Profile

Our first inductee into the Chalenj! Hall of Fame, Lewis Hamilton, is the youngest Formula 1 World Champion in the sport’s history.

Lewis comes from a normal family and started driving go-karts aged 8. His talent and dedication soon saw him rocket through the junior ranks, and in 2007 he graduated to Formula 1 with the McClaren race team.

Having made a record-breaking start to his first season Hamilton ultimately lost the title on the final day.

And it’s the resolve he showed in picking himself up to win the title in his next season that earns him his Hall of Fame place. Anyone who witnessed the overtaking manoeuver he made on the penultimate corner of the final race will never forget it.

So well done, Lewis. Here’s to being the best you can be!
