Lewis Hamilton is undeniably one of the most famous and successful Formula One drivers of all time. And unlike any other driver, Hamilton’s fame has even reached the doorsteps of Hollywood, with a lot of celebrities often showing their support to the seven-time world champion during his time of success and failure.
What’s more, Hamilton has even starred in several talk shows including the one with Ellen DeGeneres back in 2016. Well, 3 years later in 2019, Hamilton unknowingly made a cameo in an episode where Kourtney Kardashian starred as the guest.
Ellen invited Kardashian for a game of ‘Who’d You Rather?’ where the guest will witness two celebrity pictures featuring side-by-side on the big screen and they would have to choose their favorite. The chosen one stays while a new celebrity picture replaces the other.

Lewis Hamilton shows up
The game began with world-class guitarist John Mayer and singer Post Malone out of which Kardashian chose the former. Then arrived Talk Show host Trevor Noah which didn’t seem to flinch the Kardashian, as she quickly chose Mayer again.
Singer Shawn Mendes showed up and again, Mayer stood his ground. Tough battle, isn’t it? Well, amidst Kardashian’s adamancy, Hamilton made it to the big screen alongside Mayer. “Lewis Hamilton! Do you know Lewis?” Ellen asked the American media personality.
She replied, “Yes, and I love Lewis… I’m still gonna say, John Mayer.”
After Hamilton arrived Zac Efron and Michael B. Jordan, but again, Mayer looked undefeatable. And finally, it was Oscar-winning actor, Leonardo DiCaprio that managed to stop John Mayer’s run in the game as Kardashian decided to choose both the celebrities on the screen.

Drivers to feature in the Ellen DeGeneres Show
So far, only two drivers have managed to join the talk show led by Ellen. One of them, as already mentioned, is Lewis Hamilton who starred in an episode back in October 2016. The other driver is Daniel Ricciardo who took part in the show late in 2021 following the United States Grand Prix.
