Nevertheless, Lewis is not bothered by the criticism, as he turned up at Suzuka looking happy. He was even seen goofing around and driving his radio-controlled cars and trucks in the paddocks.

Lewis is (unsurprisingly) a very skillful driver of the RC car too. An old video on YouTube shows a young Lewis, aged 7, winning the Blue Peter race (1992).
