Lewis Hamilton is leaving a lasting legacy in this world through his exploits on and off the track. What’s more? He’s not even done racing yet! However, with his high-profile reach and network, it should not come as a surprise that the Brit has some very talented and famous friends around the world.

This year at the US Grand Prix held in Austin, Texas, Lewis Hamilton took some time off from basking in the love of the fans to send a shout-out to a friend who won’t be attending the race this weekend. We all know Matthew McConaughey is a big F1 fan, however, he is a fan and a friend of Lewis Hamilton, too!
