Lewis Hamilton Leaves F1 Fans in a Frenzy With Bizarre Game of Thrones Strategy for Italian GP

Safe to assume the lives of Formula 1 drivers differ completely from an average individual. The lifestyles they lead are extraordinary, and most people can hardly relate to the way they live their lives. However, there are certain scenarios that even make Lewis Hamilton relatable.

The seven-time world champion was all of us when, while talking about a show, he likes to watch. The show in question is the massively popular and successful HBO show Game of Thrones (GOT). After the show ran for eight seasons, HBO gave the GOT fanbase a lifeline with the release of a prequel to the show.

The prequel called House of the Dragon is in its initial stages and is gathering as much popularity as GOT. You know the hype is real when even the Mercedes seven-time world champion is thinking about the show on a race weekend.

Not just race weekend, Hamilton will think about binge-watching the show during the race as well. He jokingly revealed, “I was thinking of just taking my iPad with me in the race and when I’m in the DRS line just watch…there’s a new Game of Thrones out.”

“I’ve stopped watching it because I like to binge-watch. There are lots of adverts in the middle and then you’re at the end and are like ‘I want to watch the next thing’,” he added.

These two videos are plenty to showcase Hamilton’s love for the show, but let us give you more examples.
