F1 News: Lewis Hamilton Stops For Fans In "GOAT" Move

Imagine watching Lewis Hamilton step out of his car in the middle of the night to meet you.

In a rather kind and humble gesture, Lewis Hamilton's car took a U-turn on the streets of Singapore to stop for photos and meet his fans during the wee hours on Friday. It was reported that National serviceman Muhammad Thasbeeh and his cousin waited for six hours on the spot in anticipation that they would see the seven-time world champion.

The duo stood near the circuit when they saw a black Mercedes with tinted windows exiting the circuit gates. Suspecting that it could be Hamilton, they held up a banner that displayed the British flag and his helmet.

The black sedan that was about to pass by took a sharp U-turn all of a sudden and came to a halt. What unfolded thereafter is shown in the video. Hamilton gets out of the car to meet the fans who stayed on until late in the night to get a glimpse of him. Thasbeeh told the press: 

“It was like a dream. To meet him in the scenario with no interruption from other fans or security guards was special. We had two to three minutes of time alone chatting with him.”
