Lewis Hamilton is one of the most famous athletes in the world. He’s easily recognized by everyone as he not only excels on the track but also off it. We can often see him on the red carpets of several events, such as award shows and fashion weeks.

He’s very well known in the United States of America and is a constant presence in front of the camera there. But interestingly, many in the wrestling world are also a fan of the 7-time world champion.

WWE legend Triple H sent a custom-made WWE Championship belt to the Mercedes driver ahead of the season finale in Abu Dhabi last season. Although Hamilton lost the championship fight in Abu Dhabi yet, he earned himself another memorabilia to put in his trophy cabinet.

Can Lewis Hamilton bounce back in Australia next week?

Lewis Hamilton had a disastrous Saudi Arabian Grand Prix last week. For the first time since Brazil 2017, he failed to make it to Q2 and was genuinely beaten on pace by his teammate George Russell.

But he fared better in the race as he managed to finish P10 and bring home a solitary point. He was pleased with his driving in the race and the performance of the car, but he could have finished higher if he had pitted earlier.

“Balance-wise, the car felt good, but just not fast enough. The end result isn’t great, but the race was going relatively well. I was struggling with tire temperatures at the beginning, but then I started to gain on the cars ahead on the Medium tire. It was a really good stint,” said Lewis.

But it was still quite an enormous shock to see the 7-time world champion being so uncompetitive throughout the weekend. Hamilton would hope that he could bounce back when F1 goes to Australia next week.
