Young Lewis profiled on TV
This video is taken from a 1997 edition of BBC programme Black Britain and shows a young Lewis Hamilton coming to terms with life in karting, meeting Ron Dennis and learning about podium etiquette. As the total of the show would suggest, there is also a strong emphasis on Hamilton’s colour and his encounters with racism. Any of you unfortunate enough to have read his Vodafone McLaren Mercedes name-dropathon of an autobiography may get a sense of deja vu from some of the stories.

Rob, most people in satellite towns near London have that accent. He’s now mixing with lots of international people and has an American girlfriend, so I suppose his accent’s “evolved”.
