Lewis Hamilton and the England men’s soccer team share a thing or two in common. Both are bursting with pride and talent. Both know what it means to carry the hopes and dreams of a nation on one’s shoulders. Both are no strangers when it comes to being front and center in the public eye. For Hamilton, his arrival onto the global scene came in Melbourne in 2007. A stunning Grand Prix debut that had the motorsport world abuzz and the great, three-time world champion Niki Lauda calling him the best rookie driver he’d ever seen. The following year, he would become the sport’s youngest ever champion at just 23 years of age. A further six titles would follow, equaling the great Michael Schumacher’s record.
