Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has been an Arsenal supporter since childhood. His passion for the North London club began when he was around five or six years old, largely thanks to his older sister Sam, who jokingly “forced” him to support the Gunners and even threatened him if he ever showed sympathy for Tottenham or Manchester United.
Lewis Hamilton has shared this family anecdote on several occasions over the years, confirming a deep-rooted loyalty that began in Stevenage. Despite having relatives who supported Chelsea and occasional professional interest in other football clubs, the Ferrari driver has always made it clear that Arsenal remains his team. He has also taken part in club-related events over the years, including charity matches and five-a-side games alongside former Arsenal players.
After Arsenal secured the Premier League title, Lewis Hamilton publicly celebrated the achievement on Instagram with visible excitement, sharing posts and stories featuring the message: “Come On You Gunners.”
Arsenal’s return to Premier League success
Arsenal won the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years, ending the long drought that had stretched back to Arsène Wenger’s legendary Invincibles season in 2003–04.
The title was mathematically secured with one match to spare after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, a result that left the Gunners unreachable with a four-point advantage at the top of the table.
The day before, Mikel Arteta’s side had defeated already-relegated Burnley 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium thanks to a headed goal from Kai Havertz. The 2025/26 campaign was defined by extraordinary defensive consistency, with Arsenal boasting one of the best defensive records in the league after conceding just 26 goals, alongside the kind of sustained consistency required to finally withstand Manchester City’s pressure after three consecutive runner-up finishes.
This marks Arsenal’s fourth Premier League title and the first under Mikel Arteta, while also representing the club’s 14th English league championship overall. Arsenal will now head into the final day against Crystal Palace already crowned champions, with celebrations already erupting among players, staff, and supporters across North London.
What it means for Lewis Hamilton
For Lewis Hamilton, a lifelong Arsenal supporter, this triumph represents the emotional payoff for decades of loyalty and unwavering support. The Ferrari driver experienced the historic moment with obvious emotion, using his social media channels to join the worldwide celebrations among Arsenal supporters.

His public celebration also strengthens the growing crossover between Formula 1 and the Premier League, connecting fans across two of the world’s most globally followed sports.
