British Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton had a heartwarming moment with a young fan ahead of Dutch Grand Prix set to take place on August 31. Hamilton adorably shook hands with the fan and clicked a picture with him as a video of the same surfaced on social media on August 28, Thursday.
Hamilton is arguably one of the most accomplished sportsperson when it comes to Formula 1. Tied with Michael Schumaker, the 40-year-old holds the record of winning most Formula One World Driver's Championship titles, clinching seven of them. The veteran also holds the record for most wins (105), pole positions (104) and podium finishes (202) among everyone else.

"There's been so much pressure in this first half of the season" - Lewis Hamilton
With the second half of the season set to resume in The Netherlands, the veteran athlete suggested that he feels determined to move forward and wants to enjoy himself. He said, as quoted by ESPN:
"I feel determined to and motivated to [move forward]. We are just going to be working, keep our heads down, try to change a few things in our approach and start to enjoy ourselves. There's been so much pressure in this first half of the season, it's not been the most enjoyable. So I think just remembering that we love what we do, we're all in this together and yeah, trying to have fun."
When asked where the pressure emanated from, Hamilton opined that the changes within the team contributed to those.
"Just to get on top of everything, the amount of work we have, all the new partners, the amount of shoots we've done, getting integrated into a new team, and it's a big, big team, the biggest brand in our sport as well. So a combination of all those different things has been a lot."
Lando Norris had won the Dutch GP in 2024.
