"I wanna travel through India, climb Everest": Lewis Hamilton shares dream adventure

F1 star Lewis Hamilton reveals his dream to travel through India and climb Mount Everest as he prepares for the 2026 Ferrari season.

"I wanna travel through India and then make my way up through the Himalayas. - Lewis Hamilton"

Melbourne, March 3

Ferrari Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton has revealed his dream of exploring India and venturing into the Himalayas, with ambitions to eventually climb Mount Everest.

Reacting to a question in a recent video shared by F1, Hamilton said, "Where I really want to go is... I wanna travel through India and then make my way up through the Himalayas. That's like my future dream for me, and then I'm gonna climb Mount Everest."

The seven-time Formula One World Drivers' Championship winner, who holds records for most wins, pole positions, and podium finishes, is gearing up for the 2026 season with Scuderia Ferrari. The season is set to kick off with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 8, following pre-season testing held in Bahrain from February 11 to 20.

Hamilton's switch to Ferrari in 2025 ended his 12-year stint with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, making it one of the most high-profile moves in Formula 1 history. Partnering with Charles Leclerc, Hamilton's debut season in the scarlet car proved challenging.

The British driver finished sixth in the championship standings, 86 points behind Leclerc, and failed to secure a Grand Prix podium for the first time in his career. Despite a high-point victory in China, the season was marred by car struggles and multiple on-track incidents.

In the 2025 season, McLaren's Lando Norris clinched his maiden Formula 1 World Championship ahead of Red Bull driver Max Verstappen.

Across 24 races, three drivers, Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri, pushed each other to their limits, delivering a season that will be remembered for a long time. However, Norris collected 18 podiums and rarely finished outside the top five to win the title.

In the 2025 season, McLaren secured their 10th Constructors' Championship, marking their second consecutive title. They achieved this by winning six out of the 24 Grand Prix, including a decisive victory at the Singapore Grand Prix, where Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri led the team to victory.

Hamilton's move to Ferrari had generated immense anticipation among fans and analysts, but Hamilton faced a steep learning curve adapting to his new team. Now, with the 2026 season around the corner, the racing star is focused on both reclaiming his competitive edge on the track and fulfilling personal dreams off it.

It's wonderful to see global icons like Hamilton express such genuine interest in India's natural beauty. The Himalayas are a treasure. Hope his travels inspire more international tourists to explore beyond the usual spots.

First focus on getting that Ferrari to the podium, Lewis! 😄 Jokes aside, Everest is no joke. Many Indian climbers have made the nation proud there. It requires immense preparation. Maybe he can collaborate with an Indian mountaineering group for guidance.

Respectfully, I feel the article spends too much on his F1 struggles and not enough on his India dream. That's the interesting part! Traveling through India is an adventure in itself—the chaos, the colors, the kindness. He should do a proper road trip.

Amazing! He should definitely visit Ladakh and Sikkim. The landscapes are breathtaking and the Buddhist monasteries add such peace. It's a different world from the speed of F1. Wishing him success in both his adventures!

As an F1 fan, I hope he finds his mojo back with Ferrari. The 2025 season was tough to watch for a Hamilton supporter. Maybe a soul-searching trip to the Himalayas is exactly what he needs to reset. The mountains have a way of putting things in perspective.
