Abstract

Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time Formula 1 champion, is diversifying his interests and preparing for life after racing by pursuing his passions in fashion, film, and music. He recognizes the challenges that retired athletes face and wants to avoid that by finding other things he is passionate about. Despite facing criticism, Hamilton believes that exploring his interests outside of racing enhances his performance on the track and sets him up for a fulfilling second half of his career. One of his current projects includes producing a Hollywood film about Formula 1 racing alongside Brad Pitt, aiming to make it authentic and appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers. Hamilton also expresses his love for Ferrari and his excitement about joining the team in the 2025 season. He discusses his interest in fashion and his desire to support independent fashion brands, particularly those led by women and people of color. Hamilton reflects on his career and the challenges he has faced as a person of color in the racing world. He also talks about his plans for the future, including potential projects in fashion and film. Despite recent losses, Hamilton remains committed to his current team, Mercedes, and is focused on delivering the best performance possible. [Extracted from the article]
