Lewis Hamilton is quite the personality both on and off the track. Despite being a full-time F1 driver and one of the greatest of all time, he has also tried his hand at other stuff that he likes, such as music. While fans may see the seven-time world champion as an outspoken person who is always under the spotlight and has immense success attached to his name, there is another side of Hamilton; a side that keeps him grounded and makes him more human than the perfectionist machine that people think he is once he hits the track.
Speaking to Sky Sports about an Instagram live session wherein he played some of his tunes, Hamilton revealed that he gets extremely anxious and nervous at times.
He said, “Oh man! I was so nervous. People will never know it, but I struggle with anxiety.
