Formula 1 icon Lewis Hamilton took to social media to chart his appreciation after an Olympic champion declared the Brit was his hero.
Charles Hamelin carried Canada’s flag at the Beijing 2022 Opening Ceremony ahead of the ongoing Winter Games. The 37-year-old is his nation’s superstar short track speed skater, and he designed a special helmet to honour Hamilton during the Games.
“I did a little tribute to one of my idols,” Hamelin said on Instagram alongside a photo of the helmet inspired by the one worn by Hamilton at the controversial 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
