Lewis Hamilton had a brief response to a Formula 1 fan’s social media post recounting her mother’s comical mix-up. The fan, known as @norajooo on TikTok, shared the incident on Wednesday, October 29th, following a series of messages from her mother.
The pair had visited a Tumi luggage store in the U.S. to meet Oscar Piastri before the previous year’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, where George Russell and Lewis Hamilton had successful podium finishes. Nora’s mother inquired about the individuals they had encountered at the shop in 2024.
Her message read, “who did we meet at Temu?”, to which Nora replied with a simple “What”. Subsequently, her mother followed up with three texts asking if they had met Lewis Hamilton in Las Vegas.
Nora then posted a picture captioned “Anyways, this was me with Louis Hamilton at Temu,” although the image actually showed her with Oscar Piastri at the Tumi store.
The post garnered global attention, with even seven-time Formula One World Champion Hamilton viewing it and leaving a comment below. He wrote “real” under the clip, leading Nora to express feeling “unwell” and joking about the unexpected interaction.
She mentioned, “I feel like I went to the Vatican and accidentally got blessed by the pope himself. Out of all my posts about Sir Lewis Hamilton, he ended up commenting on the one where my mum called him Lewis Hamilton from Temu.”
Numerous fans flooded the comments section to share their excitement over Hamilton’s response, with one user exclaiming, “Girl I’m dead. Not THE Lewis Hamilton commenting.” Another commenter found the situation amusing, highlighting the humor in the mix-up with the location and driver reference.
Overall, the incident brought a light-hearted moment for the fans and Nora, showcasing the unexpected interactions that can unfold on social media platforms.
