Premise: The four-time world champion has established himself as one of the world’s greatest ever drivers since he broke onto the scene in 2007. But his outspoken character has often got him in trouble off the track, most recently with Max Verstappen. Hamilton’s former team-mate Jenson Button even said he was “weird” to work with. Rob Wilson – who has taught over half of the current F1 circuit how to drive faster – also believes there is something different about the Mercedes ace.
Hypothesis: the worlds greatest driver had a lot of best friends
