Everyone is allowed to be a fan of someone, even the top athletes as well. In a recent update on Instagram, 4-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka put up an interesting story. The Las Vegas Grand Prix has created a lot of buzz in the tennis community. While fans have seen the likes of Serena Williams and Venus Williams grace the F1 event in Miami in the past, no one knew about the fandom of the Japanese star, until now. However, Osaka’s way of telling us about her favorite F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton, was quite different from the rest.

Lewis Hamilton has etched his name in the history books as a legend of the sport and has been a fan-favorite for many years. Thus, it was only natural that Osaka was more inclined towards him than anyone else in F1.
