Tom Brady and Lewis Hamilton are widely considered the GOAT in their respective sports. In a recent interview with People, Hamilton spoke about his career, and how it has helped the F1 icon form close bonds with successful athletes like Brady and Serena Williams.

As per Hamilton, Tom Brady is a supportive friend, and someone we can learn a lot from:

"We were actually messaging this morning. He's so incredibly supportive and we support each other. For someone that was so inspirational within his sport, very impactful, great team leader, there's so much to learn from him and take from him."

Hamilton also spoke about excelling in a sport, and how alienating that can be.

"It can be quite a lonely experience being at the top of your sport. So, to be able to confide in other individuals who have experienced something similar."

The 38-year-old even spoke about Williams, and how they discuss sports and competition.


Lewis Hamilton and Tom Brady are also golf buddies

Both Hamilton and Brady also seem to love golf. Last year, the duo teamed up for a round of golf for the Big Pilot golf challenge. The event was hosted by IWC, and was held at the 18-hole Miami Beach Golf Club.

Both icons took some time off, raising money for underprivileged children in the area. Though Hamilton hadn't played golf in a good three years, he seemed to do well alongside Brady. In fact, the Mercedes driver didn't miss the opportunity to show off their achievements:

"14 world titles in a single tweet," Lewis Hamilton wrote.

Brady, of course, had to share his version of events on social media:

"Some guy with 7 world titles, and Tom Brady," Brady wrote.

Earlier this month, Hamilton spoke about how Tom Brady and LeBron James were examples of how sportspeople can succeed later in their careers.

He said:

"If you look at LeBron [James], if you look at Tom Brady, they have shown that it can be sustained for as long as you are dedicated enough to put the energy and time in"
