We know this article won't be popular with everyone, and that's perfectly fine. But the fact remains that perhaps Formula 1's greatest genius of all time, Lewis Hamilton, is celebrating his 40th birthday today.
The life of the black prince dressed in red is an open book, his life is one of the best documented careers in the sport. He will surely cause many pleasant/infuriating moments for Formula 1 fans in 2025, but we would like to recall some of his almost forgotten moments. For example, did you know that…
He wears a crucifix in every race so he is not afraid of death
He comes from a devout Catholic family and has stated on many occasions that his faith is very important in his racing: “Anytime
"It could happen any day, but I feel like God's hand is on me."
But I'm very afraid of sharks...
Everyone has their own "cross", and figuratively speaking, sharks are the same for the seven-time world champion. As a hobby surfer, he absolutely hates them!
If he wasn't competing, he would have been a soccer player!
And he would score goals for Szoboszlai as a striker at Arsenal FC. 😊
How does he have a doppelganger?
And in the form of a wax statue, which can be viewed at Madame Tussauds on March 18, 2009. The name "doppelganger" is absolutely not an exaggeration, it took six months to create and cost 150,000 British pounds.
Once, his driver's license and even his car were "taken away" for speeding on the road...
In December 2007, Hamilton was banned from driving in France for a month after being caught speeding at 200 km/h on a local motorway. But that wasn't the end of the story, as his Mercedes-Benz CLK was also confiscated...
Happy birthday, Lewis!
