Lewis Hamilton

Description
Book Introduction
We illuminate the racing life of Lewis Hamilton, the legend with the most wins in F1 history.
Achieved the most world championships in history with seven, becoming the first and only black F1 driver to do so.
The first motorsports star book published in Korea, the 16th installment of the Athlete Series.
"Who's Your Player?" Brainstore's Player Series is a new format of single-volume books that delve into and stylishly portray a representative player of the current era and generation, aiming to create a "book you want to own" rather than just a "book to look at."
Launched in August 2021, the series is building a stronger identity, significantly expanding its scope, and forming a single universe.
This time, a new title that is quite different from the 15 books published so far has been added.
It is an ironic sport that is a worldwide favorite, but still considered a minor, non-mainstream sport in Korea.
A book highlighting the life of Lewis Hamilton, the iconic star representing the F1 Grand Prix, the world's greatest motorsport event, and the greatest driver of all time, will be published in May 2024.
The publication of a biography or biography of a motorsports athlete is unprecedented in the Korean publishing market.
It must have been an adventurous attempt for both the publisher and the author.
F1, which is a symbol of automobile racing, or rather, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the sport itself, boasts global popularity to the point that it is called one of the world's top three sporting events in terms of various indicators such as spectator attendance, viewer population, and economic scale.
Despite the high ticket prices, ranging from as little as 200,000 won to as much as several million won, it is a huge sports business that attracts over 4 million spectators annually, is broadcast in over 150 countries, and has an annual viewership of over 1.5 billion.
The commercial value of this sport is growing exponentially over time.
Although it is a global league held on all continents around the world, the number of players participating in the season is limited to only 20.
Among the world's 8 billion people, only a very small number of people with special talents who have passed through the eye of a needle and repeatedly passed through it can step onto the stage and drive an F1 car.
A whopping 1 in 400 million.
That is, the probability is 0.00000025%.
Compared to this, the odds of winning the first prize in the lottery are quite possible and realistic.
The odds of winning the lottery are about 50 times higher than the odds of becoming an F1 racer.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the genius of the century just by entering the world of F1.
But among them, there will definitely be top-class players.
There will always be someone who is the 'Top of The Top' and the 'Greatest of All Time'.
That person is Lewis Hamilton, the protagonist of the 16th installment of the Player Series.
Hamilton stands out among them.
He has the most wins and titles in F1's 74-year history.
His records, including 103 career wins, 105 pole positions (first place in qualifying), and 197 podium finishes (placed in the top 3), are unparalleled and are the greatest achievements of all time.
Above all, he is an unparalleled competitor who has won the world championship title seven times, which is something that many motorsports athletes only get to achieve once in their lifetime.
This is a record that ties him with F1 legend Michael Schumacher, and is a feat that puts him on par with the old legends who still represent the sport while still active.
It's hard to find a more accurate description of Lewis Hamilton than the cliché "living legend."

Into the book
Schumacher, who was watching the young prospect at the time, said, "Hamilton is a quality driver," and "He is a great athlete with the right racing spirit, and I am sure that if he continues his career, he will reach F1."
It was a rave review from the 'Emperor', who is considered one of the greatest drivers in history.
Besides these, there were many people who recognized Hamilton early on.
A motorsports insider later recalled, "During a karting event in Northern Ireland, one of the competitors, a boy, damaged Hamilton's favorite sweater. I was very impressed by how he calmed down and handled it, unlike other children."
It was said that the most important talent for a driver is mental strength.
--- From "The Appearance of a Genius Child Who Overcame Prejudice"
Hamilton was the first and still the only rookie driver to reach the podium nine times in a row in his debut race.
White rice is the 6th round of the Canadian Grand Prix.
In this race held in Montreal, Hamilton tasted the thrill of his first career victory by taking first place with a time of 1 hour, 44 minutes, and 11 seconds.
The gap with second place Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber) is 4.3 seconds.
With this victory, he overtook Alonso, who was tied for the lead in the overall season standings, and reclaimed the top spot in the drivers' standings at the time.
It was the first win ever by a black player.
In F1 history, no one has risen to the top as quickly as Hamilton.
--- From "The Appearance of a Super Rookie Who Shook the World"
Then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown also sent a congratulatory message immediately after the race, saying, "Hamilton's confirmation as F1 champion is a great joy for Britain," and "the entire British Empire is excited about his extraordinary talent."
Coincidentally, in 2008, the year Hamilton became the first black F1 champion, Barack Obama was elected as the first black president since the founding of the United States, the world's most powerful country.
Riding this wave, Hamilton's achievements are also considered evidence of the social and historical changes that broke down racial barriers, generating a buzz far greater than that of the average F1 champion.
Hamilton also said at the time, "I never get tired of watching the news of Obama's election.
“I would like to express my congratulations and respect to Obama,” he said.
--- From "The Dramatic Crowning of the First Black Champion"
There were also incidents that occurred as a result of the transfer to a new team.
Hamilton accidentally stopped his car in the pits of his former team McLaren in an early season match against Malaysia, drawing laughter from the TV commentators.
Considering the period of adaptation required for the transfer team, 2013 was a smooth year.
Although they have been making good use of the Mercedes engine characteristics that they have had since their McLaren days, their competitiveness in racing remains unknown.
It was an ambiguous year, unclear whether the first year of transfer would be considered a success or a failure.
But as if to prove his choice was right, his new team Mercedes finished the season in second place in the constructors' standings, ahead of Ferrari, and entered the top rankings.
--- From "Embraced by Mercedes"
The team that is literally the 'reason for the league' and the history of motorsports itself will now have the most decorated driver of all time join them.
Will Lewis Hamilton ever wear the red jersey and rise to the top again? Or will he slowly decline? Either way, the fact remains that he's the culmination of a massive wave that shaped F1 history, a reigning champion who has dominated the league for a long time. And the idea that he still holds the GOAT crown, a title bestowed upon only one person, is a minority opinion.

Publisher's Review
Although it is a global league held on all continents around the world, the number of players participating in the season is limited to only 20.
Among the world's 8 billion people, only a very small number of people with special talents who have passed through the eye of a needle and have been trained again and again can step onto the stage and drive an F1 car.
A whopping 1 in 400 million.
That is, the probability is 0.00000025%.
Compared to this, the odds of winning the first prize in the lottery are quite possible and realistic.
The odds of winning the lottery are about 50 times higher than the odds of becoming an F1 racer.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the genius of the century, the world's genius, just by entering the world of F1.
But among them, there will definitely be top-class players.
There will always be someone who is the 'Top of The Top' and the 'Greatest of All Time'.
That person is Lewis Hamilton, the protagonist of the 16th installment of the Player Series.
Hamilton stands out among them.

Above all, he is an unparalleled competitor who has won the world championship title seven times, which is something that many motorsports athletes only get to achieve once in their lifetime.
This is a record that ties him with F1 legend Michael Schumacher, and is a feat that puts him on par with the old legends who still represent the sport while still active.
It's hard to find a more accurate description of Lewis Hamilton than the cliché "living legend."
The man who created the myth of "dirt spoon" in the world of racing, where astronomical sums of money are involved.
An iconic driver who went beyond a player who made history, becoming history itself.
Experience the thrill of the times Lewis Hamilton fought against in one book.
Lewis Hamilton is not only highly regarded for his unique achievements.
In addition to the immortal record he has built himself, he is also loved as an even more special being because he has a story of human triumph that has overcome countless adversities to achieve success.
The first and still only black driver in F1 history, an immigrant who appeared like a mutant in the world of motorsports, a playground for the wealthy where astronomical amounts of money are exchanged, and his background as a working-class family feels like a cliché from a drama or movie script.
But for Hamilton, it was all a real and desperate fight and survival.
Perhaps, for him, such difficult obstacles were not stumbling blocks but stepping stones.
Because Lewis Hamilton himself has downplayed all the difficulties as props and settings to make himself shine as the ultimate hero.
Even in a group of minorities, he was the only one who ran forward without hesitation.
His life itself is a triumphant narrative of a protagonist overcoming prejudice and discrimination, and it is an example of the emotion and value that sports can provide to humanity.
Furthermore, he is evaluated as the first athlete to break free from the limitations of his predecessors who were confined to the fence of a 5km long racing track, by directly confronting social issues such as environmental issues, racial discrimination, and animal protection and raising his voice.
Lewis Hamilton is a man who continues to expand his footprints in various ways, not only as a driver and racer, but also as a celebrity, influencer, social activist, and sports tycoon.
"Lewis Hamilton - Player 16" covers not only the extraordinary career of a world-class athlete, but also his personal story, offering a glimpse into the human side of Lewis.
The book follows Hamilton's career chronologically, beginning with his childhood days racing karts, then his F1 debut with McLaren, his rise to the youngest-ever world champion, and his rise to prominence with Mercedes.
The entire story of his life up until the moment he decided to move to Ferrari in 2025 and challenge himself to a second life is condensed into a clear picture.
The unique characteristics of F1, as well as interesting and unique knowledge and information, are presented in a structure that intertwines with the situation at the time, allowing readers to naturally increase their understanding of Lewis Hamilton and the motorsports he is involved in.
The author has incorporated multi-faceted information and stories into the book, including the top 10 races of Hamilton's life that revealed his presence, the correlation between racing car performance and player ability, fierce psychological warfare with rivals, political turmoil in the league, and comparisons with legendary predecessor Schumacher.
As a result, it provides a great opportunity for motorsports fans and readers to look back on the last 17 years of F1 history beyond the story of one player.
The author of this book is Kim Jae-ho, a motorsports expert who worked as a journalist and TV commentator and former secretary-general of the Korea Automobile Racing Association.
He played a key role in bringing Korea's first F1 Grand Prix to the public, and has been active in motorsports for over 30 years, having been at the forefront of promoting motorsports to the public since 1993, when car racing was still unfamiliar in Korea.
The Brainstore editorial department first thought of him as the author to work with on a new athlete series featuring Lewis Hamilton.
Author Kim Jae-ho highly praised Lewis Hamilton, saying, “He is the most iconic driver of this era, able to resonate with both traditional motorsports diehards and new fans who are just beginning to take an interest.” He also introduced the book’s protagonist as, “He is an iconic driver who has represented F1 over the past 17 years with an overwhelming career, but he is also a character with a wealth of charm as a human being and a celebrity.”
In addition, it found meaning and value in the fact that it is the first book in the Korean publishing industry to cover the life of an F1 driver, and it is expected that fans' interest will continue as it covers F1, motorsports, and Lewis Hamilton, who are rapidly gaining popularity through recent Netflix original documentary "F1, The Speed of Instinct."
