Lewis Hamilton is one of the most caring Formula 1 drivers on the grid. He is quite active on social media. Be it the Australian bush fires where he pledged to donate $500,000 to support the animals, wildlife volunteers, and rural fire services. Hamilton hailed Hubert as a “hero” in an Instagram post leading the tributes for Anthoine Hubert and referenced the continuing risk of participating in top-level motorsport.

We have all seen how Lewis Hamilton helped to raise donations for Billy Monger after he lost his legs in an accident. He is the kind of sportsperson who always spreads positivity through his social media posts.

Lewis Hamilton is also known for his interest in different sports other than Formula 1. He has been seen skiing, spotted during basketball games. The Brit once even flew to Jamaica, Costa Rica, the US, and Mexico and took every possible opportunity to get his heart racing by sandboarding or racing dune buggies.
