Why Lewis Hamilton has a special connection to Brazil

Lewis Hamilton's profound connection with Brazil is a modern F1 romance, deeply rooted in his childhood admiration for Ayrton Senna. The seven-time World Champion, now an honorary Brazilian citizen, considers the nation a second home, embracing its culture and people. His iconic 2021 Sao Paulo Grand Prix victory, where he echoed Senna by proudly waving the Brazilian flag, epitomized this special bond. Hamilton's love for Brazil, and the Brazilians' reciprocal affection, transcends motorsport. Fans see in him a reflection of Senna's fearless spirit and determination, while Hamilton is inspired by the country's resilience and commitment to diversity. This enduring relationship makes the annual pilgrimage to Interlagos far more than just another race for him.
