Tom Holland believes Lewis Hamilton is a role model after the season finale

The Spider-Man movie star believes the seven-time world champion was a role model, especially with his dignified demeanor after the season finale. Holland praised the fellow Briton's dedication to his craft and work ethic.

Praising Lewis Hamilton as a role model, Holland said:

“I don't think I've ever met anyone with a work ethic quite like him. And also the way he handled what happened at the end of the season. He lost with such grace and he was a real role model I think. I don’t know him that well but I know him well enough to say I'm very proud of him.”
