“He makes Lewis look like a little kid!” Fans react as Lewis Hamilton and Shaq catch up before the US Formula 1 grand prix start

Lewis Hamilton and Shaquille O’Neal

The US grand prix grid is always packed with celebrities so this year was no surprise. Shaquille O’Neal and Lewis Hamilton have a great amount of respect for each other and it was obvious that they were bound to catch up on the grid. However, their interaction never fails to amaze the fans due to the sheer height difference between the two legends of their respective sports.

Shaq has been a ‘huge’ part of F1’s race proceedings at COTA for the race Texas. Just like last year, the 7 feet tall man entered parc ferme in a custom built car with the race winner’s trophy in his hand. Before the race, it was widely thought that the trophy would have been Hamilton’s after looking at his pace all over the weekend. However the top 2 order for the podium at COTA was no different than last year with Max on top and Lewis being one step down for the second year in a row.

The race itself was pretty enticing with a 11.1 second pitstop leading to Max Verstappen being shifted to 6th place. He furthermore went on a charge to gain back on lost time which included a fierce battle with Lewis Hamilton. That single stop made the race much more exciting and eventful. The 2 time world champion kept his cool and got the job done in the end. However that small interaction between Shaq and Lewis still managed to be one of the most eventful moments on Sunday.
