“Def one for the books” – this is how Lewis Hamilton described his summer break as he enjoyed every ounce of his Africa trip. Hamilton had a blast in August from exploring Senegal to driving through the Moroccan desert. Now, he has already reported to his Mercedes duties at Zandvoort. But of course, the Briton is still feeling the blues after having to leave Africa. So, he took to his Instagram page and shared some snaps from the journey to his “motherland“.
In one snippet from Hamilton’s tour to Africa, he was seen playing a guitar at what seemed like a backyard jam session. The Stevenage native is obviously a big music lover, as he has already featured on Christina Aguilera’s song ‘Pipe’. Hamilton has also been rumored to star in pop songstress Camila Cabello’s music video for ‘Dade County Dreaming’. Thus, Lewis Hamilton definitely has an ear for rhythmic notes and recently revealed what kind of music he does not like.
After returning from Africa, Lewis is already neck deep in work for Mercedes. Before starting the second leg of his last season with the Silver Arrows, he went for an interview for the team’s press entourage. There, he recounted when his former McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen played heavy metal music. He said, “When I was with Heikki, he was playing like heavy metal stuff. I was like, “Oh my God, my head is going to explode.”

Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen were teammates for 2 seasons between 2008 and 2009. However, that tenure was not an unpleasant one for the Finnish racer—but why?
