Lewis Hamilton



Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton is a British racing driver currently competing in Formula One for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. A six-time Formula One World Champion, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport, and considered by some to be the greatest of all time, and is also regarded as one of the most influential people in the world, having been credited for furthering Formula One's reach outside of racing circles through his high-profile lifestyle, social activism and careers in music and fashion, all despite the racism he faced due to his Black British heritage (Hamilton's father, Anthony, is Black British, while his mother, Carmen, is White British, making him mixed-race; Hamilton self-identifies as Black.) Hamilton's Black heritage made him the first and so far only black driver to race in the sport as of 2020.

Besides his racing career, he has also dabbled into music and fashion, having provided guest vocals in the 2018 Christina Aguilera song "Pipe" under the pseudonym "XNDA", as well as launching a clothing line with Tommy Hilfiger. He also appeared in Cars and Cars 2, Zoolander 2, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and starred alongside former McLaren teammate Jenson Button as fictionalised versions of themselves in the animated series Tooned.

 * The Ace: Hamilton's six World Championship titles is the second-most of all time, while he holds the records for the most wins (92), career points (3687), pole positions (97), podium finishes (161), points finishes (225), and championship points in a season (413).
 * As Himself: Most of his film appearances count as this.
 * Badass Driver: To regard Hamilton as one of the fastest qualifiers is just scratching the surface.
 * Nice Guy
 * Renaissance Man: Not only is Hamilton well-regarded as one of the greatest in the sport, he also moonlighted as a recording artist and dabbled into fashion and acting, which was cited as how Hamilton appealed to those outside the Formula One fanbase.
 * Same Face, Different Name: He was featured in the 2018 Christina Aguilera song "Pipe" under the pseudonym "XNDA". When asked as to why he sang under an assumed name, he cited anxiety and insecurities for not revealing himself to be the guest singer until he announced it on an Instagram post in 2020, likely as he feared that he would not be as well-received as a recording artist as he is as a racing driver.
 * Token Minority: Hamilton is the first and so far only Black Formula One driver as of 2024.
