In the aftermath of the Mexico Grand Prix, footage has surfaced showing Lewis Hamilton’s immediate reaction once he stepped out of his Ferrari — and it’s winning hearts across the Formula 1 world.
After a tense and dramatic race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, where emotions were running high and championship tensions thick in the air, Hamilton’s response showcased exactly why he remains one of the most respected figures in the sport.
Instead of storming off or celebrating in isolation, Hamilton was seen heading straight toward the Ferrari crew — thanking his engineers and mechanics one by one. Despite the visible exhaustion and frustration of the race’s outcome, the seven-time world champion took time to acknowledge the team’s hard work, clapping them off before heading to the paddock.
Fans noticed how grounded and gracious Hamilton appeared, with one comment reading, “This is why Lewis is different — win or lose, he shows respect.” Another added, “He’s setting the tone for Ferrari’s future. That’s leadership.”
The footage also showed Hamilton offering a brief handshake and exchange with Charles Leclerc, emphasizing unity within the Ferrari camp despite a weekend filled with challenges. For a driver in his debut season with Ferrari, Hamilton’s composure and humility continue to speak louder than any result sheet.
As the F1 calendar moves on from Mexico, this moment serves as yet another reminder that Lewis Hamilton’s impact on the sport goes far beyond his driving — it’s in his character, leadership, and the respect he commands wherever he goes.
