LEWIS HAMILTON has revealed he had a “terrifying” encounter with a SHARK ahead of the Australian Grand Prix. However, he did not bargain on being joined by a shark while surfing in his “new favourite place”. Hamilton told reporters: “I was down in Byron Bay which was stunning, like my new favourite place to go. “And I can’t wait to go again because I love surfing so I went out surfing. It is not the first time Hamilton has spoken about sharks, previously admitting his fear of them. If a shark comes up to you, punch it in the face.’.
