Formula one Driver Lewis Hamilton will risk losing his focus on this Sunday’s French Grand Prix by watching England play a World Cup match shortly before the race.
The four-time world champion said he will try to do two things at once — prepare for the race and support England when they play Panama.
“It’s going to be a little harder to focus on the race because we will be watching it,” he told reporters on Thursday.
“The game will be on TV here and l am sure my guys will try to keep an eye on both things at the same time — as will I.
“And it’s exciting to watch. Every time, I was driving around at home last week the games were on everywhere.”
He added: “Winning the World Cup is a dream for every kid and I am privileged that I am here in F1 — I am very proud to be a Brit! As soon as l won the world championship last year, I grabbed the flag.
