Having the platform they have and doing what they do and because of their love for the sport, all F1 drivers are worshipped by their fans around the world. We might not understand the importance of this sitting at home but if one person can influence many, it’s an achievement that cannot be quantified. However, sitting on a high pedestal and being worshipped can change a person and make them take this love for granted. Although not the Mercedes men, not Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, and the two proved that again during the 2023 Abu Dhabi GP.

Formula 1 is all because of the fans and this is exactly why during every race weekend, the drivers take out time for an open live press conference with the masses in attendance. These fan interaction interviews are greatly appreciated by the fans and give some fun insights into the drivers while they have a casual second-hand conversation with their fans. Hamilton and Russell put a personal touch on the Abu Dhabi GP session.

The Mercedes men, after their interaction made a fans’ day by photobombing him. Well, it appears the wheelchair-bound fan was trying to get a photo with the two in the background. In fact, that’s exactly what he got but with much better results and greater success.

Hamilton and Russell saw the disabled fan getting his photo clicked right next to the stage and decided to photobomb him. The two squatted behind the fan to fit into the frame and got photos with him and even shook his hand before walking away.
