Lewis Hamilton, seven-time Formula 1 world champion, received a massive ovation from his supporters after a touching interaction with a fan during the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. A video showing this moment has gained popularity on social media, highlighting the personal connection between the British driver and his fans.
In the video, Hamilton can be seen walking through the Spa-Francorchamps paddock, signing autographs and greeting fans. He recognized a fan he had met previously and approached him, saying: ‘Oh, hello! You’re growing up so much!’ while hugging him. The emotional reaction of the fan was evident as they talked about his Ayrton Senna shirt and their first meeting.
Fans’ comments on social media came quickly. One user highlights: ‘Imagine having the power to make people happy. I’m glad Lewis does it and hugs him. Not all celebrities do.’ Others have posted similar messages: ‘It doesn’t take much to positively impact someone’s life. Lewis will always be a legend.’
This special moment came after Hamilton suffered an accident in the final of the third practice session at Spa-Francorchamps. Despite the setback, Ferrari’s team managed to repair the car in time for qualifying, where Hamilton set the sixth-best time. As a result, he will start the Belgian Grand Prix from the fifth position, following Lando Norris’s ten-place penalty.
