Hamilton has previously spoken of supporting both England and Brazil, reflecting the international loyalties that often surround major tournaments. He is not a regular football follower, admitting: “I'm more into MotoGP and NFL,” but he still plans to keep an eye on England’s progress.
His message is simple. Enjoy the song, but save the full celebration for the moment the trophy is secured. For an England team carrying decades of expectation, that distinction matters.
Lando Norris is expected to back England, although family connections also give him an affection for Belgium. The report says he knows “a good amount of the boys in England” and would welcome an England-Belgium final.
Kimi Antonelli faces a more complicated choice after Italy failed to qualify. The young Bologna supporter is reportedly undecided, with Brazil among the teams he enjoys watching and Lionel Messi still one of his favourite players.
Argentina’s Franco Colapinto sees the tournament through a different lens. Football is central to his country’s identity, and he is reportedly hoping Argentina can recreate the passion of their 2022 triumph, despite the challenge ahead.
Sergio Perez is also reportedly trying to attend a match, with Mexico co-hosting the tournament alongside the United States and Canada. His plans will depend on fitting a trip around Formula 1’s demanding European schedule.
The next England match will provide the first real test of Hamilton’s advice. Until then, the paddock’s message is clear: support can cross borders, but the celebrations should wait for the final whistle.
