F1 Fans Outraged By Lewis Hamilton's Shocking Habit

Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton took to Instagram to livestream him making music, however, the attention of the fans watching was taking by something else he did. 

Whilst streaming his music, he began to casually vape, shocking fans with the habit that is associated with smoking. What took fans by surprise the most is that as an athlete, F1 drivers have to be so focused on being in top shape for each race. One fan commented:

"I'm more surprise because he's an athlete but I'm sure he's not the only one"

Another fan responded:

"pls i’m shocked, even though i remember seeing videos of him smoking shisha years ago"

The moment has caused fans to be curious about the other drivers on the grid. Someone else wrote:

"Out of this year's older drivers I'm less surprised that Lewis uses a vape after seeing photos of him smoking previously, but I'm curious to know if any of the other drivers smoke As a non-smoker with increased sensitivity, I know what you mean about second hand smoke exposure"

Another Twitter user jumped to the Mercedes driver's defence arguing that despite the habit he will still be extremely healthy and that he should be allowed to let his hair down every now and then. They commented:

"And why does it matter if he does? Even in 20 years he’ll be more healthy than 90% of his peers, let the man live"
