Kickboxer Andrew ‘Cobra’ Tate Issues Venomous Challenge to 7X F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton: “Give Me It, Give Me the Car”

Recently, Formula 1 launched a campaign termed ‘Drive it out’ which aims to remove any kind of abuse an individual faces on or off the track, be it a fan or a driver. Unfortunately, the number of abusive incidents during a Grand Prix weekend has increased substantially and Andrew Tate’s reaction to Lewis Hamilton is the prime example of this.

The multi-time kickboxing world champion attended a Grand Prix session on track and as he saw the drivers honing their race craft during the practice session, the kickboxer slandered against the F1 drivers, and at the heart of his slander was one of the most accomplished driver of F1, Hamilton.

He said, “I can do that though, I can do that. It’s not impressive, I can do that.”

“Get in a car, start, go, left, right. F*ck it, I will go right now.”

“Can’t beat me at this shit. Give me it, give me the car.”

“They won’t give me the car because they know I’ll win. That’s why they won’t give me the car. They know I’ll win.”

“When I see someone do something I couldn’t do, I’m like ‘All right, cool, maybe’ which is very rare. But like drive a car. Brothers, all I do is drive cars.”

This is where his brother stepped in and mocked Hamilton’s height, “No, watch out for a sec. But if Lewis Hamilton, yeah, got out of his car, and like I had to fight him for his car, f**king he’s like this tall” while resembling a person of short stature.

Andrew Tate replied by calling the Mercedes driver, “P*ssy, P*ssy.”

Andrew Tate takes shots at Lewis Hamilton for being vegan

In 2007, when the boy from Stevenage debuted in top-flight racing, he was probably unaware of what was about to unfold in his life. Over the years, he has grown multi-fold and one of the things that have changed since his initial days in F1 is his diet. The Brit adopted plant-based nutrition and ever since has been outspoken about its benefits.

Unfortunately, this is what the Tate brothers attacked next, after defaming him over his stature and driving abilities. The conversation continued with Tristan Tate suggesting, “Break his spine. ” 

The kickboxer, in favor of the idea, said “Snap it.”

“Like crumble it into a ball,” added his brother.

Nonetheless, this is when the duo was told, “Hang on, hang on, He’s vegan too.” 

As the news about Brit’s veganism broke to the Tate brothers, they couldn’t register what they just learned and exclaimed, “No! Why? Why? You’re the f*cking, You’re Lewis Hamilton!” 

Being the sole black driver on the grid, Hamilton has faced a fair amount of hardship in his career. Yet, the athlete with an eagle inked on his neck rises and vocalizes for things he believes in. In an interview with Men’s Health, he promoted veganism.

He said, “I decided to follow a plant-based diet. The only thing I regret is not having done it before.”

“My taste buds have learned about things that I never thought I would eat and that I now love: falafel, avocado, beetroot, fresh and dried fruit.”

“I’ve also noticed a marked improvement in my fitness level since I switched, which is motivating.”
