Heath first revealed Hamilton’s choice of vehicle, a Mercedes electric Smart car. The seven-time world champion made the surprise revelation in his wide-ranging interview with Vanity Fair, part of which saw writer Chris Heath travel as Hamilton's passenger. However, it turns out Hamilton is a particularly nervous driver between races and tries to avoid public roads as much as possible. "I don’t have any other piercings anywhere," he said.Having raced a Formula 1 at speeds of more than 200mph for more than 15 years, you would think Lewis Hamilton would be at ease driving on public roads. The Briton also clarified a comment he made this season in a row over the wearing of jewellery during races, when he told reporters he had a body piercing in a place he could not explain. And it was one of the toughest moments, I would say, that I’ve had in a long, long time." And realising I’ve got to undo my belts, I’ve got to get out of there, I’ve got to climb out of this thing, I’ve got to find the strength," he said of how he felt post-race. "I do remember just sitting there just in disbelief. "I was like, there’s no way they’re going to cheat me out of this.
Hamilton said it was when his "worst fears came alive". The Briton also talked about the trauma of losing last year's title to Red Bull's Max Verstappen on the last lap of the final race in Abu Dhabi after a safety car controversy. Offered a part as a pilot, Hamilton said he had to decline it in "the most upsetting call that I think I’ve ever had". I’ll even sweep something, be a cleaner in the back'," he recalled. "When I heard the second one was coming out, I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I have to ask him.’ I said 'I don’t care what role it is. Hamilton said he had been a huge fan of the original 1986 Top Gun movie. "He invited me to his set years ago when he was doing Edge of Tomorrow, and then we just built a friendship over time."
"Basically I’m a friend of Tom Cruise," the 37-year-old Mercedes driver said. The seven times world champion told Vanity Fair he had been desperate for a part. Lewis Hamilton says he had to turn down an offer to feature as a fighter pilot in Tom Cruise's hit movie Top Gun: Maverick because of his Formula One commitments.
