Formula 1 Star Lewis Hamilton Drives RC | CompetitionX

Formula 1 Star Lewis Hamilton Drives RC | CompetitionX

Lewis Hamilton is undoubtedly one of the best Formula 1 drivers in the world, but many don’t really know his past. This video, released in 2017, tells the tale of his life from his early days of racing – yup, you guessed it – RC cars, to his current F1 career (again, back in 2017).

What blew me away was that he was racing RC cars, quite successfully, at the age of 4.

Watch the whole video – it really is quite interesting. However if you just want to pick up the RC part of it, fast forward to the 3:30 point.
