Lewis and seb for me have really grown into becoming proper F1 champions and representing our sport! Hopefully we’ll see max over the next few years grow into his role as well and keep it growing
As Morgan Freeman said. There shouldn't be a black history month. Why should we just celebrate black people's history 31 days out of 365? It's sad. It should just be human history
Absolutely correct
@@brotherfromanother1971 But Morgan helps all human relations, I don't care about race I like all races equally. Politics has no place in sport!!!!
@@brotherfromanother1971 Lewis is a rich wealthy black man and cries about it lol
@@lujolonewolf ironic yet you cry about him in all your comments shitstappen fan
Morgan also said, that in other to stop racism and segregating everything and making it all about race we should stop talking about it, and here we are, a kid born without know nothing about the real world or having been through any time period where black people actually suffered segregation and discrimination lecturing us about it. People need to stop acting like they care and celebrate those who actually did something to humanity independently of race.
I love how he is talking about Africa; you can feel the love in his voice.
Love what Lewis stand for and who he has become outside of formula one!
Lewis is such an amazing human. Love this man. Love his commitment to fighting for whats right and leaving the world in a better place than he found it.
This is why men like him transcend their sport and are admired and remembered for being so much more than just an incredibly skilled sportman and record shattering multiple world champion.
Doubt this is even posted by a human.
Lewis does his best indeed, but please name one concrete thing that Lewis achieved outside F1 and why I should know about it?
@@Tjescoo more than you have. sit down
@Tjescoo hes got 3 of his own whole clothing lines w tommy hilfiger, probably many more other sponsors like monster, hes very successful and no one can deny that
For me, this is exactly what black history month is about: hearing from proudly black role models that exemplify excellence, enough excellence to earn their place in history books, and marvelling at the rich heritage and history of black people, both within our own communities and globally. It's as much about the past as it is the present, inspirational as it is the challenging, the cultural, and the historical. Thank you Lewis and Naomi for sharing both your experiences. ❤
Lewis is always so inspiring🖤
@I’m not the real Buffy From BTVS That's how your family and friends see /think of you, huh?💥
Lewis 8 times world championship for real
Regardless of who you support on the track, you can't deny Lewis is an amazing human being, I feel so proud that he represents all of us F1 fans and what we stand for.
Amazing virtue signaller
Such interesting interview😍😍you're borh welcome to you're motherland Rwanda 🇷🇼the heart of Africa , thousand hills and opportunities, ☺️☺️ I live in the UK but Africa will always be our morherland. History will never be forgotten🙏
As someone who is mixed race I feel I can really relate to a lot of what he is saying. Great interview
I do too
There is one human race??? I don't understand that term.
@@thestretfordendersunited whose they?
@@Max-rh1wt humans are a species not a race.
So happy for Lewis to be following his heritage.!
So happy to hear he's happier than ever, even if he's not winning😄
Much respect and love from Rwanda
This interview has tought me so much. I think we all need to rethink about our heritage and also the adjustments we need to make to become better human beings, more conscious about the use of resources and as Lewis says "breaking patterns" of behaviour. I need to watch it again and take notes. Thank you to Naomi that guided this conversation in such a relax way sharing her own experiences. I admire Lewis very much. I follow all his interviews and I always learn, especially how to be a respectful, honest and open person. I wish him a lot of success with Mission 44 and with Engeneering Hamilton School. I am a retired teacher so thanks for everything you do for children Sir Lewis Hamilton. Fraternal love.
Good on sky f1 for leaving the comments open for discussion (at least for now)
Sadly the usual malcontents are piling in...
@@clivecosta-correa2102 I don’t mind that, gives us the knowledge of the work still required. We can’t change people, but we can certainly speak up with the hope that they learn. What’s make me laugh is, the average black person DOES NOT hate white people, and given our history they might even have reason to. Yet we don’t! ❤
Several comments talking about tokenism have already dissapeared but whatever
@@brotherfromanother1971 Echo that!
@@erpaderpa4469 Yep, but at least it illustrates some people realise they're being a little silly.
I'm planning a lesson on the Windrush Generation as a part of my history teacher training, I'll be using the snippet from 2 mins in!
Lewis..marry that woman!
Right? Their babies would be super gorgeous!❤😍
We should celebrate human history not only when the colour of their skin align with the correct month
And yet, due to the global rise of fascism and the existence of structural racism, that's not possible, is it?
Yeah it’s sad that we need to attached color to humanity. We need to say lives matter, human month. Lets get color out of the picture. We all matter, we all are human and we all should be included and given equal opportunity.
@@juratory8876 you mean the structural racism that lets a man drive in circles and get paid tens of millions for it?
It’s by design that we don’t my friend. Divide and rule.
@@juratory8876 Says the man promoting the spread of Marxism with his nonsense
Wow! This was deep. Very interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing this guys. One of the things I also enjoyed is about how folks that seem to have so little seem to be still so happy.
Another brilliant interview
I think the problem is that generally people are taught their own country's history, which in the west is generally going to be white because most westerners are white. So it's not like people are being blatantly exclusionary, we're still taught about stuff which happened to black people within our own countries, but it doesn't really make sense to teach kids about African countries when we're not teaching history about any other country than our own (and maybe USA) anyway.
Many of the countries in the West are as wealthy as they are because of the world living off African illegally. It’s by design my friend.
Most countries, including Western countries, have an unacknowledged and generally unknown black history. For example, in the UK is there much time spent on black Edwardian or Victorians. I know there is a history there because I listened to Stephen Fry on Audible. In Australia we don't spend nearly enough time learning about the history of Aboriginals. It is probably better now, but I hardly learnt anything about the true atrocities perpetrated by the British, and the Australian settlers, in school.
@@brotherfromanother1971 Africa lives off Africa illegally.
@CrispinBell Africans sold other Africans into slavery.
Yeah, not sure about the logic there.
This was a very heart warming and wholesome interview. Looking forward to the future interviews with these two!
So beautiful, humble and pure soul ❤
It’s very important to show the perspective of learning about black history their respective countries countries and the general world. From educating myself on black history, Many contributions have been made to the world from black inventors and black culture. It’s to showcase the culture as a being that has contributed to the world and not just white culture. In America black culture has mostly been sniffed out of history as it is not taught in its contributing and positive form. The point is to highlight that yes black people have been pivotal in history and it should be included along white history. Not just pointless dates of wars taught in general American schools that mostly highlight the tyranny of American senseless past.
So so touching!
LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS INTERVIEW! 🥰
I have Notting but request for lewis hamilton
I have like Lewis Hamilton talking about his family 👪 history and also f1.
Yeah, he doesn't talk much about his sisters though.. I assume they have history too and have made an impact
16:30 what Naomi said here is really important. Perspective....I can speak from experience and can relate how closed minded you can be without perspective and how much of a positive impact having that perspective has on broadening your mind to the subject at hand. Love to see it thanks for sharing
We love you lewis ! Feel my positifity for you )
Merciii pour la video.
For me, it’s the celebration of beauty and excellence that which you are amidst challenges.
WOW thanks! Naomi is just super professional!
huh.
This is way i love lewis hamilton still I rise 44
Lweis pls do an update on your planned trip. I have been looked at by Nigerians and said I am from there. I actually don't know, it will leave me wondering all my life. P.S Birmingham women are amazing .
One of the hardest things Lewis has to do is not driving a race car fast.
He's mastered that one.
What must be hard though is living that public persona that is seen as a role model for many.
To live your life under scrutiny all the time must be hard as hell.
Yeah must be so hard.....but being a multi-millionaire must ease it a little?
@CrispinBell He is one of the UK's highest tax payers, despite living in Monaco.
@CrispinBell Perhaps you should do a bit of research _beyond_ the clickbait headlines of Daily Mail, Daily Express about his finances, etc. It's all available on the internet for anyone who is willing (and unbiased enough) to look.
@CrispinBell Your point is? The topic is Black History Month related to his background.
Your comment reflects on where your focus is. Vanity and jealousy.💥

Great interview! Black history is such an important topic that should be talked about more often and Def not just one month, nice to hear an open chat about race and confusion growing up with a different skin colour which u don't often hear about.
But why just black history tho? That’s the odd part
its not important to me or my family. its important maybe to black people. this inclusivity garbage is why i cancelled my sky sports package. its rammed dwn your throat at every opportunity.
@@ImRezqoo because white people of today should have to pay for what 1% of white people did 200 years ago 😂
❤❤❤
Love your interview and recognition of black history month. I watched Black patriots: Heroes of the civil on sky history. I learned so much here about the war and what contributions black people made. It should be taught in schools, colleges and universities. I would like to know, who is selecting what to watch on black history month, it is a bit hit and miss with what is actually on there to watch. I was hoping for more historical, factual events to be on there, not this massaged played-down version of what has been put out there. Like Lweis, I have lots of questions I want to ask and know more about where I really came from. Too much hiding the past and no real transparency.
You’re so woken 😂
Beautiful dialogue... and the notion of "mixed race", in my view somehow feeds the notion of the created concept of "whiteness" and on top of that "purity".
Yes, the brutality of racism is real. AND it is just so tricky.
Thank you for this Naomi and Sir Lewis.
you crazy.
Another fantastic interview from Naomi! Give her more air time!
Love ❤️ him so much
The 2 most visible Black people in Formula 1 discussing topics about, and experiences which they both just understand, and they don't need to explain to each other.
Great to see Lewis is not just talking about it, he is also taking action.
Naomi is so well spoken.

It actually would be great for school kids to learn the real History of slavery in Africa...
I’m black I’m not afraid to say that black people were sold out by there own people but that does not justify how all Europe’s countries raped and robbed African of there natural resources their history and our identity and we need to stop this narrative that African history started from slavery we achieved many great things before it was all stolen from us
@CrispinBell indeed... What kids are taught about slavery these days is just wrong. African countries are STILL selling their own people into slavery today! It's disgusting.
They don't wanna hear that....come on gotta play the victim game
Damn right.
also history of other races and have a month for all minorities/races rather than one
the Legend himself Sir LH
If people really want to sit on a bandwagon and hate Lewis, this interview and what he stands for is his true nature. He's an unbelievably humble man, who doesn't want to have a sense of equality, we all stands as equals and no-one should be better than another. A very honest and heart opening conversation with naomi, both had to deal with a lot and overcome many injustices.
Remember BLM.. you still havent learnt anything have you
Injusticies LIKE WHAT.. how can you sit there with statistically the best career and claim that everything is rigged against you 😂
Idiots like you dont remember his ali g comment from yeeeears before it became so cool to be ‘woke’.. goes to show exactly how seeiously he takes serious world issues that he knows nothing about.
He gets paid millions to race in countries where women still get stoned to death for seeking education.. WEARING A RAINBOW HELMET IS NOT BRAVE
Fabulous interview! Great job to you both for being so open. 👏👏
We don't learn History by race in school. We learn it by country. Egyptians , Greeks ect..
He is also speaking about the black diaspora. Black people who through the transatlantic slave trade were taken to the americas, the Caribbean and then the pan African movement that saw many move to Europe, back to Africa. History is also learned via historic events (eg. holocaust). Although these events may be confined to one country or another, it’s not the only way history is or should be taught
@@FernGray black people arent the only race to be enslaved, when you talk about ‘slavery’ you mean african slaves because you are brainwashed.. slavery is much larger than that.. and its about time people stop acti like it happened to them directly 5 minutes ago..
I'm just sad how the media (SkyF1, Netflix and others) are trying to destroy the sport for clicks. The battle on track, the rivalry and the sportsmanship isn't enough for them. They need 'drama', 'controversy' and other forms of cancer to please their shareholders / overlords needs.
Give sports back to the people who enjoy it. The fans and the athletes.
Very much so. I've been following F1 since the late 90's and been a fan of Lewis since 2007. I didn't even watch last season after what they did in 2021. Dodgy calls to bring RB and Max forward, and the last race was it for me. I'm still a fan, I just can't let my money go to F1 and FIA anymore. Netflix ruined it, just look at the new "fans" they don't even know the rules.
I watched a very genuine video with Lewis Hamilton talking about how his dad could only afford a remote control car...then cobbled together the money for a go cart... I've always admired how he came up through the ranks, with the help of both his parents, I'm presuming, even though his father played a more active role in Lewis's driving education. What stuck out for me was the rise from not much money to his position. There are very few poor kids who will ever achieve the same heights, regardless of what color their skin happens to be, their gender, nationality, or religion. What you focus on is what you get in life. Focusing on skin color is never going to end prejudice because it is in and of itself highly prejudiced.
Yet he had massive sponsors from age 6, he has never wanted for anything
@@Dremansworld you don't get sponsors by doing nothing
@@yeetusdelete0 I didn't say he did nothing, I said he doesn't get to play the victim card, he never had it tough he got everything he needed. No expense spared.
@@Dremansworld From what I recall, Anthony Hamilton was working 4 different jobs at the same time at one stage to support his son's cart racing... I believe he also spend a lot of time trying to get sponsors... To come from that background and achieve what he has - fair play to the guy.
@@Dremansworld ☝ Your comment implies, does it not, that Lewis's success is due to the sponsors.....The massive sponsors appeared because all of them saw his father's values , sacrifices and hard work, his interest, potential, and his driving skills. They didn't appear out of the blue sky. Do your research and you'll find that when he earned - earned because of his school grades, his skill in racing radio control cars - his first go kart, he lacked the RESPECT the other racers and their fathers owed him as their equal.
So folks that do not know nor appreciate the sacrifice and effort Lewis and his family made to get him where he is today and still "hate" on him are clueless/unkind/ignorant and thrive on negativity. The topic is Black History Month related to his family's background, not his achievements or wealth. 💫
I'm really hoping he's making a documentary about tracing his heritage
I will be giving free sports massage at the event. Can't wait
Watch out for Karter Ugochukwu.
Everybody has African heritage.
I work in the Justice System & yet not 1 word or request to do something to honour the people who have changed our recognition in society not just in UK but globally - I grew up not seeing 1 person of my colour on any adverts or school books or in our curriculum-> I was given detention at 9yrs old bc I called out Christopher Columbus as not being a hero but a pirate & all I said was “how can you discover something that has always been there” of course my activist mother challenged the school who hushed it all away & banned me from ever discussing it 🤦🏽♀️ I am bi-racial however still to this day Black history is hidden & not discussed as clearly the racism issue lives through this ignorance 😢 I ASK A QUESTION: why are people of colour so hated across the globe ?? WHY ?? nobody can answer this question it haunts me as easy people can migrate to countries bc their skin colour is widely accepted - where as people of colour are not accepted we are targeted, labelled, pushed out, discriminated, hated, & killed just because we have colour 😔
crying now as it breaks me to have lived this battle everyday if my life --> when will it change 🙏🏽

I’m incredibly proud of Lewis for taking the time out to learn and understand the issues facing black people. Most of us from the Caribbean have something in the blood line. I completely applaud his courage for speaking his truth. I never celebrated black history month because I’m black all year round!
How can you not see the tokenism in this?
Not all of African history is negative and just about civil rights, a lot is mega. Piye, Tarhaqa (Kush Pharoahs who ruled over Egypt's 25th Dynasty), Tarhaqa is bibically mentioned. Muhammed ibu Qu who potentially was the first person to set out to the Atlantic from the West side of it first (he needs more studies on him). Mansa Musa (richest man on planet earth to this date) and how great the Mali empire was. Moors who brought Mathematics, Astrology, Physics & Philosophy to Europe, and the Benin Empire, and more. It is not all doom and gloom. Africans were fully integrated in the Roman and Greek empires too. I love history (TH-cam has made it come alive), but, history should be about everyone African, British, French, German, Greek, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Indians all inclusive otherwise it is can be segregated, which needs to end NOW. History should be as colourful as Lewis's helmet, because it truly is.
We learn History by country not race and if children had to learn the history of every country in the world to be inclusive they wouldn't learn anything else.
In schools, history should focus on how events have come to shape Britain today. This includes the slave trade and Windrush. There is simply no time to give an in depth lesson on Benin, Mali or Japan. You have to be realistic, and prioritise things that are relevant - so children can understand the society they live in. A parent, such as you, can give your child extra history lessons (its not only the schools responsibility to educate), or the child may take an interest themselves. Information is easily available.
Nooooooo shush they only want to force certain bits dont include all that
guess australia sky sports censors the comments.
You two should get married. that would be really great.

Hahaha The Spanish we’re the owners of one of the world’s largest slave forts Emina Castle in Ghana Western Africa. Also run by the Dutch, Americans and Portuguese. This is the problem, history belongs to us all, it’s the ignorance that’s the problem.
Dude, whites controlled the planet, all the history you've ever learned had a white man in control. How stupid do you need to be to ask such a stupid question like that?
'White' and Hispanic history is widely documented. Black history (in contrast to African history) in the context of the Caribbean, North America and even Europe to an extent, isn't so.
That's the reason for the focus of Black history month; is that a problem or an imposition? In any case, nobody is being compelled to observe or participate...
This is so weird lol the Africans I know find all this nonsense hilarious.
That’s because they’re second generation colonialised. They don’t probably don’t see the problem because they live in a “slightly fairer society”

I love Naomi (really, in love... If only she knew me...), Lewis is my favourite F1 racer excactly because of this type of whining and I can't imagine what it's like these days to be black and what you have to deal with.
But I still believe that not any race should get any particular attention or privilege to have a celebratory month just for being that race. THIS IS THE GODDAMN PRINCIPLE OF RACISM. Stop it!
I don't care about race I like all races equally. Racial politics should have no place in sport!!!!
*STILL I RISE* Lewis is such an inspiration
🖤4️⃣4️⃣🥇🏆
Or change commentators or tell them to change their mentality towards MAX, if the same thing done by any UK driver they would never discuss it and we all are forgotten and these commentators think Lewis is greatest driver well it's not, give the similar car to both Max and Lewis then see who cross line or who complain more in a single lap...
maybe history should be taught from the perspective of history rather than skin colour
This guy is just on another level.
As an athlete, as a driver, as a person, as human being...
True inspiration.
As a Black American, I applaud Lewis and Naomi for talking about UK Black History Month and wanting to increase racial and ethnic diversity within motorsport.
Those of you complaining about Lewis and Naomi talking about race and Black History Month should ask yourselves this question: am I getting upset for valid reasons or only because I'm upset that the spotlight isn't on white people for a second?
Get a grip, you are only pushing the narrative you see fit and playing the victim card constantly. The true history is never mentioned, coloured people sold their own, funny how this gets brushed under the carpet. Great Britain was the major player in abolishing the slave trade and giving freedom's to people of colour...why don't we celebrate this?

@@elmondo3543
It's an international sport. There have been 772 F1 drives. Lewis is the first full time black racer and will be the last black racer for a while when he retires.
What other sport is like this? Denying a diversity issue in the sport and saying it doesn't need to be discussed is plain jane racism. Stop trying to silence people taking about issues.
@@elmondo3543 lets hope you also never have kids either, imagine all the whining they'll do... You clearly do enough on your own.
@@ConnorRoss First, you’re incorrect to begin with. Willy T Ribbs was the 1st black racer to enter F1. He managed multiple test outings but was never given a drive opportunity like Hamilton. Second, you may be right - Hamilton might be the last for a while but if you look at lower formulas it won’t take as long as many might think. There’s some real impressive talent coming through from all ethnicities. The only barrier will be funding. Drivers nowadays are either sons of Billionaires or come with hundreds of multi-million dollar sponsorship deals. It’s a nuanced issue.
Lewis took the slave name his family was given so long ago and made it famous world wide as a champion and then took it further and made it a name that stands of change, equality for all, being knighted by the queen and so much more. Talk about rewriting the history books & overtaking the dark history of where its from!
This guy is a real jerk.
So the half of him that’s white doesn’t count.......is it the black part that won 7 championships or was it the white half??
You sound ignorant
🤣🤣🤣 maybe he split it 3.5 each
such a dumb take. racists treat anyone who's darker than an egg the same. thats the point. once your "half caste" as they would say you're "un-pure" and the same as everyone else.
Such an ignorant comment. Do better!
Gosh - you need some serious help
Nicole really lost the brudda. Her losss is deep
It’s all I bloody learned about in high school i’m not hating
You would think someone like Hamilton who is biracial should break down race barriers and try and unite black and white , however he seems to neglect his white heritage and just focus on his black heritage
I mean, he was also raised by two very strong white women. He changed his name to include his mother. He is pro people, but it seems to get lost because he can see the struggles of being considered black. He’s birracial but since he started raising awareness most white people get defensive and forget his white side.
I hope you’re trolling. He identifies as black because in this world we live in white people identify him as black. He looks “black”. Blame your own people for the one drop rule. Also white people are not marginalized in todays society. White people hold majority power. Look at F1… he’s the only driver besides Willie T Ribbs to drive a formula one car, in the history of formula one. This should tell you something.
Have you listened to what he's said here? He explains that he's really only recently started getting to understand his African background, particularly during the recent August break. Ergo, he _hasn't_ previously focused on his black heritage, as your remarks suggest.
@UCyJjom79GAKupk-NhL_99Ow It’s because F1 teams are predominantly based in Europe, the populous is mostly white by origin so people of ethnic backgrounds who are good enough for the job are from a very very small pool...the emphasis on people who are good enough not just box ticking to push a certain narrative!
You seem to neglect the topic. 💥

@@virgin26 not for long apparently
Why are you not taughtabout the black king James of England and how the moors came from Africa to Europe and taught Europeans knowledge and how to keep themselves and there communities clean?
@@elmondo3543 what you think and what you know are two entirely different things.
I really don't like the idea of a Black history month. Who decides what is black and what is not. History and everything else should not be segregated according to race. History should honestly and accurately tell the story of people with every kind of ethnic heritage. Lewis himself has a 'black' father and 'white' mother - 'black' ethnicity is an important part of who he is but it is not the whole story. That diversity of ethnicity should be celebrated since it is our future and it will put a stop to the outdated racial categorisation of people that underpins the idea of a 'Black History Month'.
I bet if you said that to him he would get extremely annoyed and claim you are oppressing his blackness
@@erpaderpa4469 Maybe he would but I think Lewis is a much more open and understanding person. Although he probably listens to some more extremist people
winning is easy but losing is an art. Then you really get to know people. Ted Kravitz is a very bad loser. I am canceling my youtube subscription to this channel. I am also very disappointed with Sky sports F1
It's funny how much Lewis always focuses on the color of his skin while at the same time preaching that color shouldn't matter. Shouldn't the message be that all people are equal and not that black lives matter and we need a black history month and all that sort of crap. And for practicality, where do you even draw the line. What is black? Let's say if you are half in between, which history would it fall into? Black or white? Or do we need a new category? Oooow sorry you are not black enough for us. This is so backwards, it's doing the exact opposite of it tries to achieve.
How dare you neglect Indians, and the rest of Asia and all of South and middle America
Round and round we go ay bud
In a perfect world, skin color wouldn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter.
But we don’t live in a perfect world, and POC are regularly underrepresented in society, and even in the telling of history in the western world. That specifically is why black history month is important; it highlights what has been left out in many history books.
@@Ren_1090 theres also lots of things that are ‘left out’ of science books.. kids arent even taught how money works in school.. you are just trying to force history on people they dont want or need..
