We know this article won't be popular with everyone, and that's perfectly normal. However, it's a fact that Lewis Hamilton, perhaps the greatest genius in Formula 1 history, is celebrating his fortieth birthday today.
The black prince in red has a life that's an open book, his career in sport one of the best documented. It's certain that in 2025, he will continue to provoke many pleasant and frustrating moments for Formula 1 fans, and now we want to recall some of his almost forgotten moments. For example, did you know that...
He carries a cross in every race, so he is not afraid of death
He comes from a believing Catholic family and has stated on several occasions that his faith is very important to his conduct: "It can happen any day, but I feel that God's hand is upon me."
However, he is very afraid of sharks...
Everyone has their "own cross," and figuratively speaking, for this seven-time world champion, it's sharks. As a surfing enthusiast, he truly hates them!
If he didn't run, he would be a footballer!
And he would score goals for Arsenal FC as a striker. 😊
He has a lookalike
In fact, in the form of a wax statue, which can be seen at Madame Tussauds since March 18, 2009. The term "double" is absolutely not an exaggeration; its creation took six months and cost 150,000 pounds.
Once his driving license was "revoked" for speeding, and even his car...
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. However, the story doesn't end there, as his Mercedes-Benz CLK was also confiscated...
Happy birthday, Lewis!
