HAM from his recent interview in NYC with Gail King promoting the Miami GP
"For me, this whole journey has been massively emotional. Just because I have so much love for this team. I'm not leaving because I'm unhappy there. I'm not leaving because of relationship issues," explained Hamilton, adding that he loves the brand. "They've been with me through thick and thin. So, it's definitely a strange transition at the moment."
The racing champion said he's faced some tough challenges over the past few seasons but that hasn't stopped him from remaining competitive.
"We exist to win. And when you're not winning, your perspective has to shift. And it's just then about chasing and it's about improvement. It's about coming together. How can we make improvements? How can we get back to where we want to be? And rallying everyone up. I actually really enjoy that experience," Hamilton said.
Hamilton often shares motivational messages with young fans, encouraging them to "dream the impossible."
"What was your impossible dream?" King asked Hamilton about his own goals.
"Getting to Formula 1. Winning a world championship," Hamilton responded. "Having a platform to connect with people in a positive way. I never thought that I would be a part of creating more diversity within the sport, within the industry, within companies that I work with. I think you dream as big as you can. And you can have as many dreams as you want, and chase 'em all."
Which reminds me of a long-standing question about Hamilton: why does he wrap his left hand over the steering wheel during starts and restarts?
He does it all the time, as if he is covering up some magic juice button or something.
There were a couple of articles written about what he does with his hands at the start. If I’m remembering correctly, he said it helps him actuate the hand clutch.
If you Google “Lewis Hamilton start procedure” the articles might come up.
I did notice that left hand high up on the steering wheel for HAM, but was too distracted adding up all the seconds Kevin Magnesson had accumulated in penalties, that I forgot all about it. LOL.

You can love Lewis, hate him, or just be indifferent, but you have to respect that he got to the top of the pinnacle of motorsports from a very modest background.
Imagine doing donuts on 5th Avenue and the NYPD is there to help you! It is impressive.
