We are used to riders answering about the same questions most of the time, worded about the same and being equally correct. What can irritate or cause a nervous reaction is usually eliminated by the teams’ press services, but Mercedes decided to do things differently.
Lewis Hamilton was invited to respond to comments and questions from fans who did not like the seven-time world champion’s image or mannerisms. And this is what happened…
Q: Hi everyone except those who like Hamilton’s outfits…
Lewis Hamilton: I’m trying to see the avatar to see how this person dresses, but it’s not showing up there. I don’t think my outfits are that bad, honestly!
In general, I want to tell anyone who has an opinion that you are entitled to it. And if someone doesn’t like me, that’s absolutely fine. You don’t have to love all the people in the world. In general, I appreciate all your comments, because they are quite funny, and I can only wish you a positive mood.
Q: Lewis Hamilton makes me very tired. Can’t this man just utter one sentence without some sort of call for world peace? It all sounds like a crazy hippie speech…
Lewis Hamilton: (laughs) What do you think I should say? I’m just a positive person!
Question: Lewis dresses like a character from Back to the Future 2…
Lewis Hamilton: (thinking) I think there were some pretty interesting costumes in this movie.
Q: It is said that Lewis, whose job it is to drive a race car at speeds in excess of 300 mph, is afraid of… onions?
Lewis Hamilton: I just don’t understand why you waste your time writing questions like this.
Q: Lewis Hamilton looks most like a boring guy riding a kid’s scooter around the paddock…
Lewis Hamilton: (laughs) Well, thanks! I do not know what to say.
Q: Sometimes it seems to me that Lewis is most similar to the character from the comedy Zoolander (in the Russian box office it was called “Model Male”) …
Lewis Hamilton: By the way, I myself starred in the second part of this film!
