The lives of Formula 1 drivers are usually glamorous. Leaving aside the rough and tough training and schedules, the drivers do get to enjoy their time to a great extent. Out of all, Lewis Hamilton, for one, can be considered a ‘party animal’. However, his ‘surrogate father’, was anything but happy with him for this.

After Hamilton moved to Mercedes from McLaren in 2013, reports suggested that the Briton started spending more time partying. The man from Stevenage was a regular face in the party scene among the F1 personalities. Seeing this, Ron Dennis, the former team principal of McLaren, wasn’t happy and expressed that he would not have allowed Hamilton to do the same under his rule.

As per Daily Mail, in 2015, Dennis, who described himself as Hamilton’s surrogate father, said, “If he was at McLaren, he wouldn’t be behaving the way he is because he wouldn’t be allowed to.” Dennis was known for his extremely professional demeanor.

Dennis met the seven-time world champion when the F1 driver was just a 12-year-old karting driver. He is one of the monumental figures behind Lewis Hamilton’s dashing Formula 1 career.

Lewis Hamilton partied till late at night in Las Vegas

Last month, Formula 1 hosted the launch party of the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix. The party at the Sin City saw the Mercedes driver stay out to party till late at night and dance his heart out.

Accompanying the famous American DJ/Music Producer Diplo, Hamilton enjoyed his night at the XS nightclub a week ahead of the 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix. He also celebrated the artist’s birthday as they were snapped together. Hamilton called it a night around 2:30 am and left with his friends.
