Lewis Hamilton is friends with multiple athletes in the sports industry. But the Brit is also known for his love for snowboarding and taking to the mountains every once in a while.

With Shaun White and him being friends, they both have respect for their sports as they have even snowboarded together. So, when the American was asked by Offball about who his favorite F1 driver was, he claimed Hamilton to be his favorite racer, as he said:

"I mean, I love watching Lewis [Hamilton] do his thing. Been lucky enough to become friends with him. Amazing guy. Loves to snowboard. We've been riding together, and so, yeah, I'm always cheering for him."

On the other hand, while White has reduced his exposure to competing in the snowboard realm over the past few years, the same cannot be said for Hamilton. The Briton is 40 and began his next F1 chapter with the onset of the 2025 season as he moved to Maranello over the winter break to become a Ferrari driver.

Though Lewis Hamilton has not had a stellar debut season with the Italian squad, having a best finish of fourth in the Grand Prix format in the first 15 rounds, there are still nine race weekends to come. The paddock would be hoping for him to claim a podium by the end of the season to continue his podium streak in the series since his debut.
