Lewis Hamilton is a seven-time Formula One World Champion, one of Formula 1’s most successful drivers of all time, and a global superstar. Being competitive and fighting hard on the track is one thing, but his kindness and desire to help those in need differentiate him from the rest.
He’s managed to spread kindness once again. Despite going through a tough start in 2022, Hamilton and Mercedes took time out to deliver some Mercedes merchandise to a young fan, Charlie. He is a die-hard Lewis Hamilton fan by the looks of it and his mother appreciated the gesture by the Silver Arrows on Twitter.

On the track, Mercedes’ start has been dismal. The W-13 has suffered porpoising issues and is struggling to match the pace of Red Bull and Ferrari. On Saturday, Hamilton finished P14 in the sprint race and as a result, he admitted the hopes of the championship are slipping away.
He said, “We’re obviously not fighting for this championship. But we’re fighting to understand the car and improve and progress through the year. That’s all we can hope for right now.”
