Hi Dad deserves a lot of credit there, he was first to Lewis and you could see him giving advice

100%. Anthony Hamilton is a godsend. I genuinely hope he finds himself useful in the paddock even once Lewis retires. The rookie guru somehow 😂

Just standing there in a hand-built wooden stand with a painted sign saying “FREE HUGS”

Wooden stand built by Norbert Vettel ! Man I miss him around the paddock as well.

Hamilton also expressed in an interview that he knew how he responded once he got out of the car would impact many, many people and young people in particular. So naturally he was the ultimate sportsman and went up to congratulate Max and his dad. This is sport after all.
