His arrival in 2007 to the pinnacle of motorsport caused controversy . The Formula 1 opened its doors to the first driver of color, who demonstrated his cunning and good hands on the wheel. In 2008 it seemed that nothing and no one would stop Hamilton in their struggle to be the champion of F1. Few know that behind confident that Lewis Hamilton passes driving his McLaren Mercedes car is a shy man who during his childhood, in addition to focusing on racing karting, on the recommendation of his father had to take karate classes to face ridicule from their classmates.
That child was one of the strongest candidates to take the crown of Formula 1, to go
in 2007 also failed, while his McLaren Mercedes team, was sanctioned by the FIA \u200b\u200b due to the espionage case against Ferrari . All this and a bad last race, despite having come up with points clear at the end prevented that made history and became the first rookie in the championship. With Hamilton applies the phrase of Friedrich Nietzsche's "or you love it or hate it." Prior to his debut in F1 and had earned himself the recognition of Michael Schumacher, and once in the serial, a legendary figure as Niki Lauda, \u200b\u200bthree times world champion, is dedicated her praise for him, because, in his view , no pilot (including Schummi) had achieved what Lewis in his first year.
But just as there are those who recognized, public personalities aut world
omovilismo have criticized his success and style of driving in the track to the extent considered "dirty", as Jacques Villeneuve has long claimed: "It is extremely fast, worse still make many mistakes and not accept them. Then do not learn from them. "True or not, Hamilton is making history in the clues, and following the departure of Schumacher idol, have maintained their passion for motorsport. Unbreakable
Son of Anthony Hamilton (from a family in the fifties immigrated to Britain from the Caribbean island of Grenada) and Carmen Lerbalestier woman English White, Lewis received an education based on social values \u200b\u200band the Catholic religion went to church every week and has always viewed his family as his main support, and his brother Nicholas - who suffers from cerebral palsy - your best friend.
After eight years of age, Lewis began his walk in motor sport in the Kanti
smo - he won more national championships and European level. Later, in adolescence, he went to Formula Renault, where jump to Formula 3 Euroseries and GP2 in 2006 - in which he competed with Nelson Piquet Jr., who just this year debuted in F1 with Renault - Achieving in each set records, climbing to the podium and grab championships. One of the highlights of his career, worthy of a movie was when provided only 10 years old, Lewis had his first encounter with Ron Dennis, the big boss of the McLaren team, as part of delivery Award of British motorsport. The boy asked for his autograph and asked Dennis if he would ever run for him. Lewis joined the firm of Dennis got the phone and a note saying "Call me in nine years." But that moment never came, for before the deadline, it was Ron himself who sought and from then they took shelter in the program promises to McLaren. With the passage of time was the harvest of many triumphs in serials mentioned above, and once Juan Pablo Montoya left the team to move to NASCAR, the opportunities for Hamilton to appear on the Formula 1 increased.
Talent Factory.
The official debut of Lewis Hamilton at McLaren Mercedes in F1 was the March 18, 2007 during the Grand Prix of Australia, where he obtained the third position. He joined the "second" in the team and honor the site of what was then the English Fernando Alonso, champion of the serial, who never had a good relationship.
After the departure of Alonso, Lewis became the first driver to the end of the 2008 championship shared credits with Heikki Kovalainen. The UK has secured its place with the team until the end of the 2012 season.
Some people criticize the formation of Hamilton as a racing driver. The cover of McLaren in his teens brought the fulfillment of two thousand hours of training on the simulator developed exclusively by the team of engineers from McLaren Technical Center in Wonking, England, considered the most advanced in the world and therefore, the most expensive.
is why many say that Hamilton is a "pilot probe"
because thanks to the simulator imitates all tracks where we run the F1 every year, could anticipate and gain circuits that had never competed. But preparation does not end there, as well as spending several hours a day to workout in the gym to strengthen the muscles of the neck and arms, and the practice of swimming, his routine includes the support of a PhD in neuroscience for better mental performance and teaching the brain to observe certain behaviors and consequences of an action on the track.
Lewis is prepared physically and mentally for each race. Therefore it is said that is anticipated; has memorized every circuit and movements can take place or not. He even said that his ear was raised with classical music to detect the entry of each of the tools, knowledge, transferred to the motor behavior, we can recognize any abnormality. Human
first.
At 23, Lewis admits hate to tell you which is the Tiger Woods of F1 and asked about his new place of residence, Switzerland. As an ordinary young man spends his free time playing guitar, reading, attending movies, practic
to sports and of course enjoy being with friends and family. His musical tastes range from hip-hop, R & B, reggae, and funky house, and some of their favorite artists are Bob Marley, Sean Paul, UB40, and Beenie Man, although I have no doubt that the group Pussy Cat Dolls, which is part of his girlfriend Aloha Nicole Scherzinger, is what more you listen.
In a short time has become a celebrity. His image is
used by firms re renowned for their advertising campaigns, and before long to publish his autobiography. But not everything has been has been reflectors. He is currently involved in altruistic actions through the Lewis Hamilton Foundation, dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of sick children, disabled support, and help hundreds of children and teenagers out of poverty, which speaks well of English, seeking his first title in the F1.
