We know this article won’t be popular with everyone, and that’s totally fine. However, it’s a fact that perhaps the greatest genius in Formula 1 history, Lewis Hamilton, celebrates his 40th birthday today.
The black-clad prince in red has a life like an open book, his career in sports is one of the best documented. Surely in 2025 he will also provide many pleasant/frustrating moments for Formula 1 fans, and we would like to recall some of his forgotten moments. For example, did you know that…
Carrying the cross, he is not afraid of death
He comes from a Catholic family and has repeatedly emphasized that his faith is very important in his racing: "Whenever
it may happen, but I feel that God's hand is upon me"
However, he is very afraid of sharks…
Everyone has their own “cross,” figuratively speaking, sharks are the cross of the seven-time world champion. As a surfing enthusiast, he is downright disgusted by them!
If it weren't for racing, he would have become a footballer!
And he would play as a striker for Arsenal FC, scoring goals for Szoboszlai. 😊
He has his own wax figure
In the exact form of the wax figure that has been on display at Madame Tussauds since 18th March 2009. To call it a likeness is no exaggeration, it took six months and cost 150,000 pounds to make.
He once had his driving license taken away for speeding and even had his car confiscated…
In December 2007, Hamilton was banned from driving for a month in France after driving 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!
