It is a known fact that Sir Lewis Hamilton has been a crazy fan of Sony’s world-famous gaming console, Play Station. He also used to carry his PS4 to every race weekend and play all by himself, and sometimes with his teammate, Valtteri Bottas, as well.
During the CES 2021 event, Lewis opened up about his journey so far with the recently unveiled Play Station 5. Apparently, he had been “nagging” everyone for the PS5.
