Jamaican sprinter-turned-bobsledder Tyquendo Tracey has said Lewis Hamilton would do “very well” if he swapped Formula 1 tracks for the ice of the Winter Olympics.
Tracey is competing at the Milan-Cortina Games with the Jamaican four-man bobsleigh team, having previously represented his country as a sprinter at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo five years ago
He is aiming to follow in the footsteps of the crew who rose to fame at the 1988 Winter Olympics, inspiring the 1993 Disney film “Cool Runnings” — which Hamilton says is his favourite movie.
While seven-time F1 champion Hamilton, 41, remains focused on racing for Ferrari rather than sliding down an icy track for now, Tracey believes Hamilton’s skillset would translate well to bobsleigh.
