The world of F1 is at a halt thanks to the summer break. However, Lewis Hamilton is not complaining. The Mercedes world champion went into the break with five podiums in the last five races, which is a huge upgrade in terms of results compared to the start of the season. Hamilton would want to continue the momentum once the racing resumes.

However, as of now, Hamilton is not thinking about Formula 1 and is tracing his roots through Africa. The entire journey so far has been a “grounding experience” according to the world champion.
