He narrated, “So I did (have a superstition), when I was younger. I think I must’ve been 10 or 11, and my brother gave me this conker. And it was my lucky conker. So I put it in my suit. And I don’t know what happened to the damn thing. Came out my leg, trouser leg or something, I lost this conker.”

And I remember I got in the car, I was in Germany, And I’m about to start the race, and my helmet wasn’t done up. So I’ve missed one of those elements of these steps that I had made crucial to getting the job done. And I remember I crashed several seconds later.”

“And now, I’m like Tom, I don’t have any of those things,” Hamilton said, smiling.
