A giant leap for Hamilton the thrill-seeker
As if his gripping duel with Max Verstappen in the F1 world championship wasn't enough to excite his senses, a daring Lewis Hamilton indulged in a bout of skydiving for good measure last week.
The seven-time world champion who was overhauled by Verstappen in the championship's standings following the Red Bull charger's recent win in Monaco, threw himself out of a plane at 10,000 feet and went on to execute a few controlled and skilled maneuvers.
"I’ve been learning to sky dive over the past couple years," Hamilton wrote on Instagram with a video to boot.

"After this I went to spend time in the wind tunnel to practice. I’ll post that next to show you my progression."
