Sir Lewis

By: Michael Sawyer

Narrated by: Shane David Joseph

An inspiring biography of Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton's epic rise to glory, from his racing career and beyond.

Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton’s journey from remote-controlled car hobbyist to seven-time world champion, knight of the realm, and global superstar is the stuff of sporting legend. This authoritative biography follows Hamilton’s path from his early days karting on local tracks to the glitz and pressure of the Formula One circuit. Along the way, we witness Hamilton’s single-minded determination to reach the top, even as he challenged racial barriers and opposition at every turn. His triumph over adversity is all the more inspiring, given Hamilton’s pioneering role in making motorsports accessible to marginalized communities. Beyond his unparalleled on-track exploits—leveling the record books held by the legendary Michael Schumacher—Hamilton has used his platform to advocate for social justice, environmental sustainability, and diversity.

Hamilton has leveraged his fame to push Formula One and global sports to be a force for positive influence while inspiring a new generation of athletes and artists to pursue their dreams. As Hamilton nears the twilight of his racing career, this thoroughly researched book examines his lasting legacy. His impact extends far beyond just his championship trophies. Sir Lewis culminates with Hamilton’s potential final act—chasing a record-setting 8th world title at the wheel of the iconic Ferrari team, the ultimate validation of his greatness.

Such an interesting life Lewis Hamilton has had

This book delves into the life and struggle that Lewis Hamilton has experienced in his journey to the top of the F1 racing world

He's Definitely the F1 GOAT!

I've always kept one eye on F1 racing, but I wasn't paying close enough attention to what Sir Lewis was doing on and off the track. To be a GOAT, one must excel in their profession and also stand for something beyond it. I had no idea Sir Lewis was such an active activist for black people while dominating Formula 1 racing. This story makes me wonder if the color of his skin influenced the puzzling decisions made by his team and the race director who kept him from winning more championships. I'm now a dedicated fan and will watch the 2025 season closely, hoping to see Sir Lewis win his 9th* title! This is a great read—it's inspiring and informative!

Despite the challenges he faces, he remains determined to pursue his path, showing resilience in the face of adversity.

The book provides a deeper understanding of his life, both on and off the racetrack, revealing his genuine desire to support and uplift others.

Not for me

I like F1, i like Lewis but this book was so painful to listen to. I expected something else i guess. I didnt like how the author makes Lewis a victim in every story he is telling, its annoying. Whole book is about Lewis being hurt by everyone. Lewis is a great driver with kind personality but please do not make a saint of him.

A lot of quotes …

Not so much about F1 racing
More about DEI
