Really? It sounds like something every Miss World contestant would say, along with wishing for world peace and a cure for cancer.
I've never watched miss world. I just thought the appeals of them are distinctly different to the point many who find one an inspiration might find the other problematic.

Why would you not wish for world peace and a cure for cancer? confused

I don't remember him quoting Her Maj, but he's met her a few times and has quoted Mandela in the past and seemed a bit of a fanboy when he met him back in the day.

Meeting Mandela like meeting God

Bit off topic, but I find that Germans in general have a great sense of humor and you can have a right laugh with them once you get to know them.

I find Vettel comes across as a much more relaxed person this year, he knows he is not in the hunt and he is much more 'natural'.

I really started taking an interest in Seb after I saw him being interviewed a few years back. It was him and LH together. LH wearing his usual array of jewellery and gangsta paraphernalia. Seb wearing team t-shirt and cap. They were asked who inspires them and it went something like this:

LH: “The Queen and Nelson Mandela…” (so no pretentiousness then)
Seb: “My mum and dad”
LH: “Oh yeah, my mum and dad of course” (frantically back-pedalling)

Since then Seb has not had a lot of luck (well not a lot of good luck anyway) but has continued to impress me with his attitude and his humour

He came across really well and was again genuinely funny when he was on TG too

When I see things like him cleaning up after the GP he only goes up in my estimation even more
Lewis to be fair very frequently credits his parents as having been massively influentional and inspiring in his life.
TBF though the queen and Mandela is a pretty interesting pair to pick
And the precise question in that interview was "Who were the most inspirational people that you have met?"

Hamilton answered first, naming two highly inspirational figures who he has met.

But don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Team needs to get its act together. Poor pit stop, fuel miscalculation - Lawrence is going to be pissed.
