Even as a child he was very calm and well spoken. His parents raised him very well indeed.
Daniel Pitham he was with his mother at first, maybe until the age of 12. When he moved with his father his stepmother was actively involved in his upbringing. I think in this video he even said he went home and told his mom and dad.
@@eugeniamcmanus5336 yeah sometimes life happens but you can tell he felt supported by both
and today, a complete hypocritical ponce!
Eviva España Define how today he is, today, “hypocritical” ?
@@nigeljames6017 it's pointless to argue with these idiots just ignore them lol
So well spoken even as a kid.
Yes, really good parenting
Oh yes it's so true
indeed
@@maurizioarrivabene8182 i agree
Yet so many haters..
Anthony Hamilton is just an absolutely magnificent father.
Imagine working all those jobs and extra hours just for the sake of your kid's dream.
So wholesome.
Guy was an i.t. company manager and lived in the best parts of Stevenage. This isn't Compton
@@hughesyplays Who said anything about living in ghettos?
Of course it's already implied that the Hamiltons are above the poverty line considering that they could afford to give Lewis RC Cars to race and later on take karting.
Still don't change the fact that taking extra jobs, being out there working your ass off for something more than necessary just so that you can help your kid realize their dream makes Anthony a great dad.
@@hughesyplays karting is very financially heavy
@@justinjameswilson5959 Racists always find a way to show their ass... ignore that guy.
@@maxstappen1243 They struggled and Anthony had to work many jobs.
He speaks more concisely and eloquently then many adults I've encountered.
StillShiningTV You should have seen young Michael Schumacher speak when he was LH his age. Just as well spoken as LH. Is there a correlation. Haha
Because he comes from money.
@@bigsassyster That makes about as less sense as anything I have read in a long while. So EVERYONE that speaks eloquently comes from wealth. Well Hamilton quite clearly didn't come from wealth so your idiotic point is voided there.
@@jurxzy Kids that come from wealth will almost always "speak more concisely and eloquently", than other kids.
@@bigsassyster But your point about Hamilton coming from wealth is pretty stupid is what I'm saying. As very evidently he didn't.
Recorded in 1997. 22 years later the guy is considered to be the best f1 driver of all times. So inspiring
act1ve he won the 6 th title as well
how come !!!...
Schumacher >> Senna >>Hamilton > Prost > Vettel > Alonso > Lauda > Mika ....
ll be a better ranking .
@@kibindankoi9824 You cannot rate different drivers from different eras, the cars were just too different.
@@kibindankoi9824 1. That wasn't me that made that list 2. The driver's statistics don't tell the whole story. Honestly any driver from the 50's could be better than Hamilton or Schumacher just because one tiny mistake and they're dead. Nowadays with the health and safety drivers can get out of the hefiest of accidents
@@justahuman8373 I semi agree but i mean by the end of the year he will most likely have the most wins of all time and joint most GP Championships, I agree Senna is defo top 3 because in terms of ELO he is the highest of all time but i think Hamilton will break schumachers records hands down
Here after his defeat to Verstappen
This shows how much of a humble/hard working person he’s been since he was a kid
Still the GOAT
He’ll be back next year
Here after that too... his reaction to what happened added more to his legend than an 8th championship in my opinion...
He doesn't lost but robbed by neo nazis
@@BabiletubeAbdulrahmanmmohamed are you serious ._.? Did you watch the entire championship?
max all the way!!
@@donpatrese congrats mate. Well deserved
It's actually crazy that a man who masterminded McLaren's success with Prost, Senna, Lauda and Hakkinen; said to a 10 year old promising "nobody" of the karting world to call him in 9 years' time about a McLaren contract - and the man stuck to his word.
We all owe a lot to Ron Dennis for that decision to back a young Lewis, to the extent of him sticking a fresh out of GP2 rookie up against x2 WDC Fernando Alonso and fully backing him (rightly or wrongly) all season because he had THAT much faith in his ability. Even managing to win a title with him in only Lewis' second season.
His dad may have been the backbone of Lewis' success story; but who knows whether or not his F1 journey would have materialised at all or been as successful had it not been for Ron.
Now he's a 7 times world champion. Some story.
💜LH44💜
Dont be upset Lewis, they are now nobody and you are legend
Get your tongue out of his arse
@@CB-qk2sj He's right.

"... but imagine being in a Formula 1 car. Must be very powerful." Haha I love that part. Go Lewis.
Mediocre parents teaches mediocre children to hate- Good parents teach their children to be the best!
Good parents teach their children to do whatever they love to do, not to be the best
Good parents don't force their kids to drive without even asking them if they like it, and almost every F1 driver were forced as a kid by their dad to race
@@Kanig94 Yes, I agree, but good parents should also teach their children to seek the best they can. In a healthy way, it only does good to their growing process.
@@mordor1779 It's a forcing that should be done in a healthy way. Kids aren't going to ever like a sport if they're not exposed to it. Getting your kid into a sport is what can build them whether they like the sport or not. Again though, has to be in a healthy way, if Lewis started to like the sport then what's there to complain about?
@@Kanig94 I guess you are white?
I love that little smile he does when imagining the power in a F1. Anticipation 💕 💕 💕.!
Yes I find that part of the interview most fascinating. It's what dreams are made of.
His father was even reluctant to bring up the whole color issue. When it comes time, it only matters what your skill level is and how you bring it come game time. Classy gentleman.
I hate when people call Lewis a chav. Despite being of a working class background, he is very well spoken and always a joy to watch. Nothing but respect for him. He has done himself and the UK proud.
Sucks not having a dad, man. I’m 35 and seeing this really makes me feel the void that was left in my heart by his deliberate absence.
I feel you man
Same here bro...
i really wish having that void, than the one i feel right one, not having my mom because she recently died, i think i rather never have been loved that have been loved so much and live the rest of my life depressed and in pain because she is no longer here im 28 and i dont want to make it another more year hell not even 1 more day
Well, family courts think otherwise. They have been taking children away from they fathers and giving child custody to their mothers for decades
@@anachan5953 Hope you are better now
I like how Ron Dennis stuck to his word and gave Lewis the seat in Mclaren!
Makes me ball my eyes out when he says Ron Dennis asked me to call him in 9 years, because he did and know set to be a 6 times world's champion. I've watched him since his carting days I'm so proud.
Yea cause this season is over.lol
Lewis doesn't look much different from how he looks here

@@BenHeatable came here to say same thing.
@@Adama.1 how is he wrong adama? Just because you look different from when u were young doesn't mean that you are not the same person lol
What a brilliant story.
Brilliant dad and Ron Dennis is honest to his word.
Lewis is simply a fearless genius behind the wheel.
Or if some give them a chance be there etc
It's so nice to see where he's coming from and where he got. Most of the other racing drivers are coming from wealthy families. He is not one of them. I think that he is so good of an human being that a lot of people think that it's fake.
I too didn't like him at first when he came into formula one and I didn't realize it was cause I had issues with the colour of his skin. I'm glad I came over it and now I admire how he grown up to be a proper world champ! I also love to see how spiritual he is and it clearly shows in interviews, well spoken.
The story is also beautiful 👍🙏
I commend you on your honesty. Good on you. Peace to you and yours friend.
What about other black people that are not famous?
Glad you saw sense !! No such thing as White or Black people... it's all nonsense...
@@adriancarlos9155 Adrian I have tried hard to get that same message out to so many people including racists of all colours I discovered that racists seem to have problems in other areas of their lives as well as having problems with race and skin colour....stands to reason.

Oh yes he certainly did
hes comming up for 6. pundits are saying he could be the best ever apart from sky pundits
Congrats on his 5th
He just got his 6th last week!
soon to be 7th.
I don’t know who’s the most heart taking person of the Hamilton’s. The father or the son but for me they are both heroes. One is not without an other and I appreciate that ❤️
There should be a movie made of Lewis story. Being the first black formula 1 driver. even in today 2019. There's no other black formula 1 driver.
he's half white
And to think he could become the best ever...
Six time World Champion now
@@Ubuntu_1 he's probably the best ever
@@dir114 there is nothing called half white. He identifies as a black person . If u asked him to show his identity cards u would see that in this world u are either black, white, asian etc.
"phone me in nine years " awesome !
Lewis is a brilliant driver. He's always had a talent in driving. It's disgusting how people can make fun of people because their skin is different.
WoW, even at such a young age he was so well spoken.
I really respect, Lewis' dad. The dedication he had is so impressive
I’m breathless, this guy is going to be the best F1 driver in the history of the FIA
That’s so sad that he was racially slurred, that’s so cool how he kept his cool and got back at them at the track. I’m so glad that he was able to accomplish his dreams.
Good luck!
Fair to say he's had the last laugh.

His dad's motivation and single-minded will to winwin is the exact type of spirit that put the great in Britian.
First black formula 1 driver with 2 titles and now he will get his 3rd world title has the best car on the grid and the best team

Now 4 title

He is currently younger than Schumacher when Shumie got his 4th world title.
I expect Lewis to achieve anther 4 titles.
4
The Real MVP You can safely say 4 tittles now.
He's calm even as a kid
So calm & composed. No wonder he makes racing look so easy. Even in tough situations I rarely see him get emotional.
very talented yet humble kid, hope he makes it one day.
Greatest story of all-time
This is great watching, i've always had a hard time liking him, but after watching this and what he had to go through, i'm not at all upset that he's been so succesful. One of the greatest of all time, if not soon the greatest.
The first time I saw him in Australia F1 Tv in 2007, I am impressed by him and supported him since then.
Who's here after his record breaking 92nd win?
haters say he is lucky..this is pure talent given by god
hes lucky
but now he get positive Covid19
April 17, 2021 his 99th pole position

Lewis Hamilton a new legend to motorsport. Big inspiration
the fact they have this footage of him so young
Just won British GP. Well done. An absolute legend now. Just keep going. More wins to come.
I know, right!
Aaaaand got rekt in German gp

Wow, I never knew he was on TV before he got famous as a F1 driver. Pretty funny to see one of the best F1 drivers as a child.
Lewis’ dad is an awesome man, the reason Lewis could do all of this, and his dad also had another son with a slight disability, so probs to that dad
what happen to other kids..well done lewis and big respect to his father great man
Mr.K 99 he used to kart with nico
Amazing to see just destined for greatness he's poised, well spoken, and well-raised by his parents.
Im watching this video again after the just ended 2019 french grand prix. Legends are made young and make an impact from young. Lewis Hamilton is a living legend.
Who would know a soft spoken smart kid, would become the face of F1 today.
What an utterly amazing Dad.
and the legend was born
And look him now... STILL RISING AS A KING. 🤴🏾
Soon to be 6 time world champ. The best ever. Hammer time !
Bottas is still in it and Verstappen is pushing as well
Ben well...this aged quite well😌
Soon to be 7 time world champ now.
7th now
@@tatendachinhengo3061 Will it be 8?
Lewis's dad is Don Cheadle?
I got that vibe too. Especially with the accent, like in Ocean's.
Hahahahaha
It's now 2018. He is 5 time formula 1 world champion (so far) and one of the top 3 all time greats. Nuff said.
Who’s here after 2020 with 7 championships already
that is a comment from the future!
Balázs Sveda lol true
hes bascially a 6.75 world champion
jj jz yes, he is dominating the championship, but anything could happen and verstappen or bottas could clinch the title
Actually, I am!
Ncooooooooo🥺🥺🥺🥺, I am so emotional right now. So adorable
Lewis is such a good ambassador for the sport- i remember watching this on TV and look at him now!!
Whose here after the 7th World title, brilliant, just brilliant 😍😍
Who could have predicted 20+ years later this young guy would be a 6 time formula 1 world champion dreams do come true!!! LH44
Yeah buddy. Lh44 rocks.
And nows he's a 7 time world champion 🏆
He was a Angel and he still is a Angel 😇!!!❤❤❤
So proud of him❤
Love you man !!!! You came a long way and you are about to be 5 times world champion this year !!!!
I'd genuinely want to be a dad like him. Genuinly giving your all to provide your children with the best and most suitable conditions to be the best they ever could. Even with Nick and his cerebral palsy, he has been able to instil the same mindset that he instilled to Lewis and Nick is able to beat able bodied people while Lewis is beating everyone he comes across. Incredible man👏🏽
To all those who call Lewis a crybaby…. Can sit down a put their finger back in. This guy has battled adversity from childhood and still had to deal with haters.
His mom and step-mom are the power behind Lewis also. They sacrificed a lot. I love the determination of Hamilton family.
I think his dad sacrificed the most 10 fold...pretty much everything in the beginning.
Lewis 😍
Tiger woods of Formula One, haha. This guy is a prodigy.
***** I agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
+Dion Paxton No you are right, Tiger Woods is not this good!
Wrong. Tiger is that good. Tiger just did not understand or chose to ignore the problems associated with the color line. Hamilton,like Serena in Tennis, has embraced it and that has been their animating fuel. That is why Hamilton like Serena in tennis has not been tripped up yet by the white racist crowd.
Anthony Bailey VERY WELL SAID , HOMIE !
tigerwoods of F1, doesn't matter what Race, just fits in well.
Loved that he thanked ron when he was interviewed on sky
Wow... this is great to see... many formula one fans (including myself) get frustrated with Lewis Hamilton as he has dominated the sport but we don't see the years of hard work and determination that went into him being one of the greatest F1 drivers. Respect.
So are u 'frustrated' with everyone who excels in their field or just LH, wow?!🤔

@@cooltwittertag Were not where you ignorant idiot.
Hyrule Hero When has he been whiny?
@@qasimmir7117 About every time he's not first. Just watch the F1 team radio and highlight videos of the past two years and listen to him when he's not in first position.
Not saying crashstappen is any better though. He's about the least clean driver, the Maldonado of our times. Even kmag is less aggressive.
@@cooltwittertag
You know nothing, was Lewis not constantly moaning on the radio at Monaco ? Remind me what position he was in again ? Oh yes he was leading so debunks what you say about him complaining when hes not in 1st place .... all racing drivers stress out on the radio regardless of if they are in first place or twentieth.
Crazy to think he was in these karts when David Coulthard was racing, and then over a decade later he was racing against him.
92 wins in f1 is an amazing achievement, shows anything is possible
to see how far he's come makes me so proud
Mind blowing determination from his dad and lewis. This lad is now king of the wet F1 track in rain.......
He's not my favourite driver on the grid but how sad are people? Why the hell do you have to be nasty to someone cuz his skin is a little different from yours? I'm happy with the legend he has become today. Will piss a lot of the racists off I bet haha.
@The505Guys Tell us what the differences are.
@The505Guys Does it even matter? While on the topic, people are different even in their own races, whether it be nose structures, cranial structures. Japanese and Chinese are both Asian but still have their differences. But again, does it really matter? No one got to choose their skin colour so it's pointless to put someone down because of it.
@The505Guys I've just realised I basically said what you said but in a different way, bad comprehension skills from me.
The505Guys does it matter , your nose shape , your colour doesnt matter .
No point of spreading hatred .
Love all as all are one .
Imagine hating someone you don't know.
Great vid. Such talent at such an early age. I liked that he seeked his revenge on the track and not elsewhere. Energy flows where attention goes.
Amazing,.....to see him now....he's concurred his dream and then some. Well done Lewis, you are an inspiration to all kids who wish to be in F1 from humble beginnings.
His achievements in the face of adversity to achieve what he has and will go on to achieve is simply mind blowing 👏
His childhood is basically the reason why he got such a strong mentality. You could debate on his driving skills to Vettel or Alonso or whoever else, but I don’t think you could argue that his mentality inferior to some other drivers. It’s been proven since his rookie years.
He in is so cool. I hope and and in pray that lewis will win again..... Good luck.....
Love from your family and dedication to putting in work can help you overcome anything! A few haters cant stop this much success..... Keep Winning!!
Inspirational man. Just don’t worry about the haters because after al you’re the winner and enjoying all the emotions. Well done champ!
Now 7 time world champion and best driver ever
Amazing to see how far he has come
Wow! Well done father and Lewis.. Great work!
Amazing
The fact that he did call Ron is amazing 🏁
call me in 9 years, haha love that :)
This is an incredible document.
Now he can send a chrismas card for everyone who has called him names and ask: "How many F1 World Championships have you win? Oh, none! Well, how many millions have you earned by driving? None?" That is his revenge for injustice he has faced!
So sweet 😭❤️
GREAT FATHER SUPPORT ALSO....AWESOME KID HE IS
It's so amazing watching this now in 2012, knowing everything he has achieved in Formula One.
It’s even more amazing in 2020!
TYVM for posting this. So cute!
