On December 15, local time, a high-profile medal ceremony was held in Windsor Castle, and 36-year-old F1 driver Lewis Hamilton half-knelt on a low stool, accepted the canonization of Crown Prince Charles, and officially became a "sir", from then on, British newspapers will write "Sir Lewis Hamilton" when publishing his name. Hamilton is the fourth F1 driver to be named Jazz, along with Jackie Stewart, Sterling Moss and Jack Brabham before him.
Hamilton attended the ceremony accompanied by his mother, and the 66-year-old mother Carmen La Ballestier has been with her son, witnessing his glorious moments and a proud face. Hamilton's complexion is obviously much darker than his mother's, because he is a mixed race, and his parents separated when he was 2 years old, and the driver first lived with his mother, and then after 12 years old, he lived with his father. However, Hamilton's dazzling achievements in racing are inseparable from the support of his parents.
Although Hamilton is of mixed race, he is more inclined to admit that he is of African descent and proud of his Grenadian ancestry, so he has assumed a "black life" posture before several competitions last year. Despite being separated from his ex-wife, Hamilton's father, Anthony, also had high hopes for his son, and in order to make his racing talent better, he quit his job as an IT manager and became a contract foreman, and in order to give his son more opportunities to participate in the race, he worked four jobs at the same time at the most. And from kart driver to F1 seven-time champion, Hamilton gave back to his father with his tireless efforts and impressive results.
In the splendid hall of Windsor Castle, Sir Lewis and Crown Prince Charles, with their pigtails, exchanged pleasantly, with an unconcealable excitement and happiness on their faces.
In fact, when Hamilton was a go-kart driver, he had the opportunity to be in the same frame as Charles. It is estimated that at that time, he would not have imagined that when he met Charles again 22 years later, it would be such a glorious moment.
Hamilton hasn't been smooth sailing lately, as he missed an eight-time chance just a few days ago, losing to 24-year-old Dutch driver Max Verstappen in Abu Dhabi to finish second. Hamilton could not be convinced, after all, it was a controversial result, but his two complaints after the game had been dismissed, and he needed to decide whether to appeal further by 16 days local time.
