Lewis Hamilton is a man of many interests, apart from racing in Formula 1. The Briton is an avid enjoyer of fashion and watching multiple other sporting categories. Hence, amidst the ongoing winter break and preparations for the Ferrari move, Hamilton took to Instagram to celebrate Denver Broncos‘ entry into the NFL playoffs.
Denver Broncos clinched their first playoff qualification since 2015 after securing a dominant 38-0 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. The entire stadium rose up in celebration of the massive feat after such a long time. Even Lewis Hamilton, who is a minor stakeholder of the team, rejoiced at the long-awaited qualification into the playoffs.
Hamilton took to Instagram and congratulated the team on scoring the ‘amazing results’. The 39-year-old reckoned that he couldn’t have been happier for the team following their dominant win. The Briton further applauded the team’s historic performances in the NFL. The seven-time world champion was also looking forward to the Broncos’ performance in the upcoming match against the Buffalo Bills.

The team has banked high hopes on the seven-time world champion to take them back to their championship-winning days.

Following the move, Formula 1 held a vote for the fans to decide the best driver lineup for the 2025 season. A majority of the fans, over 56% voted for the duo of Hamilton-Leclerc as the best lineup. The young line-up of McLaren including Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri formed the runner-up with just around 29% of the votes. This meant that even the fans were expecting a flashy performance from the two.
Ferrari has also planned an ‘elastic’ testing schedule for Hamilton around late January due to the uncertain temperature conditions around Fiorano. The Italian constructor will run on full thrust for the upcoming season as the Briton would have to get accustomed to the crew before providing the right feedback for development.
