Lewis Hamilton Gives Rocky Balboa a Run for His Money With Unorthodox Training Techniques

This time, on his 38th birthday, the driver decided to celebrate it in Antarctica while preparing for the 2023 season and the team’s car launch next month. If not considering the celebration on the sides, surely it’s a tough environment to prepare in, which he described as ‘the most beautiful place I’ve ever been,’ giving a hard time to Rocky’s training. 

The grand celebration of Hamilton’s birthday had the snowboarding legend Shaun White and actor Jared Leto. Following it was the driver’s 11-kilometer run in the chilly weather of the south pole. The driver posted several photos and videos on his social media accounts of his visit, in one of which he runs into penguins and a sea lion!

In a video captioned, “11km run in Antarctica, best run ever when you run past penguins and seals.” Hamilton can be heard saying, as quoted by talkSPORT, “Out for a run here.” Showing what he runs into, he says, “Penguins! It’s a beautiful storm, guys.”
