Photographed together, the serial winners were standing on a balcony. The Los Angeles Lakers star stood next to Lewis with his hand around his shoulder.

Many consider these two the greatest of all time in their respective sports as they stand above most. But while standing next to each other, the difference in their builds is something we could not fathom. When converted to foot, LeBron is about 6′9″ and Lewis is 5′8″. That’s a massive difference, which somehow is not as evident in the photo.

It was partly because of the bumpy track of Monaco as well, but Lewis is hoping the problem will go away. “I am praying that the car doesn’t feel like it does here because here it has felt the worst it has so far with the bumps.”

“I am looking forward to some more open track and I am praying that it is not as bumpy as here.” said the Mercedes pilot.

Let’s hope Baku is a better race for Mercedes and the rest of the grid, as a lot of teams would want to forget the unpredictable race in Monaco.
