The 2022 F1 season hasn’t been kind to Lewis Hamilton. As the Mercedes star appears to take part in the penultimate race of the season in Brazil, he found himself against the favor of luck. As Hamilton is on his way to start Saturday’s sprint from P8, he shared something “incredible” that inspired him.
In his recent Instagram story, Hamilton shared a video of a man playing the keyboard. However, he’s not an ordinary man, but a physical disability and an extremely talented individual. His skills got the seven-time world champion to give him a shout-out on social media.

Hamilton has always loved racing at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace as the F1 world will never forget how he won the 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix despite a 25-place grid penalty. With Brazil being one of his happy hunting grounds, the Briton also received honorary citizenship of the South American country.
However, things look very different this time around for Hamilton. The man with 103 race wins in his career is still to win a race this season. Moreover, he finds himself trailing his new Mercedes teammate George Russell by 15 points after the Mexican Grand Prix.
