'''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 (film)|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]]''.
