WATCH: Viral 30 Year Old Video Featuring Lewis Hamilton Resurfaces

Statistically speaking, Lewis Hamilton is the best driver to ever be on the Formula 1 grid. He has broken almost every standing F1 record! It’s easy to chalk most of it as “born talent” but talent doesn’t work unless you do. And though Lewis is a talented and hard-working individual, it seems he has been one from a very young age. A video found in a recent tweet shows us what kind of childhood Lewis has had and you can see his dedication even at a young age.

Lewis Hamilton was born a racer

Lewis has seven world championship titles to his name so far. Six with Mercedes and one with Mclaren in his early Formula 1 days which, made him the youngest world champion at that time. Becoming the youngest world champion in a competitive sport like Formula 1 is difficult.

An individual has to be disciplined and dedicated to excel at any sport from a young age. And the tweet showcasing Lewis shows you exactly the dedication one needs to become a world champion.

In this video, Lewis was just seven years old and driving a remote-controlled car but the intensity with which he’s doing it is commendable. And to no one’s surprise, he won the race! One look at the video and you can tell Lewis has always been competitive.

He was already competing in championships at seven years of age. While the hunger to win was a persistent factor in Lewis’s life, he did not let that die and continued to build on that every year.

With already seven world championships to his name, he missed out on the eight with just one lap to go. The last race of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix would be one to forget for Lewis. But after seeing the kid in the video, we can all agree that nothing can stop him from trying to get his hands on the eighth world championship trophy.

Lewis and his humble beginnings

Probably mentioned countless times now, but Lewis comes from a humble background. Lewis’s father worked four jobs to support his karting. In addition, Anthony Hamilton had to work on Lewis’s kart after work in the garage.
