The seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton has shared a fanart on his social media with his followers amidst the ongoing pre-season testings at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Lewis Hamilton has a huge fan following; after all, he is one of the best drivers in Formula 1. But what makes the 37-year-old even more likable is that the Briton stays humble and tries to connect with his fans as much as he can. This was evident when the 7-time world champion received a fanart while he was in Paris for Fashion Week.

Can Lewis Hamilton win the 2022 season?
The Mercedes Man is undoubtedly one of the best drivers in the world. He has lifted seven World Championship and greatly dominated the sport in the past few seasons. However, his domination came to an end after his defeat to Max Verstappen in the 2021 season.
Many believe Hamilton lost his record-breaking eighth title because of race director Michael Masi’s controversial late-race safety car decision. In light of this, FIA, later on, investigated the incident and ended up removing Masi from the position of race director. The governing body has now established a whole new structure to conduct races in 2022.
After the defeat, Hamilton went off from social media, which rose rumors about his retirement from motorsport. However, the Brit was only away from the internet to clear his mind. After a while, he came back to the Brackley base to prepare for the upcoming 2022 season.
The 37-year-old again proved to the world why he’s stronger than ever. He put up a phenomenal performance with the W13 at the Barcelona pre-season testing. Hamilton topped the timesheets at Barcelona with this phenomenal lap of 1:19.138. And his young new teammate George Russell finished behind him.
