I did see some of the highlights and it was quite emotional to watch just knowing his journey, where he started and the things he has gone through,” Hamilton told Sky Sports News at the Azerbaijan GP.
To come back after so many years is just proof about never giving up on your dreams.
And Hamilton reckons Tiger Woods: The movie’ is now an inevitability.
I had the pleasure of meeting him last year at Wimbledon for the first time and I’d always wanted to meet him,” added Hamilton.
Before that he had sent me a flag from one of the holes when we were both with one of our sponsors. I was really proud to see him up there just showing everyone that you should never give up, keep pushing and keep believing in yourself.
It’s now time for a movie – it’s a perfect movie! So I look forward to seeing it.
Hamilton and Woods are both regarded as athletes who transcend their own sport.
According to Forbes magazine, the pair are among the top-20 highest-paid athletes in the world, while they are also each chasing their respective sport’s most prestigious record.
Five-time champion Hamilton is two world titles behind Michael Schumacher’s seven in F1, while Woods is now three adrift of Jack Nicklaus’ major haul of 18.
