“Def one for the books” – this is how Lewis Hamilton described his summer break as he enjoyed every ounce of his Africa trip. Hamilton had a blast in August from exploring Senegal to driving through the Moroccan desert. Now, he has already reported to his Mercedes duties at Zandvoort. But of course, the Briton is still feeling the blues after having to leave Africa. So, he took to his Instagram page and shared some snaps from the journey to his “motherland“.
After returning from Africa, Lewis is already neck deep in work for Mercedes. Before starting the second leg of his last season with the Silver Arrows, he went for an interview for the team’s press entourage. There, he recounted when his former McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen played heavy metal music. He said, “When I was with Heikki, he was playing like heavy metal stuff. I was like, “Oh my God, my head is going to explode.”
