Lewis Hamilton, apart from actively racing, manages several businesses and ventures. The Briton has also expressed interest in film production and has had a hand in the $300 million Formula 1 film starring Brad Pitt. Beyond motorsports, he also co-owns NFL team Denver Broncos, who are the three-time Super Bowl champions and are reportedly worth $5.5 billion.
The 2024 F1 season is currently on a month-long break after the Singapore GP, with many drivers and teams preparing intensively for their next race. They are also using the time off to be with their loved ones.
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton was seen attending one of the Broncos’ practice sessions. He joined the Walton-Penner family-led group in 2022, which had purchased the team. Although a minority investor, the 39-year-old’s involvement in the NFL further expanded his business interests beyond Formula 1.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton had Hamilton break down the team huddle. The Mercedes driver watched on as players gathered to discuss strategies, motivate one another, and align their goals before practice.
Hamilton is a legendary F1 driver who has inspired many in other sports too, including Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, who is one of the Briton’s biggest admirers. His presence would have also motivated other players to strive for greatness.
Lewis Hamilton admits to getting emotional as Mercedes exit nears
Lewis Hamilton has stated that he has started feeling emotional with each passing race this season. After spending over a decade with Mercedes, he recognizes that this will be his last time visiting the circuits around the world with the team.
The Briton expressed his deep love for Mercedes and highlighted the strong bond they share. He explained that every time he arrives for a race, he experiences a mix of pride and nostalgia due to everything they have accomplished together.
The 2024 season has only six races left, with the competition intensifying with each race. While Mercedes and Hamilton have faced ups and downs this year, he has had a few positives too. Hamilton ended his 945-day win-less streak at Silverstone, which brought him to tears.
