Lewis Hamilton has advised fans of the England football team to refrain from singing ‘It’s Coming Home’ until the team actually wins the World Cup. The renowned racing figure shared this message on the first day of the tournament in North America and also disclosed his support for another team this summer.
Hamilton, originally from Stevenage, has proudly represented Great Britain throughout his successful F1 career. Despite this, he was granted honorary Brazilian citizenship in 2022 and expressed his allegiance to Carlo Ancelotti’s Selecao ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
Expressing his admiration for Brazil, Hamilton stated that the country has always been his favorite team due to their colors, culture, and skilled players. He reminisced about watching Brazil play during his childhood in England, emphasizing the unique charm of Brazilian football.
The racer’s comments sparked significant reactions, particularly in his home country. However, during a media session before the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, Hamilton reaffirmed his support for Brazil, even as the World Cup commenced with Mexico playing against South Africa.
When asked about his World Cup predictions, Hamilton admitted he does not closely follow the tournament but will keep an eye on England’s progress. He cautioned against premature celebrations of ‘It’s Coming Home,’ advocating for waiting until victory is achieved. Despite his support for England, Hamilton expressed his excitement about watching Brazil play in their iconic yellow jerseys.
Hamilton’s recent performances in Formula 1 have shown promise, with two consecutive second-place finishes. While a win for Ferrari seems plausible, he acknowledges that Mercedes must struggle or Ferrari needs to elevate their performance significantly to secure victory.
Hamilton emphasized the importance of striving for victory through genuine performance rather than benefiting from others’ misfortunes. He highlighted the collaborative effort within his team and his personal commitment to continual improvement.
