F1 Racing

You say you like the track here—why is that?

Lewis is asked about his "welcome to F1 moment" during the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix Pre-Race Press Conference:

japanese hotels have the tiniest rooms imaginable, mainly because they're dealing with businessmen with no luggage who are only staying for just one night. (...) i guess the biggest problem is the little rice pillows they use in that part of the world. they're very small and uncomfortable by our standards.

on one occasion with aston martin, team members were complaining so much that one of our drivers, sebastian vettel, went out and bought everyone a roll-up travel pillow. that was really good – and typical of seb. i've kept my pillow and bring it with me each time i go to japan.
