Lewis Hamilton, apart from being a talented race car driver, has always been a fighter. The Brit is as competitive as they come, a necessary trait for a Formula 1 driver. Lewis was born with this spirit as he details a story that gives us a glimpse into his mindset. Even at 15 years of age, Lewis was as competitive as he is today.
Now at 37 years old, Lewis is still fighting for places. He drove an incredible race at the Spanish GP as he finished P5 after falling down to P19 at the beginning of the race. And the story from his karting days is a testament to the fighting spirit he showcased this weekend. Similar to a story Lewis shares on his Instagram from back when he was 15 and a caption that details the story.

The caption read, “When I was 15 I hurt my wrist. I walked myself to the hospital where doctors told me it was broken and I needed a cast. I had just started the European Formula A. So I did what I had to do: had the cast removed, put on a lighter weight one, and raced one handed.”

Lewis Hamilton was recently photographed near Sergio Perez’s RB-18. The Mercedes man is being accused of breaching a parc ferme regulation, a serious offense in the eyes of the FIA, under Article 2.5.1. An offense that earned the Red Bull man, Max Verstappen, a hefty $53,300 penalty in Brazil in 2021.
But there is no significant proof apart from an image that is making its round on the internet. This will not be enough to convince the FIA to take action against the seven-time world champion. And even if found guilty, it would been a minor inconvenience for the Brit as it was for Max.
