Lewis Hamilton has advised English football fans to wait until the Three Lions have actually won the World Cup before chanting ‘It’s Coming Home’. The Formula 1 legend shared his message during the tournament’s kickoff in North America, also revealing his support for Brazil as a second team this summer.
While Hamilton hails from Stevenage and has proudly represented Great Britain in his successful F1 career, he holds a special affinity for Brazil. He explained that Brazil has always been his favorite team, admiring their colors, culture, and skilled players.
Expressing his support for Brazil, Hamilton emphasized his appreciation for the origins of Brazilian players, many of whom come from humble beginnings. Despite the reaction his comments sparked in England, Hamilton reaffirmed his allegiance to Brazil during a media session before the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
Regarding the World Cup, Hamilton refrained from making predictions, admitting he doesn’t closely follow the tournament but keeps an eye on England’s progress. He cautioned against premature celebrations of ‘It’s Coming Home’, preferring to save it for actual victory.
On the Formula 1 front, Hamilton’s recent strong performances for Ferrari indicate a potential first win with the team. However, he acknowledges that defeating Mercedes, the dominant force, will require a significant effort from his squad to close the performance gap.
Hamilton expressed his team’s focus on achieving success through performance rather than relying on others’ misfortune. He highlighted the collective effort within Ferrari and his personal growth and dedication to elevate their performance.
