Sir Lewis Hamilton

On December 15, 2021, Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time Formula 1 champion, was knighted. The most successful driver in the history of the "queen of motorsport" is now SIR LEWIS HAMILTON. Michael Sawyer not only traced the milestones of the great champion's biography but also wrote a detailed portrait of a driver who has become more than just an athlete — a hero to millions and a role model, as well as a businessman and a socialite. The author managed to penetrate behind the mask of Lewis Hamilton's public image and see the man with his own worries and aspirations. In this book, motorsport fans can view familiar episodes of Hamilton's career from a new angle: the challenging path to racing, the battle with Fernando Alonso at McLaren and Nico Rosberg at Mercedes, complicated relations with his father, the ill-fated race in Abu Dhabi and the lost title to Max Verstappen which could have been his eighth, and, of course, the struggle against prejudice. Lewis Hamilton's career is studied almost under a microscope. Unlike numerous biographies, Michael Sawyer offers a perspective on the seven-time champion not just as a driver, but as a cultural icon for millions of fans around the world — through the eyes of those whose agenda Lewis seeks to promote.
