The video of an 11-year-old Hamilton talking about his ambition is fascinating, to say the least. The interviewer, who looks similar to Hamilton’s age, asked how long he has been practicing in Cadet karting.
“How long have been doing practice? I don’t do it as often anymore. Unless I need to run in my engines and that’s really it. Practice on the race days as well. How long have been racing in cadet? Three and a half years,” said Hamilton before winning the 1996 Cadet Karting.

He has won seven world championships and is one of the best drivers to grace the sport. I’m pretty sure an 11-year-old Hamilton will be over the moon if he knew about his current achievements.
On to the 2022 season, the Mercedes driver has struggled so far. He is currently 5th in the driver’s standings and is already 43 points behind the runaway leader Charles Leclerc. However, Mercedes and Hamilton himself have shown they can bounce back strongly. Last season, Red Bull comfortably led the standings only for Hamilton to come back strongly and almost snatch the title away from the Dutchman.
