Lewis Hamilton is arguably one of the most influential and inspirational F1 drivers in the history of the sport. Even though currently he hasn’t been able to show what he’s capable of, the 7x champion has been relentless in his pursuit to get back to the summit of the sport. But what makes the 38-year-old stay in line with his ambitions in this torrid phase of his illustrious career? He’s been very vocal about how his family has played an important role in propelling him to success. And on the occasion of Mother’s Day, he took the opportunity to pay the perfect tribute.
He took to his social media account on Instagram to pay tribute to his mother and his stepmother. He captioned the post, “Growing up with a Mum and a step Mum who have always supported me is such a gift. No matter what happened in school or on the track, the amount of love and care never changed. Making them both proud is one of my top achievements, so I’ll do everything I can to make them proud today. Happy Mother’s Day to them and all amazing Mums out there.”
He’s been a staunch supporter of women’s rights, and hence, it wasn’t a surprise he’d recognize the impact his mothers have had on his blooming career. As soon as Hamilton paid this heartfelt tribute to both his mums, fans swarmed to his Instagram post to share their reactions and wishes.
