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.
