Lewis Hamilton lists Formula 1 drivers and other sports legends he admires the most. We’ll give you a hint, both drivers’ last names start with an S!
In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport Lewis Hamilton was asked which driver he admires the most.
“Ayrton Senna,” said the seven-time champion without hesitsating,
“For the way he drove and for how important he was because of his personality. He had a big influence on a lot of people.
“I didn’t get to know him because of my age, but he was a very loved person.
“Of course, I also appreciate other drivers, such as Michael Schumacher. He created an unlikely bond with his team. Because I know how difficult it is to form such a bond.
“The team is like a big boat, with an awful lot of people on it, but you have to make sure you are heading in the right direction.”

“When I was young, [Muhammad] Ali was my king. As an athlete, activist and for the great person he was with his amazing voice.
“He was the most intelligent and that’s why he managed to speak out. Nobody else was quite like him.
“Besides that, Serena Williams. She’s one of the greatest people and athletes I’ve ever seen – she’s a phenomenon.
“I would also like to add Tiger Woods to that as well,” concluded Hamilton.
