Why does he attract so much attention? In the 56-year history of F 1 Grand Prix, apart from occasionally seeing a few yellow faces, almost all white drivers are in the lead. But starting from the 2007 season, F 1 will become the first black driver in history. 1October 24th, 2006, 165438+ McLaren announced the 2 1 year-old British teenager Lewis. Hamilton and Alonso will form the main lineup of the team next season. In fact, Hamilton is expected to play F 1 for McLaren. On September 8, 2006, just five days after he became the new GP2 champion, Hamilton got the opportunity to test drive for McLaren. Since then, the rumor that he will become the first black driver in F 1 history has been raging. In the end, McLaren did not lend him to a small team for one year as some rumors said, but directly promoted him to the position of the main driver of F 1. Hamilton revealed that this was confirmed on September 30th. On that day, Dennis invited Hamilton to his home, and whitmarsh, CEO of McLaren, was also present. Dennis himself said to him, "We have decided to make you the main driver next year." Hamilton said that he just smiled, but his heart was full of joy, and he finally realized his dream F 1. In fact, Hamilton has been a driver trained by McLaren for 9 years. At an award ceremony in 1997, Hamilton, who was only 12 years old at that time, unexpectedly introduced himself with team leader Dennis. "Hello, I'm Lewis, and I'd like an autograph. I want to work for you later. " Dennis gave him his mobile phone number and said with a smile, "Come to me when you win the world championship in go-karting." Just a year later, Dennis heard Hamilton say, "I won the kart championship." Dennis didn't break his word and signed Hamilton. Since then, McLaren has been training British people, and he has lived up to expectations. He has won the championship in all competitions, including British Renault Formula and F3, and the GP2 champion in 2006. There is no doubt that after Schumacher retires, Hamilton will become the new hot spot of F 1. Many people will pay close attention to the performance of the first black driver in F 1 next year, and partnering with two-time world champion Alonso will increase this attention. Hamilton said that he just wanted to take this opportunity to see how far he was from Alonso. "The first year will be difficult, especially with Alonso. But I am still young. I came with a learning attitude. I will do my best on and off the track. It's great to have a teammate who has won the world championship twice, is very experienced and talented, and is several years older than me. He will give the team a lot of help and I will learn from him. " The team also said that it would not give too much performance pressure to the newcomers. Dennis hoped that Hamilton's goal was not to beat Alonso, but to improve himself. "He doesn't have to pay attention to his performance, but depends on his performance. As long as he can make continuous progress in the previous races, he will have a chance to achieve good results. " The Hamilton family immigrated to England from Trinidad and Tobago very early. In order to support him to participate in the racing, the whole family paid a lot. Anthony, Hamilton's father, said, "Sometimes I have to work three jobs at the same time to have money for him to participate in racing. I am very happy to see that he has now won the position of McLaren driver. " Hamilton is also very grateful to his stepmother Linda and his younger brother Nicholas. "My family had to find all kinds of jobs to make money for me. Without their support, I can't have today. " Hamilton is regarded by the British as "Tiger Woods in the racing world", and the sponsors are also very optimistic about the impact of the Woods effect on him, but Hamilton said that he did not feel any special pressure, and he was not worried that fans would care more about his skin color than his performance. "I didn't think so much. I came to McLaren to work, to do something I've wanted to do for years. No matter what others say, I will concentrate on my work. " Dennis also said, "I always told Hamilton that if one day you want to use your skin color, I will give you trouble." He must get ahead with his real skills. "According to reports from Reuters, Finnish driver Kovalainen announced that he has signed a contract with McLaren, and he will replace Alonso, who returned to Renault, to partner with Hamilton in 2008. Unfortunately, Delarossa, the Spanish reserve driver of McLaren, had hoped to be promoted to fill Alonso's vacancy, but with the arrival of Kuvalainen, there will be only the fate of "reserve driver" next year.
