In between races, Lewis Hamilton is often seen at big parties and fashion shows. While many people have their doubts about these hobbies of the seven-time world champion, for the Brit it is mainly an outlet and provides relaxation.
After the Russian Grand Prix, which was won by Hamilton, the Mercedes driver was seen at a party. Hamilton was seen fully decked out alongside major football stars Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr. It's the kind of party other drivers try to avoid just to stay in focus.
Party for Hamilton
For Hamilton, however, it is relaxing. The Briton is already in his 15th season in Formula 1 and with the pressure that comes with it, it is no longer possible for him to just be solely involved in F1. Ahead of the Turkish GP, Hamilton explains that he certainly has to deal with pressure.
"There is pressure anyway, but it's about the way you deal with it. I try to live in the moment and to prepare as well as possible for each race with my team. Moreover, I try to enjoy it. We are in a great fight. Finally there are two teams fighting neck-and-neck again. Of course we want to win, but that thought should not dominate your life," said Hamilton according to De Telegraaf.
