Whats next for Lewis?
I have become really interested in Formula 1 Since lewis came on to the scene. However, sense that he is up against some challenges being the only black man and given his age.
I want to discuss what these challenges are and will he gain the respect he deverves in Formula 1?
Lewis Carl Hamilton (born January 7, 1985 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire) is a British Formula One (F1) racing driver, currently racing for the McLaren team.
He finished second in the 2007 Formula One Championship, behind Kimi Räikkönen. Hamilton has set numerous F1 rookie records and is the first black driver to compete in Formula One.[1] After winning the British Formula Renault, European Formula Three and GP2 championship he became a McLaren F1 driver for 2007. When he was ten,[2] he approached Dennis at an awards ceremony and told him he would drive for McLaren one day; three years later, Hamilton was signed by McLaren and Mercedes-Benz to their Young Driver Support Programme, and ultimately, 12 years after this initial encounter, made his Formula One debut with the McLaren team.
