The latest to do so is Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton. Ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, the Briton took to social media to express his "appreciation and gratitude" for Williams, calling her the greatest of all time. "Taking a moment before the race today to show my appreciation and gratitude to the greatest of all time, Serena Williams. We will never see another Serena. She's one of a kind. She came through like a wrecking ball and has been so spectacular to witness. She has such fierceness, power, and strength in both body and mind. To be so bold, Black, brave and, above all, a kind and caring human being is beautiful," he said. TIME@TIMEIt wasn’t just women who were taking cues from the Williams sisters.
