Lewis Hamilton had a brief response to a Formula 1 fan’s social media post detailing her mother’s comical mix-up. The F1 enthusiast, known as @norajooo on TikTok, shared the incident on Wednesday, October 29, following multiple messages from her mom.
The pair had visited a Tumi luggage store in the United States to meet Oscar Piastri before the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year, where George Russell and Lewis Hamilton achieved podium finishes. Nora’s mother inquired about their encounter at the shop in 2024, mistakenly referring to it as “Temu.”
Nora replied with a simple “What” after her mom’s initial message, which was followed by three more texts from her mom mentioning Las Vegas and questioning if they met Lewis Hamilton. Subsequently, Nora posted an image with the caption “Anyways, this was me with Louis Hamilton at Temu,” although the picture actually showed her with Oscar Piastri at the Tumi store.
The post garnered attention globally, with even seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton commenting on it. Hamilton wrote “real” under the clip, which left Nora feeling overwhelmed. She expressed her surprise, stating that she felt like she had been unexpectedly blessed by the pope at the Vatican.
Despite her numerous posts about Sir Lewis Hamilton, it was the one where her mom referred to him as Lewis Hamilton from Temu that caught his attention. Fans flooded the comments section, expressing their excitement over Hamilton’s response, with one user exclaiming, “Girl I’m dead. Not THE Lewis Hamilton commenting.”
The humorous incident sparked reactions from other users, with one joking about Lewis being Nora’s driver like an Uber ride. The playful banter and unexpected interaction with the F1 star delighted many fans who engaged with the post.
