Will Smith and the waving flag

The Hollywood bigshot has always had a thing for F1 with him attending the 2018 season finale in Abu Dhabi.

Rough start to 2022 for Lewis Hamilton

The Britton lost out to Max Verstappen in 2021 in the race for the driver’s title. His start to 2022 has been far from ideal. The season opener saw him struggle with the Haas and Alpines in the midfield. However, some last-minute luck ensured that he secured a P3 finish.

The second race in Jeddah saw him struggle massively and finish P10. The race in Australia was better with him finishing in P4 right behind his teammate George Russell. He currently sits P5 in the constructor’s standings with 28 points.

The next race in Italy is in a week at Emilia Romagna. Reports suggest that Mercedes will be bringing upgrades to the races. Hamilton will be hoping that this will help him close the gap to the front.
