Lewis Hamilton Reveals the Wildest Place He’s Ever Signed an Autograph

Lewis Hamilton has spent more than two decades in the global spotlight, and with that fame comes unusual fan encounters. But even seven-time world champion admits some autograph requests stand out more than others. 

When asked recently about the strangest place he’s ever been asked to sign his name, Hamilton didn’t hesitate: “In the toilet. In the men’s toilet. It was definitely uncomfortable.”

The Ferrari star laughed while recalling this memory, but the moment captures just how far fans are willing to go for a chance to interact with him. Hamilton has built one of the largest followings in motorsport history, and his reputation as a driver who rarely turns down a fan has only added to his legend.

Unusual autograph stories are part of the territory for high-profile athletes, but Hamilton’s honesty about the awkward situation highlights both the intensity of F1 fandom and the constant attention he faces on and off the track. For Hamilton, balancing his racing career , business ventures, and activism has never meant ignoring fans — even when the timing is far from ideal.
