Lewis Hamilton is one of the most successful drivers in F1 history. And he uses his success and fame to help those in need. Hamilton has donated a lot from his vast fortune to charities. Further, he actively participates in humanitarian works.

Hamilton has also been an active voice against injustice, like discrimination and racism. He even started a foundation called Mission 44 in the United Kingdom. The English driver founded this company to help support young children from diverse backgrounds to help them fulfill their studies and achieve great success in their life.

The seven-time world champion recently joined hands with visual artist Daniel Arsham. The artist has made a sculpture of an eroded F1 helmet, and it is a magnificent blend of F1 and art. Further, the helmet is mainly made of selenite, quartz, and amethyst crystal erosions, Arsham’s signature. However, the artist also added a purple amethyst stone to the helmet because of Hamilton’s liking for this color.

But this helmet won’t be a showpiece that Hamilton will keep with himself. Instead, this one-of-a-kind helmet would be up for sale. The entire amount from the helmet’s sale would go into Hamilton’s foundation. Hamilton and Daniel wouldn’t keep a penny from this art piece’s sale into their own pockets. The sculpture is speculated to be revealed at the upcoming Monaco GP.

Lewis Hamilton would buy Bottas’s butt for charity

The Netflix show Drive to Survive has been a significant hit, showing the drivers’ lives on and off the grid. In one episode of the 2021 edition, Valtteri Bottas was relaxing in a spa. However, Finn surprised the whole world when his right butt cheek flashed on the screen.

Bottas’s spa trip became one of the most famous DTS moments in 2021. But the whole world again saw Bottas’s butt in 2022. After the inaugural Miami GP, Bottas shared a photo of him skinny dipping in Colorado. Later, the Finnish driver announced selling the pictures for charity, and it caught the attention of his former Mercedes teammate.

Hamilton expressed his interest in buying his former teammate’s butt photo during the Spanish GP press conference. Lewis reported, “I would, yeah, for charity, for sure. I didn’t even know it was up for sale, but I think it’s a great photo. It’s one of the best photos I’ve seen, actually.”

It’s not confirmed whether Hamilton bought Valtteri’s butt photo. However, it would be fascinating to know. Let’s hope Lewis updates about the deal during the Monaco GP.
