“Always the Last One to Finish…”: F1’s Fastest Man Lewis Hamilton Opens Up on Where He Truly Lacks Pace

It is tough to imagine Seven Time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton being slow. But, everything that we saw with the Mercedes car this season, even that can be a possibility.

In an adorable interview from 2017, with Chloe, Lewis Hamilton gave some interesting answers about his life. Although the Mercedes F1 driver is considered among one of the best drivers in Formula 1 history, if not the best, his interviews on screen have always been very light-hearted and modest.

At the start of the interview, Chloe and Lewis are seen competing with remote-controlled cars, and despite Hamilton’s desperate efforts to win, he ends up running off the track. This was quite uncharacteristic for the World Champion. Although he accepts his defeat with a little laugh and says, “I should have listened to you” to Chloe.

But then the Formula One Speedster was puzzled for a second when Chloe asked, “You are one of the World’s fastest men, but, are you really slow at anything?”

To this, Hamilton replied, “I am very slow at lots of things. During dinner, I am always the last one to finish.”

He added, “I am also really slow at packing my bags, as well. I need to have a day off to pack.”

It just goes to show Lewis may be a perfectionist when it comes to swiftly maneuvering the Mercedes car through the vicious corners of Monaco or breezing down the straights of Monza, but at the end of the day, he is still a human.

Chloe’s question prompts Lewis Hamilton’s hesitation

When Chloe asked Lewis, “If you could time travel, would you travel to the future or the past?”–Lewis was definitely in two minds to answer the question, exclaiming it is a “difficult one” and then asking Chloe to answer the same question first.

“I am going to go to the past, cause I am going to see the future,” Chloe said, to which Lewis replied, “If I could do both, I will go to the past first cause I want to see the Dinosaurs, I want to see If they are real.”
