Lewis Hamilton is the best F1 racer? Now, this could be an endless debate. But surely, the Briton is one of the very best to have graced the world of Formula One. This 37-year-old needs no introduction. He’s an artist, a fashion icon, and a full-time racer. Moreover, he was recently hailed as the best racer ever by a certain character in a movie.

Lewis Hamilton has managed to become a household name at this point. He is so famous that if you don’t know him as a racer, you probably know him as a head-turner at Met Gala. In fact, you may also know him as someone you saw receiving the knighthood from the Royal family of England. He is one of the very few athletes to have achieved so much beyond his professional racing career. He’s honestly not a forgetful face at all!

A Michael Bay directed movie called “Ambulance” recently hit the theatres. The film stars big industry names like Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza Gonzalez. A clip from the movie is making the rounds where a character called “Will” is referred to as “the guy driving is possibly Lewis Hamilton”. During the same conversation just moments later, Lewis is proclaimed as the “best F1 racer” as a reply to a question about him.

 

We don’t blame anyone for calling Sir Hamilton the best ever. With seven world titles under his belt, and a fighting spirit still as strong as his karting days, the man is admirable.
