First Briton To Defend Title
Lewis Hamilton has achieved something that no compatriot before him has done before. He is the first Briton to successfully defend his Formula 1 title. He raced to a historic triumph in his Mercedes yesterday and is now one of the most successful Formula 1 driver. And that’s despite the fact that he doesn’t actually look or act like a racing driver. When you see him, you might think he’s a pop star, a model, or an actor. Sometimes he doesn’t even show himself the way a sportsman should actually live, namely healthy and always in training. Lewis Hamilton much prefers going to parties and partying.
Only Performance Counts
His bosses at Mercedes don’t always like this, but they simply allow their star his freedom. All that counts for them is performance, and Lewis Hamilton’s performance is great. He wins and wins, drives one fastest lap after another, and is world champion again. What more could you want…..
