For all the people out there who knock this guy down week in week out, just watch this interview. A brilliant role model for formula one imo. Well spoken, polite, able to explain stuff in an interesting and insightful way. Someone who hasn't took things for granted and is making the most of every opportunity.

I respect Lewis' dad for doing all that for his son. Just incredible.

[SpiCYTaC]

this is how you do an interview. let the person of interest talk and don't interrupt them every 5 seconds. so simple yet most interviewers can't do this.

[RichardRobson]

One of those rare conversations in which you just want it to continue for hours and hours. Brilliant.

[lyndonrobertshaw]

always wanted Lewis Hamilton to do well the more people dislike him the more I want him to support him!

[sajkesavanlal]

Top interview ane he just shows what a talented, humble, decent guy he is off the track, as well as a demon on it. Brits should be proud of having one of the greatest F1 drivers and current sporting megastars. Shame regarding the negativity he gets.

This is why Lewis is different from the other F1 champion drivers. Loving his attitude of positivity and being a good example. So much respect with Lewis! 😘

Hamilton’s dad is a legend what a bloke and look what he created, brilliant and Lewis makes me proud to be British

[knockshinnoch]

A fascinating interview. His focus and clarity of thought is incredible. Listening to Lewis speak- he never once stumbled "ummed or ahhd" so fluent and articulate. The man is a machine! Seriously impressive human being. A true champion.

[lawrencea]

I love how much appreciation and respect he has for his team, including those behind the scenes in the factory.

[soneil]

What a great interview. Lewis is phenomenal. By the time he has finished, he will be the greatest F1 driver of all time.

[mrsir]

Lewis is so polished with his speech, its a pleasure to hear a conversation with him like this. wish it could have been longer.

At first I was reluctant to see this because I thought this was going to be just another interview he does. But after a few minutes I knew I wanted this to go on. Great interviewer. Of all the interviews I've seen of him off track, this was the best.

[brighteyes]

This driver is “other”...in the best possible way. I am so glad that he happened in my lifetime. It’s been thrilling to watch him race, and a joy to follow his career. Lewis Hamilton will always be a class act, as they say. He and his family have much to be proud of—thanks for sharing all of it with us :):)

[jimevans]

Humble beginnings and a supportive father and no silver spoon. I love the Lewis Hamilton story. Keep breaking those records champ 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👍

[annakratochvilova]

What a great interview! Lewis's so charming, humble and geniuenly nice person

[shaunavonblackmore]

That interview was certainly entertaining, informative and brilliantly executed. Lewis is a true F1 Champion.

[trishagreaves-holden]

What a charming, intelligent young man. Go Lewis!

[JugCityKid]

His Dad took such a huge gamble and risk with Lewis. Even Lewis having that pressure to do well. I just can't imagine the mentality the 2 had to keep going.
