The Mercedes F1 driver - the most successful on the grid, arguably the greatest of all time and🍸 certainly the most famous in today’s era - takes no chances with secur🐼ity when he arrives at grands prix.

Ex-F1 driver Coulthard has asked why.

"He’s the only driver who actually has a security man that works with him at the track," Coulthard said on the podcast🍷. 

"I don’t know what danger he feels h♔e might be in. 

"Somebody coming up and asking for an autograph?"

Coulthard theorised that Hamilton's use of a large entourage could be due to generational differences to his fe💛llow drivers.

"I think there’s a g♈roup of youဣng drivers right now that seem to relate to each other," Coulthard said. 

"The onl𝓰y outlier would really be Lewis, maybe it’s because Lewis has been around for longer.

"You see quite a lot of the younger guys, your Georg꧒es, your Landos, and whoever else, hanging ꧅out with each other away from the racetrack."

Eddie Jordan replied♑ to Coulthard: “You’ve got to give Lewis some credit.

“Because he is still the most revered driverꦇ in Formula 1 at the moment. I know we talk about Max, but Max is a much more laid-back guy.

“Whereas Lewis is front of house, box office, top꧑ class.

“Full marks to Lewis becaus🔯e, in any of the interviews, he’ll always give credit to the other drivers around him.

“He’ll always credit the💃m. You never hear him fall out with Russell or any of the other guys even if there 🅠is conflict or if there’s touching.

꧅“Of course, recently, he did have trouble wit🔴h Alonso. But that seems to have mended its ways.”
