Lewis Hamilton, visiting Argentina, surprised with his walk through Palermo: "Beautiful place"

Lewis Hamilton was 13 years old when Formula 1 contested the last Argentine Grand Prix. Now, that he has 37 and seven world titles, he surprised with his visit to Buenos Aires.

The Englishman announced his arrival in the City this Friday through his Instagram account, where just two days ago he had shown himself skiing.

In the stories that he uploaded to that social network at 8 in the morning, he is seen running through the streets of Buenos Aires without being noticed by anyone.

First, the Mercedes driver posted a video running in front of the Law School, pinning an Argentine flag on it and writing: "First time in Argentina, beautiful place."

Then, the British published a photo of the work Floralis Generica, located in the Plaza de las Naciones Unidas, in Recoleta. His next stop on his tour of the streets of Buenos Aires was the lakes of Palermo.

Dressed in a red sports shirt, a white scarf on his head and sunglasses, the images show that Hamilton went unnoticed by fans and cholulos, who did not realize that before them was one of the best drivers in history.

According to reports, the next step of his vacation in Argentina, where he will actually spend New Year's Eve, will be Ushuaia to embark there for Antarctica. The idea arose from a WhatsApp group with friends, to whom the pilot told them that he wanted to start 2023 at the south pole.

For this reason, the strongest version is that this same Friday in which he uploaded the stories to Instagram, he had already left the hotel where he was staying in Buenos Aires bound for Tierra del Fuego.

From there, one of the protagonists of each Formula 1 season for a decade would get on a cruise that will connect him with Antarctica, one of the excursions that resumed its activity last summer after being suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. . In your case, of course, it will be a private trip.

The confirmation of his visit to Argentina generated repercussions on Twitter, where since Thursday night there was talk that he had been seen at a service station and even displayed a credit card ticket in his name.

With the confirmation on his Instagram, fans began to wonder where he was staying so they could pass him on the street. Argentine pilot Franco Colapinto joined him and wrote: "Welcome to Argentina @LewisHamilton! Contact me if you need a tour guide, I'll be happy to show you Buenos Aires!"

Less than two months ago, his former Mercedes teammate and current Alfa Romeo driver, Valtteri Bottas, also revolutionized Buenos Aires with another unexpected visit.

The Finn did not choose the South of the country but Mendoza. “I am here for the Malbec. And the views, ”he wrote in November on his Instagram account after he made it known in his stories that he was in Argentina.

Bottas arrived with his partner, Australian professional cyclist Tiffany Cromwell. It was the free week that the drivers had between the Mexican Grand Prix and the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

The couple toured the Pulenta Estate Winery, enjoyed some products and a private tasting, and then withdrew to continue in tourist mode through various corners of the province until landing in the City of Buenos Aires, where the fans went out to look for the pilot and some took selfies and autographs.
