In the blue corner, is the seven-time F1 world champion who holds the world record for most race wins and pole positions, Lewis Hamilton. While in the red corner is the four-time kickboxing champion, Andrew Tate with no F1 mileage under his belt, and still under the impression that he can KO the F1 ace in his own territory.
A few years ago, Tate attended a Grand Prix session on the track to get his first taste of the racing action. The talented drivers did not impress the 35-year-old as he believed that he can outperform them in their own machinery. Following that, the American slandered the F1 athletes, and at the heart of his slander was the driver synonymous with F1, Lewis Hamilton.

This is not the first time the internet personality has been in the limelight for his distasteful remarks. Such defamation incidents have previously led to his ban on the platform, Twitter. Now, adding to the list of social media ban is the Meta platforms, Facebook, and Instagram alongside TikTok; which the team LH feels was inevitable, given his remarks over Hamilton.

The kickboxer with his brother mocked the Mercedes ace as Tristan Tate stated, “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.”
What if Lewis Hamilton just tweeted ‘Who the fuck is Andrew Tate ?’ then closed twitter

I would genuinely pay money to watch Andrew Tate try and drive Lewis Hamilton's Formula 1 car.
He'll be crying before the end of one lap from the g-forces trying to rip his body to shreds if he doesn't crash.
Nobody disrespects a race driver like that. Put up or shut up.
