Lewis Hamilton
Being one of the most successful F1 racers of all time has its own responsibilities that Lewis Hamilton has been performing through his various organisations and philanthropic foundations. The seven-time F1 World Champion has been hailed as one of the highest paid atheletes in the world by Forbes in the last decade, thanks to his multi-million dollar contracts with the Mercedes AMG Patronas team.
Being the only person of colour to ever get a super license to join Formula 1, Lewis has been vocal about inclusivity in the elite class of motorsports. His Lewis Hamilton Foundation has played a crucial role in addressing various discriminations with Black children often face in scholastic, sports, and other fields in the UK. Towards the end of January, 2022, Hamilton joined hands with Sky Sports for a two-year partnership which will tackle systemic racism in the schools of the United Kingdom.
Because of all the philanthropic activities that Lewis Hamilton and his foundation has carried out for the greater good of young children, the British racer has been named as one of the most charitable persons in all of Britain.
