Monaco Grand Prix always attracts big-name celebrities to its shores. And the 2022 iteration was no different, as we saw celebrities on every corner of the track trying to interact with F1 personnel. So it comes as no surprise that most of them would have wanted to hang out with 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.

The Mercedes driver is a big name in the world of sports and is admired the world over for his achievements. He may not have had the best time on the track while driving the car, but he certainly would have enjoyed the off-track attention. Incidentally, it was after the race that he was seen hanging out with LeBron James.

“Ours is so stiff that the suspension is driving it back into the ground. I am looking forward to some more open track and I am praying that it is not as bumpy as here,” concluded the Mercedes driver.
