Following Lewis Hamilton’s ‘dream switch’ announcement to Ferrari in 2025, the 7x F1 Champion has been making headlines in the world of Formula 1. Ever since this news broke out, F1 pundits have been busy talking about the Briton’s past and present, which is likely to continue throughout this season.
Regarding Lewis Hamilton’s past, a previous report, involving the Mercedes man and NFL legend Tom Brady, has been in the headlines recently.
Lewis Hamilton admitted to privately consulting Tom Brady
Formula 1’s living legend Lewis Hamilton and NFL icon Tom Brady are undoubtedly two of the biggest celebrities in the sporting world. These two legends of their respective sports are great friends in real life, despite playing different sports.
Lewis Hamilton, alongside Tom Brady, once appeared as a guest in a talk show on the official YouTube channel of IWC Watches. Speaking during the show, the F1 legend revealed a personal secret of their friendship.
The Briton admitted that he secretly takes advice from Tom Brady right up to the point when he enters the F1 tracks. “Tom [Brady] and I, we’ve met a couple times and been in touch for some years now. Sometimes, I message him, trying to secretly get a bit of advice,” he told.
Tom Brady, on the other side, also carries a massive respect for the 7x F1 champ and refers Hamilton as an ‘artist’ on the racetrack.
From what SportsZion understands, these two sporting superstars wear a mutual form of respect and understanding for each other, since their times of collaboration for IWC Watches.
Lewis Hamilton and Tom Brady once raised $100,000 for charity
Talking about Lewis Hamilton and Tom Brady collaborating for IWC Watches, the two big-name athletes once came together in IWC’s Big Pilot Golf Challenge to raise some serious money for local youth.
The timepieces that Hamilton and Brady wore in the pre-race charity golf match were later sold in a Bonhams auction and generated over $100,000.
The auction sales money was then donated to Laureus Sport for Good, with the primary beneficiary being Dibia DREAM, which uses STEM and recreational education to help underserved youths in Miami.
