On December 15, 2021, Lewis Hamilton, seven-time Formula 1 champion, was knighted. The most successful driver in the history of the "Queen of Motorsports" is now Sir Lewis Hamilton.
Michael Sawyer didn't simply recount the milestones of the great champion's life, but wrote a detailed portrait of a driver who became more than just an athlete—a hero to millions and a role model, as well as a businessman and a gossip columnist. The author managed to penetrate Lewis Hamilton's public persona and reveal the man with his own concerns and aspirations.
This book offers motorsport fans a fresh perspective on familiar episodes of Hamilton's career: his difficult path to racing, his battles with Fernando Alonso at McLaren and Nico Rosberg at Mercedes, his complex relationship with his father, the ill-fated race in Abu Dhabi, his loss to Max Verstappen for what could have been his eighth title, and, of course, his struggle with prejudice.
Lewis Hamilton's career is scrutinized almost under a microscope. Unlike numerous biographies, Michael Sawyer offers a look at the seven-time champion not just as a racing driver, but as a cultural icon for millions of fans worldwide—through the eyes of those whose agenda Lewis strives to promote.
