Hamilton further described the experience has developed a stronger love for animals in him and that he felt more at peace while in the continent.
“I feel like I have gained a new perspective on life, grown an even stronger love for animals and became even closer with my brothers who I’ve shared this special journey with. Everywhere I look I’m surrounded by so much beauty, and I feel truly re-centred and at peace,” he noted.
Hamilton finished second after Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in the Hungarian Grand Prix while his co-driver George Russel finished third.
The next Grand Prix is slated to take place in Belgium on August, 28
