The Sentimental Side of Lewis Hamilton
A Heartwarming Message for Father’s Day
The Formula 1 driver, Lewis Hamilton, recently shared a heartfelt photo and letter that touched the hearts of his fans. Contrary to popular belief, the recipient of this touching gesture was not Shakira.
A Name Making Waves
Lewis Hamilton’s name has been making headlines lately. Not only is he achieving remarkable success on the race track, such as his recent second-place finish in the Spanish Grand Prix, but his special friendship with Shakira has also captured the attention of the media.
However, it was not his bond with Shakira that took the spotlight this Sunday. Instead, the 38-year-old driver revealed his sensitive and human side by sharing a message filled with love. Through a photo and a few heartfelt words, he managed to touch the hearts of his nearly 34 million Instagram followers.
A Father’s Day Tribute
On the occasion of Father’s Day, Lewis Hamilton dedicated his message to someone very special in his life – his father, Anthony Hamilton. He shared an endearing image of the two of them, showcasing their bond and love for each other.

A Tribute to a Father’s Sacrifice
In his message, Lewis Hamilton wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to mine and yours.” He acknowledged the immense sacrifice his father made to finance his racing career, including mortgaging the family home and taking on multiple jobs. This support paved the way for Hamilton to become the world champion he is today.
However, their journey was not without its challenges. Hamilton revealed in an interview with David Letterman on the show “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction” that the pressures of their professional relationship strained their father-son bond. At the age of 25, Hamilton decided it was time to separate their roles, allowing them to rebuild their relationship based on love and understanding.
A Stronger Bond
Today, Lewis Hamilton and his father enjoy a wonderful and supportive relationship. While they achieved great success together on the race track, their greatest accomplishment is the restoration of their family love. According to Hamilton, this love surpasses all else and remains their most cherished achievement.
