Gino Rosato, a former Ferrari employee, has high praise for Lewis Hamilton's father, Anthony Hamilton. According to him, Anthony is one of the nicest people in the world. This was evident, according to the Ferrari man, particularly in an interaction with Jos Verstappen.

Gino Rosato has previously spoken highly of Max Verstappen and Jos Verstappen. The Canadian claims to be a family friend of the Verstappens.

Why Anthony Hamilton is so nice, according to Rosato

In the Pitstop Podcast, Lewis Hamilton's father, Anthony Hamilton, was also discussed. Rosato had nothing but praise for him.

"If I would have to say the 10, 15 nicest people I've ever met, anyone who met Anthony Hamilton, he is one of the nicest human beings on the planet," said the former Ferrari employee.

A good example of Anthony Hamilton's kindness was, according to him, visible in Abu Dhabi in 2021.

"And you saw it, the class he had when Max won the controversial year that he won, who was the first guy to go shake hands to Max's father? Takes balls, huh?"

"Your son is destroyed, poor guy. He had won seven world champions. Max is the new world champion.

"What Lewis did, I mean, hats off," added Rosato referring to Hamilton's seven world titles

"It's years I know him and I've met him through parties and all this," Rosato continued about Anthony.

"You couldn't get a nicer guy and look I think that gesture goes to show just out of respect, father to father.

"I think it was more beautiful than the entire ending of it," concluded the Canadian.

Earlier this season, Anthony Hamilton came into the spotlight when he comforted a distraught Isack Hadjar, after the Racing Bulls driver crashed during his first Grand Prix in Australia during the formation lap.
