Hamilton has also always supported women and has reportedly shown support for dynamic champions like Jamie Chadwick. However, there have also been times when Hamilton used some questionable phrases that got a lot of people confused.

A young Hamilton once appeared for an interview about 12 years ago, wherein, when asked about the possibility of rising women racers in the game, the Briton-Brazilian said,“I think all the drivers are probably dying to see a hot F1 driver to come. A Female F1, yeah you know? Because there is something to chase and it should be fun.”

Referring to Nicole Scherzinger, Hamilton added, “My girlfriend wants to be a driver, but I tell her to stay away.”

He concluded by saying that every year there are more women who are actively showing interest in motor racing, and he hopes that continues to grow.
