When you ask a non-Formula One fan what names they know from the sport, there’s a good chance they’ll name Lewis Hamilton. The man has it all. F1 titles, check. A suave personality, check. Fame, check. But how does the man himself want to be remembered when curtains close on his career?

Race-win centurion Lewis Hamilton is a beast on the track. He has arguably had the most dominant career in the history of Formula One so far. With 7 driver titles under his belt, he is tied with the legend Michael Schumacher for most titles. But what kind of legacy does he wish to leave behind?

How does Lewis Hamilton want to be remembered?

Lewis is quite a fashion enthusiast. He wears the most eye-catching and awe-inspiring outfits in the Formula One paddock. Keeping up with the latest trends, he grooms accordingly. Therefore, it didn’t come as a surprise when he was brought in as the brand ambassador for L’Oréal Men in 2016.

In the same year, he gave an interview to ‘Man for Himself’, where they discussed his hairstyles, his grooming routine, and at last, how he wants to be remembered.

On this question, Lewis answered, “When people ask me that, I say I don’t want to be remembered. It means I’m no longer around.” He said that he felt blessed for having the ability to do what he does.

“I ultimately want to be remembered for being an out-and-out racer; just driving at the seat of my pants and doing it the right way and winning for the right reasons. The right values,” he continued.
