  • A living Legend!

  • he hasnt changed much and still crashed into little Massa

  • Lewis is half black not black.

  • @davethemouse1 his biological mother is black aswell his stepmum is white he just has a lighter complexion

  • @mimz881 His biological mum is white. I've read his biography.

  • @laurenxmeganxshow oops my bad but he still is black though..

  • @mimz881 Yes he is. Light skinned half black. But he's still considered black. :)

  • calm and talented then, calm and talented now. This man is a beast of a driver

  • @supegui2010 Senna was MUCH better

  • all the racist shit and for what - look how many kids were there in the video - and he rose to the top. goes to show he was destined to be great. am sure those other white kids whose parents probably though the will be f1 drivers are now working in Tesco;s. LIFE

  • And now he is worth 100 million dollars/ 5 years...

  • It's so amazing watching this now in 2012, knowing everything he has achieved in Formula One.

  • what the hell? theres racists in britain still?

  • @NUGNESS123 - There are racists in America still, numbnuts.

  • 3:14 Love that cars..

  • Is this a joke, a show called black britian ?

  • Anthony Hamilton is like "The Rock"

  • i find it sad when i see trolls on youtube saying"lewis can't drive" and all that, he probably had 3x harder time than all those other drivers, no.1 being racism, no.2 being from a quite poor backround, no.3 youtube trolls cough cough

  • Massa disliked 85 times.

  • I get racistim on the race track aswell, and I am chinese, but usually I drive alot faster when people be racist to me before hand so I find it ok lol

  • SCHUMI THE BEST!!!!

  • lol he is a miniture scale of himself nowadays.....

  • o menino e bom tambem parabens hamilton campeao mundial.lembra mais o senna do que o rubinho e o massa

  • SENNA IS THE BEST!!!!

  • build up to be a multicultural superstar ,with all the good will and also all that talent ,if his career does not pick up soon ,i think i wil regard lewis as a failure

  • Es igualito,no ha cambiado nada..

  • i find this amazing well done Lewis!

  • he looks young michael jackson

  • Been a fan of yours for many years Lewis.. I  used to race 125 gearbox. Club champion Wigan 2 years on the trot. 5th Silverstone GP> out of 70....Privateer.. no cash... You know I would have kicked ur ass. Even tho you are the best on the F1 grid.. Watch out for those Germans. Great guy .. Who cares what colour you are.. Focus on your racing. Keep that showbiz stuff out of the garage..IE no rappers... blah blah blah..

  • Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­www He is the cutest thing ever!!

  • he's the best nowadays!

  • すごい人だわ。誰よりも努力すれば夢は叶う。

    こんなに立派に大きくなりましたね。

  • He's the most talented driver in F1 now... closely followed by Alonso

  • he s very sweet boy here. very smart!)

  • Great watching this with hindsight.

  • fantastic driver....enjoy him

    ferrari fan

  • I hate all this shit about halfcast people being black, they're NOT black, Lewis Hamilton is half white aswell so is Barack Obama... Tbh I count that as racist and one-sided

  • @unrealharry Its because historically white people would'nt accept a mixed race person to being white at all even though they were half white. Even today barack obama is first and foremost considered black. I agree.

  • @unrealharry Fuck up, you obviously know fuck all you wankaaaa

  • @GazaMillar2010 Oh what and you do?!!? You cant even answer it properly you TWAT

  • @unrealharry Funny enough I'm mixed race ..... Yeeeoooooo

  • @unrealharry Completely agree, Hamilton isn't black, he's half black

  • Someday i will show this video to my son telling him: "Look, this is Lewis Hamilton whe he was a kid... one of the greatest driver ever!"

    ;)

  • His dad's motivation and single-minded will to winwin is the exact type of spirit that put the great in Britian.

  • Not sure about some people's understanding of genetics, but I doubt that argument is relevant here anyway. Lewis is a great driver, and should be a role model for some of these kids that think they need to act a certain way because of their race. Leave the race/ culture/ immigration argument for another video. Lewis is a top bloke, and yes Jensen, that crash was your fault.

  • a world champion!

  • lol that kid's face behind Lewis at 1:49

  • BBC3 was around in 1997?

  • i wish to see hamilton in Ferrari

  • @JUFFAIR101 NEVER !!!! i would die !

  • @kicorossi i thought true ferrari fans supported anyone who drives the red cars, thats the impression i got anyway?

  • @FRAFPDD who says im a ferrari fan ? lol i hate ferrari and love hamilton thats why i would die ! i hope never see him on ferrari ! mclaren is my team and hamilton my driver, he is the only reason why i see F1

  • Lewis needs to learn to respect other drivers on track. I'm not sure what sport he thinks he's in.

  • @Bazuna he's in a sport where he gets penalised for every little thing for no apparent reason. (spa 2008) for example.

  • fucking racist cunts are going about their business daily..those white asses cant drive over 30mph..Hail Hamilton he is the greatest racer F1 seen this generation,and enough respect for Alonso as well.

  • alonso is the best

    hamilton is nomal

  • @A1L2O3N4S5O60726 and you are a delusional arse! Hamilton is about 5% better than Alonso.. we saw this in 2007 when Alonso started crying. Now FUCK OFF!

  • I like Hamilton more now no one ever really mentions the fact he is black. I don't ever really think about it.

    When he first arrived I resented the fact that we had to be subjected to all this first black driver in F1 stuff. Let him get on with it, don't give him shit about it. If people stopped making a big deal out of how they are different there wouldn't be a problem.

    Why is he being featured on black britain? Give him coverage for what he is, an up and coming young racing driver.

  • @roquefort88888 Lol, are you on drugs or something? Alonso didn't pawn anyone, he made numerous silly mistakes during the season and despite having a championship winning car, he still failed to win the title.

  • funny how Lewis now sounds and looks like his father

  • screw the racists now he is setting fastest laps up in albert road and spa in a f1

  • I like him

  • Video Games/Toys-> Kart Racing->Indy Car Racing-> Formula One

  • '2008 World Champion' Great revenge kid ;)

  • How the fuck is he black?

  • @TheAntinode who?

  • @TheAntinode He has a black father of Grenadian descent you dumb fuck.

  • @bmk139 and he has a white mother he is half black how does this make him black? Is it not more accurate to call him biracial?

  • @TheAntinode Ok, now I understand that you have some kind of limited intelligence and a chip on your shoulder about colour, so I will explain it for you. A child born to a white mother and a black father (or vice versa) will (around 99% of the time) carry the 'black' gene, and as you can see from Lewis, he has all the black features (because he carries the black gene). 'Biracial' is bullshit political correctness, Lewis is not white (or Brown), he is BLACK.

  • @bmk139 No it isn't political correctness. By calling him black you deny the fact he is half white. You wipe out his mothers side. And for this point "A child born to a white mother and a black father (or vice versa) will (around 99% of the time) carry the 'black' gene, and as you can see from Lewis, he has all the black features (because he carries the black gene)" this is a completely factitious point no connection to reality at all just wrong.

  • @TheAntinode Oh you fucking idiot, lol. Perhaps you should buy a book on genetics, or perhaps read up some work by Richard Dawkins. The chance of a child being born (to mixed race White/Black parents) without the black gene is less than 1%. I really couldn't care less if you dispute scientific facts, it just makes you sound like an ignorant fuckwit.

  • @bmk139 You cant put together a coherent argument if your life dependend on it. I didn't say mixed race kids are born without the black gene. You simply dont know what you are talking about and you are trying to cover this up by calling names and recommending a genetics book by richard dawkins. Dawkins is not a geneticist he is a ethologist and evolutionary biologist. Dominant features are determined by dominant and recessive genes not by superstition or an ignoramus like you.

  • @TheAntinode Ah, so you understand the basics of genetics, did wiki help you, lol? Dawkins is a geneticist (same as evolutionary biologist), he even has a nobel prize for his work in that field. I suggest you read 'The Extended Phenotype' by Dawkins, it will (hopefully) help your ignorant, narrow mind to understand how, in the subject we are discussing, the 'black' genes are almost always dominant, the 'white' genes recessive.

  • @bmk139 "he even has a nobel prize for his work in that field" What?

  • @bmk139 and furthermore, I dont know whether you are black or not but this sort of strong reaction to my argument is common among black communities becuase they feel that obama, lewis, woods and others are black and part of them therefore giving them comfort and assurance that they can achieve those heights. Clearly not understanding they cant. Fact is the persons i just mentioned are all biracial and would not be where they are without the other half of their genes.

  • @TheAntinode Do I look black you muppet? My picture is on my channel, which I'm sure you will have looked at. As for your comment, yet again your ignorance is utterly laughable. Hamiltons father took on 3 jobs to support his sons early career. In fact, in his 1st ever karting race, 8yr old Lewis started at the back of the grid and finished 3rd, it was there and then that he was talent spotted by former FIA world karting champion Martin Hines. The colour of his skin had fuck all to do with it.

  • @TheAntinode Guess what, throughout history people like you consistently told us we can't. Constantly told us, we aren't good enough, less than and unworthy. Told us; we were little more than laborers, cotton pickers and shoe shiners. Well here is a little, history, anthropology, and social lesson; we are dominate, strong and we will be accepted. Keep this firmly in your mind my friend; skin tone accounts for so little to the human genome is hardly worth discussing.

  • @Bahamuttiamat I'm as white as snow but I like all races. I am disgusted by the world we live in. Nevertheless, Lewis has sadly lost his way in recent times. I'd be very pleased to see him return to his 2008 form, but I think that 20-plus years of all work and no play is beginning to hurt him.

  • @SuperApparition Life is full of ups and downs. The true greats learn from their mistakes and persevere. Lewis has the innate ability to drive, in time he will find his centre and rule f1 once again.

  • @TheAntinode you idiot, so what would you say about 'usain bolt'

  • @bernardkargbo you moron my previous comment was to do with black people excelling in areas dominated by white usian bolt doesn't count as your counter argument because sprinters are always dominated by blacks.

  • @TheAntinode You did not mention anything about whites excelling in white dominated sport, and by the way i don't call it sport, real sport is when you don't depend on machines, in f1, the machine is doing most of the work its like usain bolt using steroids. But he ain't. And if he did, jealous racists will start hating him, and even now i know there are many whites who recent the fact that he is black and he is the real super man of the track naturally. F1 is just another excuse for a lazy man.

  • @bernardkargbo are you kidding me? these drivers have to fit like any other athlete. I'd like to see you run around in a formula 1 car for an hour and a half and see how your body takes it.

  • antony looks like wesley snipes

  • @humooo tiger woods!

  • i hated him but througout the time i love him ( still not better than raikonnen in my opinion)

  • this shows success is not an accident, you have to work for it

  • @nike2die4 u know wot dude, its taken me 2 years to see the reply u wrote but yeh, mclaren voluntarily stopped or altered development on certain aspects on the car see the link

    news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motor­sport/formula_one/7177341.stm

    check ur facts!!!!!!

  • wow lewis is the spit image of his dad

  • 11 years later.....

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing that he went from this little karting champion to one of the youngest F1 world champions, Lewis is an amazing driver.

  • i ze taka fajna sucz bedziesz mial...tez nie wiedziałes...?? ...tego Ci zazdroszcze....bardziej niz tego f1 calego...

  • best f1 driver right there

  • 2010 is over is Hamilton is the biggest LEWISER!!!!!!!!!! Not only that...He finished 4th, behind ALONSO.................HAHAHA

  • @consulini1 that cunt alonso cheat 1st TWICE TWICE he is just paying back what he did for not winning the championship!

  • @PhotoRelax Oh boy! You really hate Alonso don't you? Well.... that's life. But it doesn't change the fact that Alonso finished 2nd and Hamilton only 4th. In fact, Alonso was voted THE BEST driver in 2010 by the team managers and I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Martin Witmarsh voted for Alonso as well.

  • @consulini1 no i just hate Ferrari team management! They are always out to spoil the many good names favio bartole (what ever that renault guy name is) made see micheal schumarcher now ALONSO...... next what.... robert kubica??

  • @PhotoRelax Ok. Fair enough. But I still don't understand what you are so upset about. Every team in F1 has a dark side. Remember 2007/2008...Mclaren copied Ferrari's car and by doing so, virtually ruined the championship. 2009, Hamilton showed everybody his true face and the lack of sportsmanship by lying and getting Jarno Trulli penalised.

    What exactly do you hate so much about Ferrari's management?

  • @consulini1

    it is evident that you are deficient in brain cells from what you said. lewis did everything right at the time, there was just a misunderstanding regarding the jarno trulli incident, for which his race engineer took the blame. and of course you cannot talk as you have the king of lack of sportsmanship himself in your team under the guise of fernando alonso. i would list his countless incidents which he lacked good sportsmanship but unfortunately they are just that.. countless

  • @consulini1

    bitter tifosi tut tut

  • Kis Pöcs

    a gokart illik hozzáxD

  • check out also a young sebastian vettel on youtube....his thophy signed by MS

  • Hamilton - absolute legend, so typical that he'd be abused for being black though, a lot of British people are total pricks, they were probably jealous of Hamilton's talent!

  • I can't believe people are using racial slurs at a kid! it shows how low people will stoop, I hope they find the people calling him names because they deserve a quick and painful death.

  • @Miikaika25 how low people"? you mean low white people lol .....

  • @Miikaika25 isn't it a "slow and painful death"?

  • @Miikaika25 This is the internet, nobody gives a fuck.

  • @Miikaika25 if it's quick then there's no point of it being painful, how about a slow painful death, shit im a physco

  • @Miikaika25 I know rite. Screw those boring British pricks.

  • @Miikaika25 *Slow and painful death.

  • 1:49 is mike conway, im sure of it.

  • lolol whoooahhh whooahh BLACK BRITAIN... wtff

  • Whats wrong with the stereo effects on the off voice?

  • It's cool to see materials about F1 drivers when they were small... most of them are on the internet :P

  • @ArtificialRed1083 LMAO, you have just answered your own question you dumb, ignorant cunt.... KID KARTS is NOT the Cadets/Super1 Karting series, and cadets is 8 years upwards and has been for many years.

    If you have so much trouble differentiating between the 2 of them:

    the former being a fun series for kids and the latter being a seriously competitive internationally recognized motorsport series, then you really must be as thick as shit, lol.

  • Woooow, he looks so much like his dad.

  • How wonderful it would be to support/nurture a child like this............... :)

  • I wish my dad got me a kart, and told me to race...

  • White dominated sport?,,, Shut up bitch your in the UK!

  • Fuck you Hamilton,Kubica is the Best

  • @1994adryan hahahahahahaha where have u been

    kubica sucks hella

  • @1994adryan lol

  • man i just wish the cars still had the stickshift gearbox and not the paddles :(

  • i wish all f1 teams and retired drivers would get involved with driver development because there is plenty of talented drivers who can't go any further then karts or formula ford and lesser drivers with the money can. pay drivers should not be in f1 it should be for the best not the richest.good to see red bull with a driver program and webber/horner with gp3 team

  • well he is richer than all those racists combined so it worked well!

  • omg he looks so much like his daddy so cute

  • Lewis is cute !!!

  • nothing to do with skin color (we are all equal in) is a phenomenon.

    I like it because Lewis never gives even the 'last lap, as it reminds me of a certain mentality Gilles.

    One day I'd see him at Ferrari

  • Would it be racist if there was a tv show called "white britain" ? jus sayin.

  • @dontchuckitson obv not, its your country. you could have a white jamaica or soment though, :D

  • @dontchuckitson I agree mate.

  • @dontchuckitson the history of being black and being white are totally different, because of this some things that are said are deemed unacceptable for whites and acceptable for blacks. I agree these are double standards but perhaps that stems from the double standards in black and white history. its like calling someone fat is seen as alot worse then calling someone skinny.. if that makes sense lol.

  • Always the fathers....but ham looks exactly like he looks today :D

  • @GpOwnS

    You probably didn´t do anything and i totally agree with you BUT: please try and understand our emotional situation sometimes and that not everybody can be as enlightened as you and i. Plus: you are not being victimized so don´t place yourself in the center of he narrative; being white means you are equipped with many privileges that are self-evident to you. Encountering a black person hating all whites should really be your very least problem. But again, i agree, we are all humans.

  • to think that little mofo is gonna stick it to nicole scherzinger one day LOL

  • What do you know? he's in F1 and one of the best.

  • BBC = Black Britain Cheater.

  • One of the best drivers in F1 PERIOD!

  • I've always thought Britain was racially tolerant. I lived in a Central European country where a foreign white person would have been subjected to frequent harrassment. A black man would definitely have been picked on there. I always contrasted this with Britain.

    I'm sorry to hear that some people still think its acceptable to make people feel different and ostracised.

  • Bet you didnt know his dad is from Grenada! Grenada jump up!!

  • From RC cars to Go Carts to F! Lewis Hamilton's life is cool..

  • so strange to see, that Ron Dennis and that little unknown Lewis Hamilton would be world champions years later together with Mclaren. Lewis we love you!

  • well he can laugh at those racist bastards now look who is on top who didn't waste there time bullying people. lewis will definitely go on to be one of the greatest drivers off all time if not the greatest he is still only young and if mclaren keep on top of there upgrades there will be no stopping him

  • and since then he went on to win a world championship !

  • He was a cute kid! :)

  • the guy is good!! no doubting that and Ron Dennis kept his promise. I smell a network movie(if it was America of course) :)

  • Can anyone tell me how I can open a champagne bottle?

  • @WhoLueYou None of the british have the intelligence to be anything. black or white. they have the intelligence to be locked up at home and never be seen again! why overrate the white ones?

  • They had BBC3 in 1997?

  • he looks so cute :)

  • @arthusthefirst You dumb cunt, you cannot race until you are 8 years old. Hamilton started racing at 8, won 8 karting titles in 6 years, followed by winning 3 single seater titles in 5 years.

    He almost won F1 at his first attempt but for hydraulic failure, won it at his 2nd attempt, has the largest winning margin in an F1 race for 18 years, has the most overtakes on the grid in 2008, 2009 & 2010, is leading the championship & also has the highest wet weather win ratio of any driver on the grid

  • @bmk139 highest dnf on the grid aswell ahaha 

  • @waydlemx Haha, yeah, and despite 2 mechanical failures, 1 error & 1 racing incident, it's funny that he's still ahead of Vettel & Button in the championship. Add to that he's only 9 points off Alonso who has only 1 engine left, lol.

    Even Hamiltons 1 on track mistake this year is far fewer than Alonso, Webber & Vettel have made.

  • @bmk139 not ahead of webber the champion aussie and you are taking this way to serious by searching for stats ahahah

  • @waydlemx Lol, searching for stats? Nope, I've watched the whole season, and I'm also a Webber fan.

  • @bmk139 good stuff m8 well said, it really iritates me how many people cant stand the fact the he is just so damn good!

  • @arthusthefirst Hahaha you couldn't be further away from the truth...

  • my man

  • Go Go Lewis, u show them what u r capable of ma son

  • proof white ignorance is everywhere, not just the U.S.

  • @bahanas301 Are you trying to make a point, or are you just showing proof that dumb people are everywhere, especially in the US?

  • LEWIS NEVER DESRESPECT OR LET YOUR DAD DOWN NEVER MAN! I WATCH ALL YOUR RACES AND I REALLY SUPPORT U.

  • beautifully said young Lewis, those who can't beat you on the track will try every angle to put you off, your a star, and appreciated by all real race lovers ... your welcome at Ferrari any day :)
