Lewis Hamilton has competed in F1 for more than 16 years and is aiming for his 8th World Championship in 2024, a Formula 1 record.

Lewis Hamilton is expected to win his 8th title to surpass F1 legend Michael Schumacher’s record of 7 Formula 1 World Championships that he holds this year. The British racer admitted that when he was young, he never thought he could go as far as he is today and achieve record achievements.

To achieve this unexpected glory, Lewis Hamilton analyzed: “The important thing is to always pursue your dreams. Even though sometimes this seems impossible, you must continue to pursue. ” When I was young, my dream of becoming an F1 racer seemed impossible.”

Lewis Hamilton has loved racing since childhood

Lewis Hamilton affirmed that his father played an important role in helping his son always strive towards his dream: “I am very happy because my father always encouraged me to pursue my dream and never give up.”

Lewis Hamilton now appreciates his father’s help even more because the journey to becoming an F1 racer is really long and tiring, easily leading to thoughts of giving up. However, the Mercedes star never let himself be swayed: “I never thought about giving up. I don’t think so. Of course there were extremely difficult times.”

Lewis Hamilton’s strong will was probably because he came from a not-so-rich family. There were times when his parents didn’t even have enough money to let him go driving. “There were days when I came home from school and was so excited to go out for a drive, my dad told me that we didn’t have money for me to go out this week.” – Lewis Hamilton recalls the disappointments of his childhood.
