Lewis Hamilton triumphs over Travis Kelce, takes on Cristiano Ronaldo next in viral poll
Seven-time Formula 1 champion, Lewis Hamilton, was involved in a bizarre Instagram battle with Travis Kelce. The contest was initiated by the Instagram page Pubity where fans were expected to choose their preferred celebrity.
Despite Kelce’s massive fame — especially in the U.S. due to his relationship with Taylor Swift — Hamilton triumphed.
Now, Hamilton faces a tougher challenge as he competes against Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time and currently playing for football club AL Nassr.
The showdown is expected to be between two long-time rivals: Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Messi, the 2022 World Cup winner, is currently in a heated battle with Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of the Alpine F1 team.
