Interlagos Circuit, Sao Paulo. A place where Lewis Hamilton made history during the 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix. Race etched in Formula 1 history as one of the most remarkable moments in his illustrious career. After an initial disqualification to the back of the grid, Lewis managed to climb up to P5 during the Sprint upon receiving yet another penalty for an engine part replacement, which saw him fall back five places to P10 for the start of the Grand Prix. But what followed was nothing short of extraordinary. Teaming up with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, we are immortalising Hamilton's incredible journey from last place to first over the Grand Prix weekend in our new Fine Art Print!
COMMEMORATING HIS IDOL
Despite the disqualification and seemingly insurmountable odds, both Lewis and the Mercedes team held onto their determination. In Lewis' own words, it was "probably the most special race" of his career. The more remarkable was the moment for Hamilton as he waved the flag after the race, paying homage to the legendary Ayrton Senna, his lifelong idol. The story of overcoming adversity and achieving victory against all odds is a testament to Hamilton's greatness as a driver.
THE STORY BEHIND THE FLAG
The illustrious moment depicted in the Fine Art Print bears a deeper backstory than first meets the eye. The flag carried by Lewis was originally meant for a different driver, reserved by a die-hard fan in the stands. However, due to Hamilton ultimately taking the crown, one of the stewards grabbed the flag and ran to Lewis after seeing him signalling for the flag - a move that is still forbidden for multiple reasons today. Yet, none of it stopped Lewis from honouring his icon and the Brazilian people.
BRAZILIAN SPIRIT
Hamilton's wave of the flag, as depicted in the Fine Art Print, was not just a victory celebration but a gesture that resonated deeply with Brazil and racing fans worldwide. Holding the flag was Hamilton's way of acknowledging the support and appreciation of Brazilian fans and paying tribute to the legendary Ayrton Senna. Our newest Fine Art Print captures this symbolic moment, allowing you to own a piece of this historic race that had forever gone down in the Formula 1 history books. It's a symbol of unity and respect, as Hamilton, though not Brazilian, embraced the spirit of the nation.
