Beyonce has made history, adding one more record to her name. The ‘Queen B’ bagged four Grammy awards at the 65th Grammy ceremony, putting herself on top of the list of the artists with the most awards with a total of 32, bypassing the 31 awards of Hungarian-British conductor George Solti. She won trophies for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for Renaissance, Best R&B Song for Cuff It, Best Dance/Electronic Recording for Break My Soul, and Best Traditional R&B Performance for Plastic Off The Sofa. And coming amongst one of the first to congratulate her was her old friend Lewis Hamilton.

The Mercedes driver shared his message on his Instagram story, in which he captioned a post from Vanity Fair, “the artist of our generation.”

He also congratulated Viola Davis, who became the 18th person to achieve the EGOT—the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards. The post for her was captioned, ” 👏👏👏.”

The friendship between Beyonce and Lewis Hamilton goes a long way back to 2009 when the Briton was reported to be tutoring the singer how to drive like a professional. As reported by the Mirror, an insider said, “Beyonce’s so excited to be learning from him. And Jay’s even worse. He’s ready to put on his helmet and get in the fast lane himself,” displaying close proximity between the pop couple and F1 driver.

Lewis Hamilton and his music connections

The Briton has been active on track for over a decade and a half, but unlike most of the grid, he has been quite active off the track as well, engaging with popular names across different industries. However, the majority of these names are from the music industry.

He has been big friends with names such as Pharrell Williams, Jay Z, and Kendrick Lamar, and has also been spotted with Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, and Swizz Beatz, with whom he was also spotted hanging out in a music studio.

The Briton has had a close relationship with music since his childhood, as he grew up learning guitar and piano. He also credits the art of calming his nerves before a race. His passion for the guitar earned him two guitars as a gift from the late singer David Bowie! Can we see Lewis dropping an album sometime soon? Probably not with an F1 career going on, but it certainly can be expected after his racing stint.
