Lewis Hamilton sends powerful message to Jamaican bobsleigh team at 2026 Winter Olympics

Lewis Hamilton has sent a heartfelt message to the Jamaican bobsleigh team on social media.

The Jamaicans rose to fame at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, despite finishing outside the medal places.

From a country where it never snows, their participation was a feel-good story of hard work paying off.

They also inspired the iconic film, Cool Runnings, released in 1993.

Hamilton’s message came as the Jamaicans are competing at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games this month.

Hamilton revealed that the Jamaican bobsleigh team inspired him when he was growing up.

Born in 1985, Hamilton is too young to remember the 1988 Winter Olympics, but he would have been eight years old when Cool Runnings was released.

The Ferrari driver reminisced about taking inspiration from the Jamaicans decades ago and urged fans to take them seriously this year.
