lewis being interview by margot laffite for canal+ at the qatar gp '23
I act like a kid all the time. I’m not embarrassed about it; I love having fun. So that’s why, you know, I’m always skydiving, surfing or I’m skiing or I’m riding my bike or whatever might be, that’s me being a kid. And that’s something I refuse to ever let go.
transcript below :-)
So Lewis. I don't want today to talk about the World champion, the Formula 1 driver, I would like to talk about Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton, if you don’t mind. Can you describe the kind of kid you were at home and at school? What kind of kid were you?
[Smiling] Did you ever had a show called Dennis the Menace?
Oh yes of course.
You did?
Of that kind, yeah. Denis la Malice.
I was like Dennis the Menace 2.0. [laughs] I was climbing trees, I was just always riding my bike down the fastest hill. Naturally super competitive in everything that I did and, uhm, my dad helped me concentrate that energy into racing and that’s where stability came.
We know you were a huge fan of Ayrton Senna, but did you watch like every single F1 race, documentaries about F1?
No, when I was a kid I only watched documentaries on Ayrton Senna, read his books. Anything to do with Ayrton I would have it, whether it was a coffee mug or, not that I drink coffee as a kid, but I was watching Gran Prix from like since I was like 4 with my dad on the weekends. Yeah, Sunday sitting with my dad watching races was one of the best times, I remember.
If you could go back in time, where and when would it be?
It would probably be when I was living with my mum, before I was 8, so, yeah.
You are running the world so, how difficult is it to build friendships?
Yeah, it’s definitely not the easiest I would say. My two closest friends are from school, yeah, they are my brothers. Places where I’ve found good friendships are obviously on my job, and then when I’m doing music, when I’m working with musicians, it’s just like a different realm and there I’ve built some incredible relationships also.
What does being a grown up mean to you? Is it like tiresome to be more conscious of the impact you have on things and people, rather than the pleasant innocence of being a child?
I act like a kid all the time. I’m not embarrassed about it; I love having fun. So that’s why, you know, I’m always skydiving, surfing or I’m skiing or I’m riding my bike or whatever might be, that’s me being a kid. And that’s something I refuse to ever let go.
When you play a game with some children, maybe your family, nieces and nephews, do you let them win?
No, I try to win! I just [laughs] and they are good, they are getting good, so I have to get my wins while I can. But, my dad never let me win anything when I was a kid. I think is good to learn how to lose anyways, so [laughs]
Are you always on time or sometimes you’re late?
No, I’m always late. The only time I’m ever on time is when I’m getting in the car to race. But like if I’m going for a flight, I’m always late. I don’t know, I like the limit, yeah. [jokingly] I like getting there around the limit, I like the rush.
What are your thoughts and feelings about Max Verstappen? The man he is, the kind of champion.
He’s done an exceptional job. I think the team has done an amazing job. Collectively they truly deserve the success. Max has been faultless this year, he’s not made any mistakes. I only hope that there’s a time when I’ll be able to put up a fight for him.
When you quit F1 would you still want race like Dakar or the 24 Hours of Le Mans?
I currently don't really have any, like, zero, like, feelings to do those things. I love motorbikes, I’ve always loved Moto GP, still love it today. I have 2 super bikes. I think I probably always just gonna take my bikes out. I won’t compete professionally in anything ever again. It takes 10,000 hours to be, you know, a master of something else. I wanna spend that 10,000 hours on being the best dad or something like that, you know, or running my businesses in the best way I can. Where all my energy and focus will go to. For now, I’ll continue to skydive, I’ll continue to surf, those are probably the, riding the bikes, surfing and skydiving, those are the 3 fun things that I’ll make sure I always do.
So.. I am rereading Snakes and Lions by @her-smile-forges-galaxies AND YOU SHOULD TOTALLY CHECK IT OUT ITS FUCKING AMAZING.
So in the fic Remus is a Slytherin (in which bed I would like to slyther-in🥴) and he is bff with reg. AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS MAN LIVES BY THE MOTO: GASLIGHT.GATEKEEP.GIRLBOSS
Spoiler: I mean when he got the mark he is was like how Sirius won't find out but we can still fuck- kinky sex I mean fucking amazing.Like for sure reg was waiting for him in the dorm after their date getting ready for a heartbroken Remus but no and I imagine the convo was like:
Reg: did U broke my brother's heart
Remus: no but I broke his back😎😎😎
Or when he put wards around the shack so they would find out he has the mark THEN PROCEEDED TO PLAY DUMB
Remus: the door was locked 😱 how did this happen 🤔
(24 hours ago he put the wards)
I mean like the first I fucking cried when he tried to make Sirius hate him but now to me is fucking funny I just love dark Remus AND HIS INTERACTION WITH BELLA CHEF KISS I swear he has the whole black family around his finger.Even when they were hunting the horcuxes he was like ama take care of Bella I SWEAR I thought he gonna sleep with her or do threesome with her husband (he did something cooler😩)

Up. Was sleeping OK. Now, anxiety. Worrying will everything I'm bringing home from Zoe’s house fit in the car?
Zoe condemned me in her journal She called me a Narcissist. I will only give money to gay men. I abandoned her. I read it yesterday afternoon. Jarring and disconcerting.
She was raging about my buying a car for Martin instead of giving the money to her. This would have been in 2011 or so. Martin was my “partner” then and he was helping me stay sober. Zoe was far away, had aa modest income via retirement. She had health issues that prevented her from working. She was in a desperate state.
I like that “In a desperate state”.
All Government is a “desperate state” who’s Moto is “YoYo”. “You are on your Own.”
Largely, outside of a little coaching from Hospice, Zoe’s death experience has been YoYo.
Zoe’s death experience was like a jury trial. Hospice was the defense lawyer, who briefly told the client how to try the case, then left the room leaving the client to try the case on his own.
Charlene, the hospice secretary, made it clear from the get go. “You need 24 hour care for Zoe. Who’s going to do it? And , she said that if we could not get Zoe covered by medicare, then no hospice.
Luckily we did get Zoe enrolled in medicare, hospice did get involved. Zoe’s palliative care drugs were covered by medicare. And, hospice was great. Great coaching.
But, Skyler an I tried the case.
Skylar and I were the Government through this. And, death itself was part of the team.
After becoming the first female to win the 24 Hours of Barcelona, María has received an invitation to race on EWC. She has an invitation to do another 24 Hours, but is clashing with the Moto3 wildcard. María does want to do some endurance races, but she is focused on MotoE and whatever comes in her way. She sees doing EWC, but only at the end of her career.
Classical Music for Halloween - from Halidon Music
Idk if this is Halloween per se, as it’s more dark autumnal vibes than spoopy. Like most of their videos, it’s 2.5 hours long. (I often find 3-6 hour mixes, rarely anything around 1-hour or less.) Lots of very good tunes, including a lot of stuff I love.
There’s a few that bug me. Gershwin’s prelude andante whatever is too modern-jazzy to me. (I first heard it played on hammered dulcimer, and it sounds even worse to me there.) Tired of “A Night on Bald Mountain”, especially for Halloween mixes. It’s good, but it’s overplayed.
I liked seeing “Palladio” by Karl Jenkins, aka the diamond song. The opening track stole my heart, showing this would be a good mix of stuff that’s not over-played. It feels like a prime example of what I expect from a “dark academia” mix. Really, a lot of this stuff is “new” to me, or at least something I’ve only heard in recent years.
It only took about half an hour to realize I wanted to share this mix.
