Simone Biles Wished To Convert for the Man Himself, Lewis Hamilton: “I’ve Been Talking to Him About That”

Since he is one of the greatest drivers of all time, no wonder fans enjoy watching Lewis Hamilton practice his trade. Not just your average joe, Hamilton’s fanbase consists of personalities from various disciplines. One such personality is American artistic gymnast, Simone Biles.

Similar to Hamilton, Biles is one of the best in her discipline as well. Her four gold medals at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro made her one of a kind as a US-based female gymnast. So it says a great deal when someone like Simone Biles wishes to watch Sir Hamilton race, even though she does not follow Formula 1.

In an Instagram live video, she revealed, “Lewis is great, and I want to go out to one of his races. So, I’ve been talking to him about that. I really wanted to go to the one in Austin [US Grand Prix], but unfortunately, I’m on tour. But I do wish I could go to one of his races.”

The Olympic gold medalist admitted she asked the Mercedes man for his schedule and is willing to take a trip to watch him drive. She admitted, “Told him to send his schedule so we could see the next one,” Biles said. “I mean, obviously they are all around the world so, I’m going to have to make a trip.”

Clearly, the seven-time world champion makes quite a spectacle with his racing and everyone wants a peek. Luckily for Biles, the 2023 season will host three races in North America, so she will have plenty of opportunities to catch a race.

This respect goes both ways, however, and Hamilton’s old Instagram story is proof.
