Naomi Osaka gives shoutout to Lewis Hamilton after $300M F1 superstar breaks the internet with Ferrari debut picture

Naomi Osaka gave a shoutout to Lewis Hamilton after the seven-time World Champion driver broke the internet with a picture from his first day at Ferrari. The Brit surprised the sporting fraternity last year when he announced that he would be parting ways with Mercedes after 12 years to join The Prancing Horse.

Hamilton, who arrived in Maranello on January 20th, shared a picture posing in front of the legendary Enzo Ferrari's house on his Instagram. The 40-year-old looked royal as ever donning a classy black suit on top of a white shirt with a white tie. He wore a black coat on top of it and placed beside the F1 legend was a stylish vintage red Ferrari car.

In his caption, Hamilton expressed his excitement over joining his 'dream' team. The picture has garnered nearly 3 million likes and received 35K+ comments.

"There are some days that you know you’ll remember forever and today, my first as a Ferrari driver, is one of those days. I’ve been lucky enough to have achieved things in my career I never thought possible, but part of me has always held on to that dream of racing in red. I couldn’t be happier to realise that dream today."

"Today we start a new era in the history of this iconic team, and I can’t wait to see what story we will write together."

Hamilton won a monumental six World Championships during his time with Mercedes and finished seventh in his final season with the Silver Arrows, a place behind teammate George Russell.
