      @@LewisDMAs opposed to Lance Stroll who had his daddy buy an F3 team so he could win a championship. They were putting F1 parts from the Wilson F1 team on his F3 car and were caught doing it. Then his dad gave Aston Martin $100,000,000 so that they would hire Lance.
      Hamilton earned his way into F1, Stroll bought his way in.

      Like the father said at one point, even being black paid a lot to keep him on tracks. I wonder if Lewis was white if he still ended in F1. His Talent is amazing, but would he still make it if he was white? Interesting.

Its like he knows its possible. But byet in reality, how could he have known this and spoken with that quiet confidence? He is so not insecure nor is he intimidated at all and the most amazing thing is, is that he(I assume) has ZERO idea of just how brilliant you need to be or how tough as hell it is. I'm knocked out. In his innocence he boldly declares his biggest wish. And then, this little brother achieves his dream TO THE MAX! I still need time to fully understand this. His attitude is perfect. He aint no brat. Praise the Lord!

    Having grown up in Stevenage, before moving on. This has always been a dream come true. I was and have been a Formula One nut, well until 2020 Abu Dhabi. I couldn’t imagine someone from Stevenage becoming an F1 legend. Dreams do come true.

    His dad was an IT contractor working for IBM back then and he worked for a while in my company on secondment. He was a really nice guy, hard working but every minute of his spare time was spent on helping Lewis achieve his dream, I think he'd probably agree it was time and money well spent! ha ha!! Good on the lads.

      @@4879daniel Oh sod off. He sold his jet in 2019 and loopholes are there to incentivize the smart people to use them. It's entirely legal, but you don't care about facts, you have an agenda against Lewis. He's a top 5000 tax payer in the U.K. even though he doesn't need to be - he lives in Monaco and so technically he shouldn't pay taxes to the U.K. anymore. But he still does and not only that, but also donates £20 million a year to good causes such as education and sustainability initiatives/project! He deserves respect, not ignorant insults.

    Nobody in F1 cared about Lewis’ skin colour apart from the media, nor do they now. Ron Dennis didn’t put him on his books because he was black, he did it because he knows talent when he sees it. And how right he was. Lewis’ dad did what a lot of the other karting dads did…worked his arse off to give his boy the best chance in life.
