Lewis Hamilton once talked about various difficulties he faced while climbing the motorsport ladder. He talked about financial, mental, and racial struggles in his life.

Hamilton is now a renowned racing driver in the world with seven world championships and over a hundred race wins under his belt. However, he has often touched on how difficult it was for him to reach F1. The kid from Stevenage started karting at the age of six and quickly attracted McLaren's former boss, Ron Dennis's attention. However, his road to F1 was not the smoothest even after being recognized.
