Lewis Hamilton is currently on the wrong side of on-track success. After experiencing so many of them in the last decade, the Mercedes driver is currently finding it tough to get his first win of the season. Although people have suggested that he retire, Hamilton has not given up and drawing inspiration from people around him, like Tom Brady.

As per a report published by The Racer, talking about the same, the Silver Arrows driver conveyed, “People like Tom [Brady]; I’ve been to the Super Bowl and seen him come from, like, his head in his hands as they’re losing, and then pulling it back with incredible mental strength.”
