Serena Williams is widely considered the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) of tennis and she believes that her dear friend Lewis Hamilton will achieve the same heights in F1. Lewis has won 6 championships so far to be just 1 shy from the great Michael Schumacher tat has the record for being the driver with most F1 titles (7). However, Seren Williams seems to be confident that Lewis will achieve more than the German legend.
“He is for me the greatest driver that our generation has seen. I’m confident that he will break the record of Michael Schumacher, who was also a fabulous driver,” said Serena talking to the media during her French Open press conference.
Serena Williams and her friendship with Lewis Hamilton
Then Serena explained her relationship with Lewis Hamilton and the fact that they are very good friends to say:
“Lewis and I are super close. I’ve known him for years. I love that guy. He’s a really good friend of mine. The guy is such a champion, has such a champion’s mindset. I look at what he does training, physically, his job, it’s really no words for it, to be honest.
Lewis is so intense. If you know anything, even if you’re a fan, you know he lives his life on his sleeve. He’s very emotional. He says what he says. That’s just who he is. He doesn’t care who you are. That’s one thing I’ve grown to really appreciate about him, as well.”
