Lewis Hamilton, celebrated as a seven-time Formula 1 world champion, recently recounted a humorous incident that revealed his imperfect side away from the racetrack. Sharing the story about a cooking attempt with his younger brother Nicolas, Hamilton offered fans a rare glimpse into his personal life, highlighting a moment full of both chaos and laughter.
The story took place years ago when Hamilton was left to babysit Nicolas while their parents were out. Reflecting on the experience, Hamilton said,
“Years and years ago, me and my brother… I remember I was babysitting him. Parents went out and I was like, ‘Okay, what am I gonna do with my brother?’”
—Lewis Hamilton.
Kitchen Adventures Turned Into a Race Against Time
Determined to make the best of the evening, the brothers grabbed a cookbook and challenged themselves to choose a dinner and dessert within 30 minutes. This mission sent them rushing through the aisles of their local Co-op store in search of ingredients. Hamilton admitted,
“We’re running up and down all the aisles, trying to find these [ingredients], I’ve never done this stuff before,”
—Lewis Hamilton.
However, the challenges didn’t end there. After shopping, they had to bump start Lewis’s old Mini due to a dead battery just to get back home and start their cooking effort.
The Outcome Was Far from Gourmet
Despite their enthusiasm, the results were less than stellar. Hamilton attempted a pasta bake, which he humorously described as a failure. He revealed,
“Mine tasted horrendous, I did like a pasta bake. It was disgusting, even the dog didn’t want to eat it,”
—Lewis Hamilton. In contrast, Nicolas succeeded in preparing a steak with peppercorn sauce, a triumph that Lewis admits Nicolas hasn’t let him forget since.
Moments Like These Connect Fans to Their Hero
This candid story not only shows that even top drivers can struggle in the kitchen but also strengthens the connection fans feel with Hamilton by showcasing his relatable imperfections. The cooking fail with his brother has since become a cherished memory the siblings share, offering laughter and a reminder that everyone has moments of imperfection.
