Formula One drivers get a lot of attention as soon they step up onto the grid. For some, it is difficult to cope with the pressure from the media at a very young age. Lewis Hamilton shares his experience of how he was never guided in his initial years at McLaren. And how to tackle such issues when facing the media.

Hamilton comes to support fellow sportsperson, Naomi Osaka. The tennis player faced a lot of backlash for not taking part in the press conference, as it was affecting her mental health. The Mercedes driver applauds her for speaking up and provides her with support.

Lewis Hamilton shares his first experience when he faced the media

Speaking at press conference, as quoted by RaceFans, Hamilton said, “I remember when I got into F1 the team had PR. I was never prepared for being in front of a camera, I was never guided as to what to look out for and helped to navigate through that.”

So you just learn through the mistakes and it’s incredibly nerve-wracking especially when you have all good intentions but people take advantage of it,” Hamilton explained.
