Lewis Hamilton gave a brief response to a Formula 1 fan who shared an amusing incident involving her mother on social media. The fan, known as @norajooo on TikTok, uploaded the story on October 29th. The tale revolved around a visit to a Tumi luggage store in the U.S. where they met Oscar Piastri prior to the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year. Nora’s mother inquired about the encounter in 2024, mistakenly referring to Lewis Hamilton as ‘Louis Hamilton at Temu’.
In response to her mother’s message, Nora simply replied, “What.” The confusion continued with her mother suggesting Lewis Hamilton as the person they met in Las Vegas. Nora later posted a photo claiming she was with ‘Louis Hamilton at Temu’, but the image actually showed her with Oscar Piastri.
The post garnered attention worldwide, including from Lewis Hamilton himself, who left a comment. Hamilton’s comment of “real” left Nora feeling overwhelmed, comparing the experience to being blessed by the pope accidentally.
Fans flooded the comments section, expressing their excitement over Hamilton’s response. One user humorously remarked on the mix-up, while another found the entire situation hilarious. The light-hearted banter continued with fans joking about Lewis Hamilton being referred to as ‘Your driver’.
