F1 fans joke celebrities do not know any other driver than Hamilton
After Tom Holland joined the likes of Maria Sharapova and Neymar in supporting Lewis Hamilton, several fans such as Danny and Dafne stated that these celebrities just name the British driver as “they don’t know any other drivers“.
Sky sport Germany asked every celebrity there and literally everyone roots for Lewis lol. They don’t know any others drivers

That’s the only one these celebrities know it is a safe answer. Anyway, I love you Tom

Meanwhile, some other fans pointed out that Holland supporting Hamilton seems ‘even funnier‘ as Red Bull invited the Hollywood actor to the paddock.

Lewis Hamilton has a decent Monaco GP race after a poor qualifying
After qualifying in sixth during the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday, Hamilton managed to gain two places during the main race to finish fourth, on a circuit where overtaking is extremely difficult. He finished one place ahead of Mercedes teammate Russell and crucially ahead of both the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
Hamilton’s only disappointment could be that he finished behind Alpine’s Esteban Ocon, who clinched only his third career F1 podium. After a decent weekend for Hamilton and Mercedes, they will now hope to carry on this form to the Spanish GP, which takes place next week from June 2 to 4.
