Serena Williams has become a legend in the sporting world over the past 2 decades. Despite countless Tennis titles, the American star still is so down to earth with a close affinity for her loved ones. Even her fandom for fellow sports stars is not unseen. Being friends with the 7-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, Serena has always been his big supporter. Now that she has retired from professional tennis, Williams may get even more time to express her fandom for Lewis. Recently, an incident did happen showing her adoration for the Mercedes legend.
Serena was playing a fun game of Pictionary with her husband Alexis Ohanian and her daughter Olympia in November 2022. During this game, Serena drew a word that was quite familiar to the F1 fan in her husband. As per Alexis’s tweet, Williams had drawn a Mercedes car going around a race track with fans cheering on.
Alexia wrote a caption with this picture of Serena’s drawing, “Playing family Pictionary and guess what word @serenawilliams drew 😆😆😆 CC @LewisHamilton @MercedesAMGF1” It would have been rather easy for the Reddit founder Ohanian to guess Lewis Hamilton and win that round in this nice family time.

Serena has always been expressing how much she adores Hamilton. The amount of respect and friendship between these two sporting legends is probably unparalleled. It is a unique relationship that Lewis shares with Serena that often is evident on several occasions.
