Ferrari Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton has responded to critics who brand his ventures away from the championship as distractions.
The seven-time champion, who made his F1 debut in 2007, has worked to branch out into other areas alongside his racing career. Other business ventures of his have included co-founding the vegan restaurant chain Neat Burger, launching Team X44 in the Extreme E racing series, joining the ownership group of NFL team, the Denver Broncos, and creating the non-alcoholic spirit brand Almave.
