She then highlighted what she admires about the Briton racing great.

“Lewis is so intense. If you know anything, even if you’re a fan, you know he lives his life on his sleeve. He’s very emotional. He says what he says and that’s just who he is. He doesn’t care who you are. That’s one thing I’ve come to really appreciate about him as well,” Williams expressed.
