Lewis Hamilton has made his name when it comes to all his fame outside the sport. Although the Brit has done a lot for Formula 1, he also helped in promoting the sport outside. He was one of the first drivers to ever get on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show and has been seen at multiple fashion shows and events. His popularity has also risen on Instagram as he stands as the most followed driver on the grid.
However, just when fans think there might not be anything more, the driver has much more up his sleeve. Recently, the Brit launched his own drink collection during the Mexican Grand Prix. But for Hamilton, it was not all. While he has seen his team fail to perform well this season, he has not let that stop him from all his new projects.
