Lewis Hamilton reveals what an F1 driver wears! | What I Wear...

[@victor9]

Returned a PlayStation so he could get a helmet!? That much focus and dedication at such a young age; he literally had no choice but to be a champion. There was no other option at that point, the universe had to give in to that boy!

[@rockmorales]

His father did it, not him.

[@johnnychimpo7539]

And him cleaning his helmet every night, making it as good as possible for the next race. His love and dedication is unmatched

[@CC-1004.]

He has a very nice, honourable dad who did everything in a positiv way to Lewis that he can reach his goals. If u compare to for example Jos Verstappen its much different. Jos educated Max in a very brutal, strict way which also worked out as we know but I think that was not positive most of the time in his Journey. But still both are successfull

One of the things i mostly admire about Lewis, is how he never forgets where he came from and how his parents and stepmom would make sacrifices in order for him to chase his dreams 🙏

[@CanadianDerwood]

That's his #1 quality im my opinion. I agree with you. I feel he always remarks on his humble history, unlike others that don't comment on it. But most of those drivers come from $$$$

[@thecompanioncube4211]

There are only few, likes of Lance, who don't do that. Every one of these drivers are a combination of great sacrifice and struggles. Some more some less. Lewis is very good at talking about those sacrifices for sure

[@joshn1678]

I agree, I think it's why so many people have such the wrong idea about him. He seems so grateful for the opportunities he's been given and he's just taken those opportunities and made the best of them. He's an amazing driver, but even better is he's a good human being.

[@akashmore5624]

Can’t agree more

[@Jimmy_Moon]

Full disclosure, I've been a Christian Horner & RedBull supporter since 2005. It's unfair to compare drivers from different eras. Lewis is the greatest driver of his era and generation. He's an amazing ambassador for the sport & life. What's also amazing is when he talks positively about this generation of drivers, oblivious to that fact that he has influenced them. Very humble. He was never gifted anything and worked hard for his titles. When he made the switch to Mercedes, he did so knowing things could go bad for him. If I had to criticise him, it would be for slacking with his guitar. Not seen him play for sometime!

Very interesting, indeed. It is nice to learn these details about the sport, and Lewis explains it well. One thing I've wondered, though, is whether the drivers wear regular lower underwear (briefs, boxers etc.) or is that part of the underwear specially made from fireproof material (Nomex?) as well.

I’ve been watching F1 since I was a kid in the early to mid eighties. You go through periods where one driver and/or one team just totally dominates.

After seeing this, I have a whole new respect for him and appreciate his great talent and dedication to Motorsport.
