Hamilton admits F1 racing made him miserable
Seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he found the early days of his F1 career to be miserable despite his rapid success in the sport.
Despite starting strong in F1 in 2007 with close championship finishes, Hamilton achieved his first world championship in 2008. His move to Mercedes in 2013 marked a turning point in his career, leading to six more championship wins in the following years.
Beyond his on-track success, Hamilton has made significant contributions off-track, including establishing his charity Mission 44 to support under-represented youth in STEM fields.
In addition to his charitable endeavors, Hamilton has ventured into business ownership and even played a role in the F1 movie released this year, showcasing his diverse skill set and interests.
During a recent interview, Hamilton candidly shared his desire to explore beyond racing, reflecting on the struggles of feeling confined to the expectations of the sport.
The F1 movie that featured Hamilton and Brad Pitt garnered mixed reviews, with criticisms about storylines and representation, but was a financial success, surpassing $545m in box office earnings.
