Lewis Hamilton recently shared a lighthearted video discussing which Winter Olympic sport he would compete in if given the chance. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion admitted that bobsledding has always intrigued him, combining his love of speed with a team-oriented challenge.
“If I was to do a Winter Olympic sport… It would be bobsledding. Always wanted to do bobsledding. There’s no Grenadian team, so maybe I would take my best friend Jan and then a couple other characters from Grenada and create a bobsleigh team,” Hamilton explained, highlighting his imaginative and playful side beyond the F1 cockpit.
The Briton also mentioned an interest in biathlon events, joking about his shooting skills. “I’d love cross-country skiing and then the shooting. I’d kill the shooting because I’m so good at it. I’m less good at cross-country skiing,” he said, showing both humor and self-awareness about his athletic strengths.
He praised the dedication of athletes from unlikely winter nations: “I’ve just seen they’ve got a Jamaican cross-country skier who’s doing amazing, considering they’ve got no snow in Jamaica. It’s a cool story.” However, Hamilton admitted that certain physical attributes, like height, would make some sports challenging for him: “You need some good height for the skis and I don’t have that. So maybe another sport. Bobsledding, I would kill it.”
This playful insight into Lewis Hamilton’s personality shows a different side of the seven-time world champion. Beyond dominating tracks with Ferrari in the 2025 and 2026 seasons, he clearly enjoys imagining new adventures and celebrating inspiring stories from around the world.
While bobsledding may remain a fantasy for Lewis Hamilton, his enthusiasm reflects his competitive spirit and his appreciation for athletes who overcome challenges to compete on the world stage. Fans can only imagine the energy and drive he would bring to any Olympic ice track!
Lewis Hamilton’s fascination with bobsledding and the biathlon therefore reveals a competitor who is always looking for the next technical and physical challenge. By envisioning a Grenadian bobsled team, the Briton isn’t just talking about a hobby; he’s highlighting his innate desire to break barriers and create legacy, much as he has done within the Mercedes and Ferrari paddocks. While his “shooting” skills remain untested on the Olympic stage, his ability to target a goal and achieve it is a matter of record. As the 2026 F1 season approaches, it’s clear that the Seven-Time Champion remains inspired by “cool stories” of underdogs and the raw thrill of high-velocity sports.
