Lewis Hamilton is an outstanding role model in many ways, not least for the way in which he looks after his body to be able to continue competing in Formula 1 despite approaching his 40th birthday.
One aspect of his regime is that he does not consume alcohol. But the Brit admits that he has not been teetotal his whole life, having decided to sample some delectable drinks while working behind a bar as a teenager.
Hamilton made the admission ahead of last weekend's Australian Grand Prix. Speaking to Fox Sports in Melbourne, the Mercedes racer said he has "never been into pubs" as a punter, but recalled his final shift working behind the bar at a boozer.
