Lewis Hamilton doesn’t seem to be a driver who goes against the rules; however, one can never truly know. As the driver’s conference is underway, a fan question revealed a rebellious side to the racer.
A fan asked Hamilton and his conference partner, Mick Schumacher how they react to the maddening traffic on the road. Lewis candidly explained that when traffic is unbearable, he takes out his motorbike; he does this to go down the middle to avoid getting stuck. Surprised, Mick retaliated, “That’s not allowed though, is it!?”
Having exposed himself, Hamilton quickly replied, “I didn’t know that!”
