Though to Lewis’ surprise, he wasn’t as tall as he looked in Terminator. The Mercedes driver said, “I thought you were taller.” Then he turned towards the crowd and pointed out, “I thought he was taller on Terminator,” and the crowd roared with joy.

However, Arnold had just the right answer for Lewis. He said, “I am not wearing my high heels” as they both started laughing. After that, being a fitness expert, Arnold couldn’t resist the question about how much physical training Formula One drivers go through.
To which Lewis replied, “We all train very hard and people don’t actually realize that we are athletes. But we have to train a lot and it’s incredibly physical in those cars.”

Though as a father-in-law, he should probably know the name of the person his daughter is married to, still Chris’s confusion might have clouded his memory of his son-in-law.
