After sharing a video of himself leaping out of a plane on Instagram, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton might be giving his team principal, Toto Wolff, a little extra sweat this Christmas.
The seven-time world champion demonstrated his skydiving prowess during his winter break. He is not afraid to try new things outside of Formula 1.
Hamilton has obviously had a lot of practice, as evidenced by the fact that he hardly made any scared noises even though he was about 10,000 feet above the ground. Most amateur skydivers would require an instructor strapped to their back during the jump.
Fortunately for Mercedes (and Hamilton), he avoided any dramas centered around parachutes, which is something I would be concerned about all the time if I were to jump.
Winter break full of action
Hamilton’s most recent antics occur during a winter break during which he has already attended an NFL Denver Broncos game, tested drive a new Mercedes, and attempted surfing.
All for the sake of avoiding having to wrap an excessive number of Christmas gifts.
