Fans generally believe that a famous personality’s name like Lewis Hamilton is often used for the wrong reasons by fans and detractors in the general audience. However, in many cases, an entity or sportsperson’s colleagues can also do the same. Social media, YouTube, Instagram, etc. are new careers that branch out for several celebrities after they retire from their work.

Similarly, former F1 and Haas driver Romain Grosjean has also found a career in the media world. He currently boasts more than 221k subscribers on his YouTube channel, with several of his videos gaining major views. However, the driver recently used Lewis Hamilton’s name in the title of his video, which did not settle well with many Twitter fans.
They reacted negatively to the title “Does Romain Grosjean Like Lewis Hamilton? | Q&A”. Many felt that the driver was gaining publicity by using the seven-time world champion’s name. And this comes after Grosjean is still scheduled to drive a Mercedes F1 car soon.

Notably, fans widely regard Hamilton as the biggest entity on the current F1 grid. The Mercedes driver is a renowned name across the globe, sometimes gracing the Met Gala or being present at high-end Hollywood parties. The driver also hangs out with acclaimed names in the world of music and film industry; Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Rihanna, Will Smith, etc.
Understandably, even if many don’t know Hamilton by his profession, they must’ve surely heard of his name in one way or another. Shockingly, the driver’s former arch-nemesis, Nico Rosberg, has also used Hamilton’s name in several of his videos.

Grosjean also spoke about his Mercedes drive scheduled for a long time. When asked about when is he driving the car, he revealed, “No not yet, it’s 100% my fault, I haven’t been able to give myself some dates that I’m back in Europe. Obviously, if you have been following me on social you know I’ve been, I moved in US Miami. That’s my house in Miami, my sofa, “
“Moved in December 2021, got really busy in 2020….and he told me that yes the test was happening and I don’t doubt it …it should be the 2020, 2019 or 2020 Mercedes 101 car…”
