“That's what will make me proud. I've already seen that within my team and I'm already seeing that here.
Since Hamilton's arrival to the sport, he shares how many things have changed— especially the added diversity and opportunities for different kinds of individuals.
“One thing that I experienced, when we started coming out of lockdown, we started going back to the factory, I walked in and I saw the marketing department. A bigger team than I'd ever seen before, a more diverse than I'd ever seen.
“I was really, really shocked and it was really emotional for me, because most often you're the only person of color in the room and you always wonder why.”
Today, Hamilton is battling hard to win another Formula 1 championship with Mercedes, trailing Max Verstappen with just five races to go. However, the British star will still live out his glorious legacy despite this season's end result.
