The Belgian Grand Prix has officially commenced, but what’s bizarre is that there have hardly been actions on the track. The 3-hour window is slowly but steadily inching closer, meaning it could either be a long race or no race at all. Hence, Lewis Hamilton, took a precautionary trip to the restroom fearing the former might happen.

But, the trip ended up being miserable for the 7-time world champion. Apparently, a French cameraman, who had used the restroom prior, made a mess. And this led to a hilariously traumatic experience for Hamilton, who reckoned it could haunt him for a while.
