Lewis Hamilton has paid tribute to NBA legend Dwayne Wade, citing the retiring star as an inspiration for his own career.
Wade has called time on a 16-year career, which was predominantly spent with the Miami Heat and included three championships. His decision has prompted a wave of tributes across the sporting world.
Hamilton, who this year is looking to win his sixth Formula One world championship, added one of his own to Instagram on Saturday. The British driver posted a picture of him with Wade on a jet ski, joking that the NBA star had been nervous about the situation he found himself in.
