Automobilist Happy Birthday, Lewis!

There are cases where the search for the perfect career path takes a lot of patience and time. It is definitely not the case with Lewis Hamilton. His love for racing started at an early age. At just 5 years old, he received his first remote-controlled car and after a year went on to finish second in the 1991 British Radio Car Association Championship. Just two years later, he was given a go-kart for Christmas and went on to win the British Junior Cadet Kart Championship at 10. We can all argue that he was destined for the world of motorsport.

Lewis Hamilton's talent was recognized early on and at just 13 years, he was offered a place in the McLaren driver development program making him the youngest driver to receive such a contract. Moving up through the division all the way to Formula 3 six years later, Lewis has managed to finish fifth in his first start at the Euro Championship. In 2006, at 21, it was announced that he would be joining McLaren for his Formula One debut, partnering with Fernando Alonso. Only two years later, Hamilton became the youngest driver to win a Formula One World Drivers’ Championship. And the rest is history…
