Lewis Hamilton opened up on a scary encounter with a shark while surfing ahead of this weekend's Australian Grand Prix.
Hamilton is a keen surfer and rarely wastes an opportunity to ride the waves whenever he heads Down Under. Before making his way to Melbourne, the Brit stopped in Byron Bay for exactly that reason.
But the seven-time F1 world champion got a little more than he bargained for on this occasion. He very much enjoyed heading out onto the open water as always, but this time he was a little more on edge after spotting an unwelcome visitor.
