Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton (Born 7 January 1985) is a British former racing driver. A six-time Formula 1 World Champion, one with McLaren in 2008 and six with Mercedes from 2014-2015 and 2017-2019, Hamilton stayed with the German manufacturer for the first ever season of the all-new then Formula Earth series. On the first ever season of the series, in 2020, Hamilton beat his teammate Valtteri Bottas for the first ever driver title of the series, becoming the inaugural champion of Formula Earth. However, in the next season in 2021, with the sudden rise of McLaren and Hamilton's aging, then 37, he was cut adrift from the title battle, finishing 6th, while Bottas won his first ever Formula Earth title. Hamilton then announced that he would retire from motorsport, aged 37, ending one of the biggest careers in Formula 1 and Formula Earth history.

Hamilton is considered to be one of the best drivers in the history of motorsport as a whole, following his success in the series, and made Formula 1 and Formula Earth one of the more appealing sports to watch thanks to his speed, attitude and high-profile lifestyle. However, said lifestyle led to some critisicm throughout his career, and he has also been a victim of racial comments, due to being the first ever black Formula 1/Earth driver. Nevertheless, he has left a serious mark on the series's history as one of its best drivers and the best British driver of all time.
