Watch ‘legend’ Lewis Hamilton get soaked as he snowboards into freezing Antarctic water.. then hike up hill to try AGAIN
LEWIS HAMILTON swapped his Formula One car for a more basic mode of transport, but ended up getting soaked in the process.
The 38-year-old tried his hand at snowboarding with three-time Olympic gold medallist Shaun White.
And White was left impressed by Hamilton‘s desire to succeed, even if his snowboarding skills were not always up to scratch.
White posted a video to his Instagram page of him snowboarding over freezing Antarctic water after coming down a hill.
Hamilton then followed suit, but was unable to adjust as he hit the water, losing his balance and consequently falling in for a freezing bath.
After getting up and wringing out his wet clothing, the Brit incredibly hiked back up to the top of the hill to try again.
And on the second go he succeeded in copying White’s move.
White captioned the video by saying: “@lewishamilton is such a legend.
“He had the guts to follow me over the Antarctic water, and after not making it he immediately hiked back up, soaking wet and freezing to do it again!
“That’s the champions mind set and I loved seeing it.”

His trip to the bottom of the world comes just days after his F1 race Down Under for the Australian Grand Prix.
Hamilton finished P2 behind championship leader Max Verstappen during a chaotic race which saw EIGHT drivers retire and three red flags.
