Lewis Hamilton: Will He Be Britain’s First Ever Billionaire Sportsman?

Lewis Hamilton seems to be the latest Formula 1 sensation. At just 22 years old, he has already accomplished as a rookie what many F1 drivers took years to achieve. Hamilton was signed by McLaren’s Young Driver Programme at just 12 years old.

By 2005, he had won the Formula Three Euroseries racing for the ASM team. By 2006, he joined the ART Grand Prix teams in the GP2 series as a replacement for Nico Rosberg. His impressive performance in the GP2 series got him recognised in the business.

Most recently, Lewis Hamilton was tipped to be the first rookie to win the Grand Prix. The Brazilian Grand Prix took place on Sunday 21st October and saw Hamilton lose out to Kimi Raikkonen for the champion title.

Despite coming in seventh place, Hamilton is still hot property right now. It seems everyone in Britain is backing him and the press are going wild for his antics both on and off track.

It’s inevitable that Hamilton will become the face of many lucrative advertising campaigns, earning him a lot of money in the process. With this in mind, I want you to answer this question:

Will Lewis Hamilton become Britain’s first billionaire sportsman?
