Lewis Hamilton’s influence extends beyond the world of Formula 1. With his friends often paying him visits in the paddock and at parties, Hamilton stays on top of social media. But it extends even before the proper advent of websites such as Instagram and Twitter, as he knew how to keep himself in the game, get recognized, and develop his identity beyond the world of Formula 1. This resulted in him becoming the most popular driver of modern times.

The driver has always been a key social celebrity, thanks to his friends in pop culture, which includes big names such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Will Smith, Rihanna, Tom Cruise, and Gigi Hadid. One such instance in the past is that of the Briton being close with the pop queen, Beyonce, and her husband, one of the most famous rappers, Jay-Z. This incident prompted Jay-Z to make his dream of being a racer come true!

Lewis met the singers ahead of the 2009 Monaco Grand Prix and taught Beyonce how to drive like a professional! The Mirror quoted, “Beyonce’s so excited to be learning from him. And Jay’s even worse. He’s ready to put on his helmet and get in the fast lane himself.”
