‘B-Grade Driver’ Lewis Hamilton Slammed With Diabolical Take On Recent Appearance With Selena Gomez & Post Malone

Winning the world championship on seven occasions is difficult, ask Lewis Hamilton. He is one of the greatest drivers ever to grace the sport. Even if you’re not a supporter, you have to acknowledge Lewis and his abilities behind a single-seater. However, a handful of people might still call him a B-grade driver.

And that’s precisely what we got to hear on a podcast, entitled ‘The Lockout Podcast’. The podcast covers recent Formula 1 news. And during this week’s podcast, the hosts talked about Lewis partying with Selena Gomez, Post Malone, and Cara Delevingne. And one of them even went on to call Lewis a B-grade driver.

During the podcast introduction, the speaker called the celebrities and Lewis ‘B-grade’. He specifically said, “Yeah sounds about right, B-grade driver, B-grade celebrities.” Although we are all entitled to our own opinions, you do not have to be a fan of the 7-time world champion to see how calling him a ‘B-grade driver’ was, at the very least, not accurate.

To put up an argument against the comment, Lewis Hamilton is one of the most decorated drivers in the sport’s history. The multiple records he holds put him clear of the competition with a hefty margin.

Lewis holds the record for most wins (103), pole positions (103), and podium finishes (183) among others. Moreover, he has won a race in each of the Formula 1 seasons since his debut back in 2007. A win in 2022 will stretch this streak to 16 years in a row.

Lewis’s incredible performance behind a single-seater makes him an incredibly marketable athlete. The British star is the face of multiple brands like Monster Energy, Bose, Sony, and Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few.
