Everyone is allowed to be a fan of someone, even the top athletes as well. In a recent update on Instagram, 4-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka put up an interesting story. The Las Vegas Grand Prix has created a lot of buzz in the tennis community. While fans have seen the likes of Serena Williams and Venus Williams grace the F1 event in Miami in the past, no one knew about the fandom of the Japanese star, until now. However, Osaka’s way of telling us about her favorite F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton, was quite different from the rest.

Lewis Hamilton has etched his name in the history books as a legend of the sport and has been a fan-favorite for many years. Thus, it was only natural that Osaka was more inclined towards him than anyone else in F1.

In the midst of the racing fervor, Osaka’s social media lit up with an interesting surprise. However, this wasn’t a glimpse of a high-speed maneuver on the track. It was Lewis Hamilton, strutting in a clean and glittery outfit at a pre-race event. 

Osaka, being the fashion aficionado she is, couldn’t help but share her thoughts. Her Instagram story revealed a snippet from Hamilton’s dazzling runway. It was accompanied by a caption that spilled the beans on her F1 fascination and her habit of watching the Netflix docu-series, Drive to Survive. She wrote: “NGL there was a point when I was watching F1 Netflix to see his outfits.”
