Lewis Hamilton reflects on the extended shutdown
With Coronavirus putting the 2020 F1 calendar on ice, all drivers got a much-deserved break from racing. The current season is likely to resume by July 5 with the Austrian Grand Prix. There are still over 2 months to go before racing actually begins, giving drivers an unusual amount of free time.
Like most drivers, the six times World Champion has spent the majority of his break working out and staying healthy. Lewis Hamilton regularly posts on social media to keep his fans updated on his daily routine. Apart from posting his workout videos, Hamilton also pens down posts to highlight the state of the environment and the world in general.

“I miss racing every day.”
“This is the first time since I was 8 that I haven’t started a season. When you live and breath something you love, when it’s gone there’s definitely a big void”
“Right now, we all have time in the world to reflect on life, our decisions, our goals, the people we have around us, our careers.”
“Today, we see clearer skies all over the world, less animals being slaughtered for our pleasure simply because our demands are much lower and everyone staying in.
“Let’s not come back the same as we went into this tough time, let’s come out of it with better knowledge of our world, changing our personal choices and habits”.
While not everyone may agree with Hamilton’s beliefs, there is no harm in striving to change the world for good. As the World battles an epidemic, the earth gets to breathe again.
