Even away from racing, drivers like to keep fit. Therefore, they participate in other sports to keep fit. So it came as no surprise to see Lewis play a tennis match. What is surprising, however, is to see him play against his father.
The two were certainly enjoying themselves, but that’s when Anthony decided he wanted to win. He played a trick shot against the Mercedes driver who failed to send the ball back to his father. Anthony was over the moon to have won while Lewis couldn’t help but laugh.
Meanwhile, Lewis’ dog Roscoe barked. Many in the F1 community would assume he was trying to cheer for the 7-time world champion.
