At the age of 31, Lewis Hamilton already holds three Formula-1 Championships. Recently, the speedster visited The Ellen Show to chat about everything from racing to shirtless pictures.
DeGeneres kicked off the interview by telling Hamilton they had to show shirtless pictures of him since it was his first time on the show. She showed off a couple of them as the audience cheered on. Hamilton explained Formula-1 racing as the pinnacle of motorsport.
When he told her how fast they get the wheels on and off, DeGeneres could not believe him. Hamilton himself said he is in and out of the pit stops pretty fast.
The driver also explained the differences between Formula-1 and NASCAR pointing out that the F-1 cars handle much better which is why most of the NASCAR races are simply ovals. DeGeneres asked how much the cars costs to build but Hamilton just broke it down to $300 million allotted to teams.
In his interview, Hamilton got down to the science of racing and explained that he had to keep his weight to 148lbs.
