Lewis Hamilton had a brief but impactful response to a Formula 1 fan’s social media post recounting an amusing mix-up involving her mother. The fan, known as @norajooo on TikTok, shared the incident on Wednesday, October 29th, following a series of messages from her mom.
The mother-daughter duo had visited a Tumi luggage store in the United States to meet with Oscar Piastri before the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year, where George Russell and Lewis Hamilton claimed podium finishes. Nora’s mother messaged her daughter, inquiring about the individuals they had encountered at the shop in 2024.
In a message reading “who did we meet at Temu?”, Nora replied with a simple “What”. Subsequently, her mom sent three more texts asking if they had met Lewis Hamilton at the shop in Las Vegas.
Nora later posted a picture with a caption stating she was with “Louis Hamilton at Temu.” However, the photo shared was actually of her with Oscar Piastri at the Tumi store.
The post garnered significant attention worldwide, including from seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who left a comment on the post. His remark under the clip simply said “real,” which left Nora feeling overwhelmed. She expressed her disbelief, stating she spent 30 minutes screaming but remained nonchalant.
She humorously compared the experience to being blessed by the Pope accidentally, noting the irony of Hamilton commenting on a post where her mom mistakenly referred to him as “Lewis Hamilton from Temu.”
Fans flooded the comments section, expressing their excitement over Hamilton’s response. One user jokingly exclaimed, “Girl I’m dead. Not THE Lewis Hamilton commenting.” Another user found the mix-up and Hamilton’s comment hilarious, while a third playfully remarked on the “Your driver” reference as if Hamilton were an Uber driver.
The interaction generated a buzz among fans, highlighting the lighthearted moment between the fan, her mother, and the renowned Formula 1 driver.
