Retiring Legend Roger Federer’s Hunter-Like Nature Inspired Lewis Hamilton’s Attack on His F1 Rivals

When you are a 7 time World Champion, it naturally teaches you to deal with tough situations. Lewis Hamilton might be a master of driving, but what makes him stand out is his ability to handle pressure. Where other drivers crack under pressure, Lewis has ice running in his veins. He’s like Roger Federer of F1.

There are so many similarities between the two respective GOATs. Like Roger, Lewis Hamilton hardly ever snaps under pressure. Like the Swiss, he never gives up and fights until the end. But more importantly, they play the sport like a gentleman, with respect for their opponents and sportsmanship that oozes class.

You can’t buy that, you can’t win that, you can only earn prestige as high as they have. The Mercedes driver compared himself to Tennis greats Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in an old interview. He said,

“Pressure points. Weak points. You just keep your foot down, keep the pressure on and when the other shows no sign of weakness… that’s definitely difficult.”

“Look at Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. At some point in the game, one will see a slight weakness in the other – even if just half a percent. That’s what they try to capitalize on and which makes the difference and that’s really how it has been this year. The key for me is to be the most solid driver here.”

Beating your teammate is the topmost priority for a lot of F1 drivers. However, it becomes an enormous task if your teammate is a 7 time World Champion, Lewis Hamilton. But Mercedes newbie George Russell isn’t backing down from a fight and looks to copy the ‘Big 3’ of tennis to beat Hamilton.

Russell said, “You’ve got probably the three greatest tennis players of all time, with three totally different approaches to their game, I think to be the best, or to at least be the best version of yourself, you shouldn’t go out there and copy what the best has done.”

He added, “He’s the best because he’s got the best out of himself and whatever he does works for him.”

The former Williams driver has enjoyed a terrific season, despite the early struggles of Mercedes and his teammate. He has been the epitome of consistency and is on course to beat Lewis Hamilton in the Driver’s Standing this year.
