In the midst of Formula One drivers embracing their summer holidays on lavish islands and beaches, there’s Lewis Hamilton, chasing after an entirely different and, most importantly, distinct, goal. The seven-time F1 world champion is using up the three-week break to learn about his ethnicity, and it looks like it has been an absolutely flabbergasting journey for the Mercedes star.

Of course, Lewis Hamilton has even tried sharing every bit of his experience with his ardent fans on social media through words and pictures. However, rather hilariously, one such picture managed to unleash an amusing chain of reactions from the fans, which also includes bizarre theories.
Twitter bursts into laughter over the latest Lewis Hamilton post
First, let’s first talk about the picture itself. Ever since early Friday, Hamilton has been flooding his Instagram feed with pictures, including the ones featuring Gorillas. But that didn’t bother the fans much. Instead, moments later, a picture of Lewis Hamilton holding a goat managed to blow up on Twitter. Quite weird, isn’t it?
The most common reactions had the fans relating the animal goat to F1’s ‘G.O.A.T.‘, Hamilton. Ever since Hamilton crushed three of Michael Schumacher‘s greatest records (Championship titles, race wins, and pole positions), there has been a debate over who the real ‘Greatest of All Time’ is between the two racing alphas. And it looks like fans have used this viral picture as a window of opportunity to back their hero, Lewis Hamilton, as the real G.O.A.T.

But that’s not it, quite interestingly. There were also references to Nicholas Latifi, who, in recent times, has been referred to as ‘Goatifi’. There were even fans accusing Hamilton of cheating on his pet pal, Roscoe.
Here are some of the rib-tickling reactions that caught our attention.

“We hiked up through beautiful green fields where children would sing to us and up a volcano where we found Gorillas. What a sight it was to see them in their natural habitat relaxed and protected by the community around them. This is where they should be, in their own homes free to live their lives in peace. It was a profound and truly moving experience. I’m in love with this country. Thank you for having us, I can’t wait to come back,” wrote the Mercedes driver.
