Lewis Hamilton has been participating in Formula 1 since 2007. The seven-time world champion is a man of principles. There is a reason why Hamilton has achieved an impressive 103 victories and 104 pole positions. In addition to his exceptional performance and hard work, his commitment to the sport has played a crucial role in his tremendous success.
Hamilton possesses exceptional multitasking skills. He was previously a reserve driver for Mercedes and was impressed by the British’s ability to seamlessly switch between roles. The Frenchman was amazed by Hamilton’s effortless transition.
Unlike most drivers who prefer to take a break after leaving the track before attending analysis meetings, Hamilton is different. According to Ocon, Hamilton always carries a notepad to jot down all the important information. The 27-year-old learned this habit from the seven-time world champion and strives to imitate him.
Esteban Ocon recently shared some mixed memories from his past. He and Hamilton have known each other since their karting days. Ocon always enjoyed their rivalry until Verstappen was promoted to Formula 1 before him.
During the 2014 European F3 Championship, Verstappen finished third, while Ocon finished first. However, Verstappen’s promotion to F1 and Ocon’s uncertain future in racing left him in a difficult situation. In those challenging times, he sought the help of Hamilton and others. With their help, Ocon eventually made his F1 debut in 2016 and has since become an established F1 driver, even achieving a victory in the Grand Prix.
