From the days when his father would take him to watch Formula One greats Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, Lewis Hamilton dreamed of joining the ranks of his racing heroes. This he eventually did; becoming the youngest driver to ever pilot a F1 car, in 2007. Hamilton was never shy of his talent. He approached McLaren boss Ron Dennis at the age of ten and told him he was one day going to drive a McLaren. Ron replied, “Wait nine years and I’ll see what I can do”. In 1998 Dennis kept his word, signing Hamilton to the McLaren Driver Development Program, making Hamilton the youngest driver to ever enter a contract. He was also the first black driver to compete in Formula One; and win a major race. Hamilton’s dream had finally come true. A future star, Hamilton’s past rivals, present teammates and F1 greats all agree that his is definitely “the career to watch”.
