About the Book



"A DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY OF THE GREATEST FORMULA ONE DRIVER OF ALL TIME. At the pinnacle of motorsports, a humble young man from Stevenage, England, has risen to become the greatest Formula One driver of all time. Lewis Hamilton's journey from remote-controlled car hobbyist to seven-time world champion, knight of the realm, and global superstar is the stuff of sporting legend. This authoritative biography follows Hamilton's path from his early days karting on local tracks to the glitz and pressure of the Formula One circuit. Along the way, we witness Hamilton's single-minded determination to reach the top, even as he challenged racial barriers and opposition at every turn. His triumph over adversity is all the more inspiring given Hamilton's pioneering role in making motorsports accessible to marginalized communities. Beyond his unparalleled on-track exploits-leveling the record books held by the legendary Michael Schumacher-Hamilton has used his platform to advocate for social justice, environmental sustainability, and diversity. He has become a worldwide tastemaker of art, fashion, and lifestyle, while also emerging as a voice of moral clarity. Hamilton has leveraged his fame to push Formula One and global sports to be a force for positive influence while inspiring a new generation of athletes and artists to pursue their dreams. As Hamilton nears the twilight of his racing career, this thoroughly researched book examines his lasting legacy. His impact extends far beyond just his championship trophies. Sir Lewis culminates with Hamilton's potential final act-chasing a record-setting 8th world title at the wheel of the iconic Ferrari team, the ultimate validation of his greatness"--



Book Synopsis



A DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY OF THE GREATEST FORMULA ONE DRIVER OF ALL TIME.

At the pinnacle of motorsports, a humble young man from Stevenage, England, has risen to become the greatest Formula One driver of all time. Lewis Hamilton's journey from remote-controlled car hobbyist to seven-time world champion, knight of the realm, and global superstar is the stuff of sporting legend.

This authoritative biography follows Hamilton's path from his early days karting on local tracks to the glitz and pressure of the Formula One circuit. Along the way, we witness Hamilton's single-minded determination to reach the top, even as he challenged racial barriers and opposition at every turn. His triumph over adversity is all the more inspiring given Hamilton's pioneering role in making motorsports accessible to marginalized communities.

Beyond his unparalleled on-track exploits--leveling the record books held by the legendary Michael Schumacher--Hamilton has used his platform to advocate for social justice, environmental sustainability, and diversity. He has become a worldwide tastemaker of art, fashion, and lifestyle, while also emerging as a voice of moral clarity. Hamilton has leveraged his fame to push Formula One and global sports to be a force for positive influence while inspiring a new generation of athletes and artists to pursue their dreams.

As Hamilton nears the twilight of his racing career, this thoroughly researched book examines his lasting legacy. His impact extends far beyond just his championship trophies. Sir Lewis culminates with Hamilton at the wheel of the iconic Ferrari Team, where he continues to chase world titles and set new standards, further validating his greatness.



Review Quotes




"Sawyer's research allows for vivid details and anecdotes. . . . [He] has written a work that is not only a career-spanning hagiography of a racecar driver, but also serves as a testament to Hamilton's work away from the sport, work that has ultimately defined the man as well as his legacy."--Pittsburgh Post Gazette

"Combining an informative portrait of Hamilton's life with discussions of the changes occurring
inside sports and the emergence of the athlete-activist, Sawyer offers an exemplary biography of a trailblazer, altruist, and modern global icon."--Booklist
