Lewis Hamilton: The Story Off-track
Most of the world knows Lewis Hamilton for being the most successful Formula 1 driver. To gain such high levels of success, a driver needs to be on top of his game, week in and week out.
The recovery after a race is an underrated aspect, often overlooked by many fans. The race results and performances can take a huge mental and physical toll on an F1 driver. Thus, Lewis often engages in hobbies like music, fashion, surfing, and sky-diving. These help him to disconnect, reset and come back each weekend to deliver his absolute best.

The Brit is even featured in a song with Christina Aguilera. In 2018, he signed a multi-year deal with the fashion brand, Tommy Hilfiger. This made him an ambassador for the Mercedes sponsor. Furthermore, he has expressed his admiration for skydiving many times.
"This is my fav thing to do currently. The reason I sky dive is I love that there are really no limits in free fall. It’s incredible to just let your mind free, remove all doubt and any insecurities you may be feeling in life and jump."
