A touching moment captured on video shows Lewis Hamilton making an F1 race marshal’s day.

At the Singapore Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton made a kind gesture that thrilled a marshal.

At the Singapore Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton displayed his elegant side with a move that made a marshal grin broadly. Despite qualifying in third place, the Mercedes driver finished in sixth place after a calculated risk on strategy that did not work out.

Before being brought in for a new set of hard tires, Hamilton was on soft tires and was not able to keep up with the leaders. Before the race was completed, he argued over the radio that Mercedes had pitted him too soon, costing him a couple spots.

Prior to starting his race, Hamilton brightened the day of a marshal with a kind gesture that was captured on video and shared on Mercedes’ social media platforms. It happened during the drivers’ parade, in which the drivers got on a truck trailer and completed a circuit lap.

In an attempt to get Hamilton’s attention, he saw a marshal yelling his name while holding up a hand-drawn placard.

Hamilton took out a pen and scribbled his name in the corner of the poster before returning it to her. The marshal, clearly thrilled by Hamilton’s deed of generosity, returned to her place with a gleam in her eye.

We’ve been trying this for four years now, a marshal who was equally ecstatic that Hamilton had signed his colleague’s banner remarked to the camera as he embraced her.

Only three weeks had passed since Hamilton had interacted with another marshal at the Italian Grand Prix, where he was warmly welcomed before joining Ferrari the following year.
