F1 driver Lewis Hamilton is the best thing to happen to British motor sport since Damon Hill over a decade ago. Lewis Hamilton is set to become the next world superstar figure in F1 racing and will surely cross into all sporting arenas. The future stature of Lewis Hamilton, the first black racing driver to make it to the very top, and his potential world wide recognition has been compared to that of Tiger Woods – just look at the impact Tiger Woods has had on not only the world of golf but also the worldwide sporting sphere beyond golf.

From an early age, Lewis Hamilton showed great promise as a motor racing driver. He started out in kart racing aged 8 and was signed up to the McLaren young drivers programme at the age of 13. In his early racing career Lewis Hamilton won a string of titles, with comprehensive victories in the European F3 and World GP2 championships.

Lewis is a friendly, likeable, driver who really has his head screwed on right. He has shown with his successes through the early years of his career that he is a born winner and can withstand the toughest of circumstances both on and off the circuit, maintaining a calm demeanour and not losing his focus.

Lewis Hamilton’s driving style was epitomised during his rookie year in the GP2 series – the step below F1, when he first came to the attention of the wider motor racing world. Lewis has always shown consistent speed, but he has developed into a gritty, courageous driver with a smooth driving style and has drawn comparisons to racing drivers from a bygone era. Lewis Hamilton has a ruthless winning mentality which, when combined with his courage and breathtaking speed makes him a formidable racer and it is little surprise that he has made such an impact on the F1 racing scene in his rookie season.

Before it was revealed that Lewis Hamilton would join Formula 1 in 2007 as team mate to Fernando Alonso, who has won two world championships, F1 commentators were split as to whether his temperament would be able to withstand the pressure of being hailed as the best young driver in F1. Up to now Lewis Hamilton is confounding all the critics, and has the necessary strength of character to handle the pressure that comes with success and the fact he is a pioneering black driver in F1 racing.
