Mercedes have taken to social media to share an adorable interaction between Lewis Hamilton and a young fan excited to meet the F1 legend.
The seven-time world champion has a huge and dedicated fanbase, with people travelling from far and wide to wish him well and ask for his autograph at race weekends.
One such lucky fan met the Mercedes driver at the Monza circuit over the Italian Grand Prix weekend, and the team documented his exchange with the star.
Mercedes captioned the post: “And they say never meet your heroes…” as the fan was enraptured by meeting Hamilton.
Hamilton recorded a P6 finish at Monza, one place behind Mercedes team-mate George Russell in fifth.
The silver Arrows currently find themselves second in the constructors' championship, some 310 points behind runaway leaders Red Bull and 45 points clear of Ferrari in third.
