow was spotted with Maria Sharapova earlier.

Admittedly, Hamilton and Vonn share a good relationship. They are not only great friends who are often spotted with each other but are also rumored to have gone on a date back in 2016.

Interestingly, the Stevenage-born driver met with Vonn when the duo saw each other at Tommy Hilfiger’s party on Saturday night. As seen in the footage, the duo hugged each other as they met.

Hamilton didn’t miss the Saturday night party despite the jeopardy

The Mercedes star was spotted attending the party on Saturday night. This has come after the Silver Arrows ace had the worst qualifying session on American soil.

Hamilton was seen attending the party organized by Tommy Hilfiger in association with GQ. Being a global ambassador of the renowned lifestyle brand, the seven-time world champion made his coveted presence.

The 38-year-old was wearing a black chequered outfit that he paired up with white glasses and a white watch. Notably, no matter how the performance is, Hamilton never misses out to show his party animal side.

The British driver blamed team strategy for the Q2 blunder

Lewis Hamilton has revealed that it was the team strategy that was to be blamed for his Q2 exit. Talking about it in the post-qualification interview, the seven-time world champion said, “We need to be better with our timing.”

As per Sky Sports, the 38-year-old mentioned that he was one of the last drivers to go out for the final push. With a huge line ahead of him, it wasn’t possible to push maximum with nominal tire temperatures.

The former McLaren star further asserted since they don’t have a fast car, they can’t afford to risk the final push till the end. Hence, the team needs to be more focused on the timing, he believes.
