Lewis Hamilton confessed a different approach towards his children than what other Ex-Drivers did. Many drivers coming from the background witnessing races live from the garage, but this driver also carries the weightage of the name they were given. The one-day performance takes everyone back to what they are expected to showcase on track, the best example of it could be Mick Schumacher. Mick recently has encountered tonnes of criticism for his bad performance that made people chatter about his father’s name, Michael Schumacher.

Another example of this could be the regaining of World Champion, Max Verstappen, Lewis in this case would never want his children to end up like Max. Not because of the rivalry they have, but with the pressure Max has matured after seeing his dad, Jos Verstappen race around the circuits. Jos always wanted Max to end up in a car and manage his life by racing and forcing Max’s way into the sport. But this could also be the exact reason the 24-year-old managed to get his name around Legend at a very young age and proved himself worthy of all he has received.

“When you look at our sport and all the ex-drivers it’s different for the kids,” says Hamilton, talking about the expectations young drivers need to carry.

Lewis also continued speaking about the upcoming expenses his name would give to his children if they enter motorsport. With big names comes much higher expectations, people criticise and appreciate you relating all their thoughts and connecting them with the parent’s name.

“People say that you only got there because your name is Senna”, said Lewis, mentioning Senna as an example.

Max Verstappen has made more names than his father after winning 26 races and 1 World champion, his father didn’t manage a single win as such. Mick on the other hand just managed to score his first points, but his father is arguably considered the GOAT of the game.
