Hamilton was reported acknowledging that if he had been a Formula 1 fan, watching a racer dominate one race after another would put him to sleep. He mentioned, “I was a teenaged kid. I would have woken up, had my bacon sarnie and probably watched the start and gone to sleep and then woken up to watch the end.”
However, Lewis Hamilton was reminiscing the old days after winning six world championships. It takes one back to his hero, Ayrton Senna, speaking about his best racing days. He said, “I would have to go back to 78 and 79 when I was go-kart driving.”
