It was his very first win with the team in Budapest, at the 10th race of that year, that really dispelled all the doubts of those around him and confirmed that he had made the right choice.

The 38-year-old also looks back on the highs and lows he has experienced since that day with the team, his struggles for human rights, and the importance of giving a hero to the younger generation of young people who have the same skin color as him.

Lewis of course also talked about his dog Roscoe, the mascot, who he considers his child and who everyone told him he wouldn’t have time to take care of!
