Lewis Hamilton revealed the nickname, with which only his mother and sister are allowed to address him. The Briton revealed his open side in an interview with Esquire Middle East in a rapid-fire Q&A.

“I never had a nickname. My mother calls me Lu. But only my mom and my sisters can call me Lu, otherwise nobody else calls me Lu. I don’t accept it. ”
