Lewis Hamilton’s Highly Emotional Response to This Non-Viable ‘Younger-Self’ Scenario

The seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will reach yet another major milestone in his F1 career. In a career that has already spanned 16 years since 2007, Hamilton has won the lot. And even at 37, we’re nowhere near the conclusion of the Hamilton saga at the pinnacle of motorsport.

In the last 16 years, Hamilton has put himself at the very top of F1 and made his case for the greatest of all time. The stats in the wake of his seven champion titles are incredible, however, Hamilton is not a stats guy. The upcoming French GP will be the 300th Grand Prix of Hamilton’s career. However, the Mercedes man was completely unaware of this milestone. And even confessed it does not make any difference in his life as well.

Although 300 Grands Prix worth of experience is a gold mine for anyone. And when one interviewer asked what advice he would give his younger self, the Brit had an elaborate reply. Hamilton said, “Have a deep conversation, probably.”

“I think naturally when you’re a little bit younger, you feel like you’re going to live forever and that you’ve got all the time in the world. And I would just say time is precious so just maximise every moment you get with family with friends, create memories, that’s the most important thing. And don’t stress too much,” he added.

A much more relaxed and experienced Hamilton can definitely teach his younger self a thing or two. But seeing how unbothered Hamilton is with this milestone, the questioning took a different course.

The milestone wasn’t really on Hamilton’s mind. What is on his mind is the French GP, which on paper looks well suited for the Mercedes W13. And Hamilton answered a question regarding the expectations for the weekend.

He said, “Well, every weekend we are hoping to improve for sure. And I really don’t know what to expect this weekend.”

“We’re constantly making changes to the car, the aero forces, and everything like that. So I’m hoping that we discover something this weekend that helps us creep a little bit further forward. But in general, this has been a decent race for us. So I hope it’s the same this weekend,” he added on an optimistic note.
