“Get some rest”: Lewis Hamilton teases upcoming bedtime hour collaboration with BBC 

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton teased an upcoming collaboration with BBC on social media ahead of the British GP this weekend. The seven-time world champion has been an inspiration to many with his rags-to-riches story and conquered the pinnacle of motorsport with his grit, determination and talent.

While speaking about his journey to becoming the most decorated F1 driver of all time, the 39-year-old has often encouraged people to dream and work towards achieving it.

Ahead of the British GP this weekend, Hamilton collaborated with BBC to narrate the story of Small’s Big Dream by Manjeet Mann, with illustrations by Amanda Quartey to help the kids fall asleep. The Mercedes driver reposted the BBC post with himself and shared on Instagram stories:

"Get some rest."

The book follows the story of Small, a girl who believes that her dreams are too big and out of grasp to become reality and tries her best to squeeze them down, but they continue to spring back up. Talking about the book, Lewis Hamilton said:

“I felt it was really inspiring. It reminded me of my childhood and the big dreams that I had as a kid. I know that there are many kids out there who have big dreams too. Perhaps there will be people telling them that their dream’s too big.

"But I feel like this story really emphasizes that no dream is too big or small and as long as you believe in yourself and continue to work hard, stay focused, and give it absolutely everything, anything is possible.” he added.

Lewis Hamilton gives his take on Max Verstappen-Lando Norris incident in Austria

Lewis Hamilton said that he doesn't agree with McLaren team boss Andrea Stella's assessment of the collision where he claimed that Max Verstappen's aggressive defense was a result of unresolved issues from the 2021 season.

In his pre-race press conference in Silverstone, the Mercedes driver said (via Sky Sports)

"I don't agree with that, no."

Lando Norris, though, took a dig at Lewis Hamilton and defended his team boss:

"I'm sure Lewis would agree with it two years ago or three years ago, 100 percent. There were definitely certain things, there were definitely a few moments especially. On the whole, I'm always going to stand up for what Andrea said.

"I think Andrea's got a very good amount of sensibility with how he talks and things he talks about. So definitely I think certain parts are true and I do agree with Andrea as a note." he added.

Since the Austrian GP, the likes of Gorge Russell, Sergio Perez and Alex Albon have defended Max Verstappen's defense on Lando Norris and termed the incident as 'hard racing'.
