Hamilton: Zero chance I'll do a shoey - it's disgusting!

Lewis Hamilton s꧂ays there is "no racing achievemen🥂t" that will make him consider doing a shoey this season.

Daniel Ricciardo was the shoey king last season in Formula One, introducing the craze into the sport and doing his first shoey - drinking champagne from one of his race boots - after he 🎶finished runner-up in the German Grand Prix at the end of July, mirroring wha♋t Jack Miller had done in MotoGP after winning at Assen the month before.

Ricciardo then managed to get ex-F1 driver and podium interviewer Mark Webber in on the act in Belgium, be⛦fore roping in Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen and Nico Rosberg after he won in Malaysia. Rosberg also subsequently did a shoey after winning the World title in Abu Dhabi as well.

Hamilton, however, has ruled out doing one himself in F1 2017, describing it as "disgusting" during a Facebook Q&A with sponsor .

"There is no racing achieveꦬment [that will get me to do a shoey]. That is disgusting. It is kinda of cool that he [Ricciardo] has got his own little thing and I admire him for having his own little thing. It is totally cool if he wants to drink ✱the sweat off his own foot, but I definitely don't [want to]," Hamilton said.

"I wouldn't even drink the sweat from my own shoe. You don't unders🌠tand... We have got these shoes and it is so hot down by our feet - all the hydraulic fluids are going down there and they are running at 300 degrees or something crazy. 🍌It is bleeding hot. Your feet are drenched afterwards.
