Synopsis

An inspiring biography of Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton's epic rise to glory, from his racing career and beyond.

Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton’s journey from remote-controlled car hobbyist to seven-time world champion, knight of the realm, and global superstar is the stuff of sporting legend. This authoritative biography follows Hamilton’s path from his early days karting on local tracks to the glitz and pressure of the Formula One circuit. Along the way, we witness Hamilton’s single-minded determination to reach the top, even as he challenged racial barriers and opposition at every turn. His triumph over adversity is all the more inspiring, given Hamilton’s pioneering role in making motorsports accessible to marginalized communities. Beyond his unparalleled on-track exploits—leveling the record books held by the legendary Michael Schumacher—Hamilton has used his platform to advocate for social justice, environmental sustainability, and diversity.

Hamilton has leveraged his fame to push Formula One and global sports to be a force for positive influence while inspiring a new generation of athletes and artists to pursue their dreams. As Hamilton nears the twilight of his racing career, this thoroughly researched book examines his lasting legacy. His impact extends far beyond just his championship trophies. Sir Lewis culminates with Hamilton’s potential final act—chasing a record-setting 8th world title at the wheel of the iconic Ferrari team, the ultimate validation of his greatness.

I read this for 12 hours straight! In one night, I learned an entire sport with enough detail to grasp the implications of every qualifier, tire choice and team strategy. I was annotating the margins like a grad student/conspiracy nut. My previous F1 knowledge could be summarized as— Carlando reels (......more

Any insight into F1 is fun for me! Thank you for writing this book. Growing up in England, F1 is a sport you are made aware of. If you have any interest in sport or culture you will know the drivers, especially the British drivers. Even with this, I learnt some stuff. America is catching up, but mos......more
