Racing is all about one thing: family. At least that’s what Vin Diesel taught us. The Hollywood star took a minute to appreciate a very important family member, Lewis Hamilton. As the Briton rewrote F1 history by becoming the only driver to score 100 wins, Vin Diesel congratulated his workout buddy.
Diesel posted on Instagram, “Faith and hard work pays off! Proud of you lil bro,” to which Hamilton replied: “Big Fam.”
