Lewis you’re not done yet. Work harder. More training. More sim driving. More meditation. Better food. You can still win another title of that I am sure. But are you willing to outwork them all. That’s the question
Good morning Sir Lewis Hamilton.
I have tried to get tickets for the F175 at the O2 arena for the 18/02/2025 but unfortunately I wasn’t successful.
The reason for the this was my daughter Abi lost her Grandad last year and they were both avid F1 fans and I thought it would be a lovely surprise for her turning 18 this year.
Anyway no worries just thought I would ask if you could possibly send her an autographed photo as she will not be able to get one in person.
Thank you for taking time to read this message and hopefully here back form you soon.

Hello
My son is your biggest fan! Our whole family has been watching your races, even my 4 year old is a fan! We live in Canada far far away from Montreal and it’s very hard to come by any F1 items around here! His birthday is coming up nwxt week and he would be ecstatic to have something / anything signed by you! I hope his dream comes true one day!
Hi Sir Lewis,
Congratulations for P3 Cingapura GP!
You had more pace than George, and maybe if he had let you through Mercedes would have had two cars in the podium!….
You are de Best F1 Driver!
Best Luck for Suzuka GP 2023!
Kind regards
You number one Fan from Portugal

Hi,Lewis) My name is Bozhena, I’m 16 and I am from Ukraine. I am writing to you to express my support and tell you just how much I believe in you. I’ve been a fan of Formula 1 for quite some time, and I’ve been your fan since day one. It was really special to see you on pole position again in Hungary, and I can’t wait for your next win.
As a Ukrainian I want to express my gratitude for supporting my country. It really means a lot to me and to the other fans from Ukraine to know that our favourite driver supports us in these difficult times.
I would be really happy if you choose to reply to this massage in any way)
Dear Sir Lewis Hamilton,
I realise now that you will never read this but I write this addressed you nevertheless. My name is Lloyd, a 15 year old girl who’s dream is to become an F1 driver. Unfortunately, I didn’t realise this dream until this year, so you could call me an incredibly late bloomer. But it was only because of you that I could understand that I wanted to race.
I remember the day as clear as a memory could be; it was a humid Tuesday in July and I remember walking into the living room after feeding my three dogs. My dad laid sprawled on the sofa asleep while my mother was inspecting her plants outside. I took a seat on the floor but what was playing on the TV caught my attention, it was a replay of one of your old races, specifically the British Grand Prix of 2019. I didn’t know what was going on at first but at some point I was so immersed in the race that I didn’t care if I understood it or not. All I was processing at the time was, “I want to feel the thrill of going that fast.” and “I want to know how it feels to win that.” and it was all I could think about for a while. So I started learning about it.
Unfortunately, my parents have no idea that I want to start racing, but I’ve done heaps and heaps of research and I don’t know how to tell them.
Ever since then you have not only been an amazing roll model but also a ginormous comfort to me. A handful of months later, I understand F1 fully and have become a Ferrari fan, but whether or not I support Mercedes- I support you, Sir Lewis Hamilton. I can’t really put this emotion into words but no matter what you were always there for me, whether I was happy or felt like I was the crud person in a situation, you were there to understand me. I want to thank you for that. Thank you for believing in me when no one else could or did. Thank you.
Kindest regards,
Lloyd Hart.
Dear Sir Hamilton,
My name is Stelios and I am 14 years old. I live in Drama in Greece and I am a very big fan of yours. I wanted to write you a letter with my own pencil. I hope that you and your family are doing good.
You are the best F1 driver in the world better than everyone else. You are the God in this sport. You have won seven world championships. This is amazing and I believe you will get another one sooner or later. I have been watching F1 since 2014 and since then I support you. I have watched all Grand Prix races, all the practices and qualifying sessions and all the races. This season did not start so well, but I believe that you will win this season title and you will have eight World Championships.
This weekend is the race in Miami. I hope that you will win this Grand Prix race.
I hope you will get this letter and you will read it. It would be my honour and I would be more than grateful if you reply to my email, as this is my biggest dream. I believe at the end of this season the name of this year’s World Champion will surely be yours.
Sincerely,
Stelios Xatziioannidis
Hello Lewis Hamilton,
How are you today? My name is Oghale Tessy Askia and I desire to be your fan… please do not ask why ?
Have a lovely day

Oghale
Dear Lewis,
It was a crazy year in Formule 1.
Please don’t give up.
Frankly I’m just about dumbfounded.
I have sent a message to F1, which I have kept polite, and I am sure many other F1 viewers and
fans will be totally disgusted with the F1 stewards and management.
I cannot ever remember being so disgusted with F1 as on Sunday, 12-December-2021.
What the stewards did to Lewis as an F1 7 times word champion, was turn the championship race
into a completely bad joke!
Seeing as Lewis had led from virtually start to finish due to him qualifying on better tyres for
the start of the race (Medium – yellow walled), and getting off the line quicker, and avoiding a
collision that once again Max Verstappen would have caused – never mind the warning he was given to avoid that, which only was avoided by our 7 times world champion taking avoiding action, who then handed back the time advantage, and yet still managed to eek out a gap over many laps, to be in a position to win the race. Standards I would be glad to see anyone achieve to be able to be held in high regard, as Lewis is, and should now be F1 championship winner.
Instead we were treated to the biggest F1 championship mockery I have ever seen, or could have
ever imagined.
For the stewards to TOTALLY nullify all that racing effort ON THE LAST LAP, seeing as Lewis had
been easily leading for 57 laps, to then just hand it over on a plate to Max Verstappen who had
just stopped for brand new softest (red wall) Pirelli tyres – along with taking the “train” of
cars that Lewis had had to overtake to get to the position he achieved at the head of those cars,
which offered some shield, as you would expect to be able to offer some protection from,
considering they were passed during the race – which were then just told to move out of the racing path so Max Verstappen could just sweep past totally unobstructed on his lovely new “shoes”.
I’m not watching F1 next year in 2022 if the decision to have Max Verstappen as champion remains as it is, as it is completely unfair, and not representative of the race itself.
F1 management and its stewards have entirely ruined this sport for me, and I have sent them a
message to that effect.
I have no kind regards for F1 Media, management, Liberty Media, or anyone else who supports those disgraceful actions that have brought this situation about, and don’t re-think their actions to be fair to Lewis – the real-world winner of the race IMHO.
I am all for fair racing, but that was a race that Max had lost until he dove in for new tyres and was handed the lead by removing all the car obstaceles that Lewis had had to pass during the race, which is exactly what Max should have had to do as well, and would not have been able to do in order to get up to, and try to get past Lewis in one lap.
The race should have been ended, seeing as there was just one lap to go, and why wasn’t it?
I thought percentages of a race counted for something, so what was the point of just allowing 1
lap after a safety car … oh I was forgetting, that would make it easy for Max to get past once the cars obstructing him were moved out of his way, seeing as he was on new tyres … silly me!
I hope this matter can be addressed post-race and a satisfactory race result, and championship
winner be swapped to the person who actually deserved to be the 2021 champion, and 8th time F1
World Champion, as it certainly wasn’t Max Verstappen.
kindest regards to all at Team Lewis Hamilton
i Lewis i have been a f1 fan for more than40 years. Going to the Grand Prix of Montreal for as long as 30 years in a row.
First of all it seems to me that formula one has changed a lot over the last few years with all kind of regulations and change over a race.
The race today reflects that again with a driver like Max Verstappen [ who for me has always been a dangerous and unfair driver on track] his director Christian
Horner talking to the FIA and others and obtain a change in the last lap.
I must say that I have never seen anything like that in formula one and it will be the last one for me they will never get me back again watching a race with that kind of crooks at the top.
Red bull must give a lot of money to that bunch of crooks to get their favours over the races , they have stolen the title this year.
Allowing the fight at the end with fresh tires for Red Bull and hold one’s for Mercedes’ was wrong and unethical.
Wishing you the best next year.
Christian from Quebec
Lewis,
Hi, I am Abbi and I am well 11 years of age. I started to watch you and your f1 races when I was 9, but 2021 has made me realise how much I look up to you. Every since I have watched races every weekend – when the races are on of course – I have cheered you on from my scruffy sofa. My whole family absolutely adores you and I have started to see why I do too. Nobody truly understands how much of a role model you are to me and how much I want to have a position in Formula Racing. My mind and soul has myself explaining to everyone that doubts you why you deserve the world. Myself and my family dream to see you driving in reality and not on our scruffy sofa, and my biggest dream is to hug you so much. I understand you will probably never even see this message, but I love you with everything I have.
– Abbi R

19/09/2021. Hi Lewis , big fan of the F1 racing. But just watch your back , from Verstappen? He is seriously Dangerous? After his nastyTrick at Monza , I certainly wouldn’t want him driving behind me?? He is so Big Headed , he thinks everyone has to move so he can get passed. And that nasty remark ,,” Thats what you get when you dont leave enough room’ In our opinion he should be Band from Racing for at least the next 5 Races,if this was to happen and Red Bull should also be given a Fine. And this was to happen , Maybe they wont be so Big Headed after that?? Please show this to Toto Wolfe . and the F1A bosses . And if they realise what the fans think , Maybe they will look into Maxs Behavour. Irene Roberts
Dear Lewis,
My almost 13 year old doughter is the biggest fan of yours( along with millions). Sophie adores you, as a driver and as a person. Needless to say she knows all the facts about you, thinks of you as a role model. Sophie was born in the US, then we use to live in South America for a few years. Currently we are in Hungary where my husband and I are from.
Sophie isn’t happy living in an ordinary life, but Covid happened…
Before she had an extreme life, was able to study online, so with this flexibility could ski at age 4 4-5 days a week, train to hike (her first fourteeners at 7, hike Grand Canyon in one day) bike (Utah,Co,Ca,Al) , surf in Monteñita,,,ect.
Sophie doesn’t ask for stuff, never has. Right now her only motivation is to study. She dedicated her summer because wants to skip a grade, and there are exams at the and of summer.
What may I ask of you? A few words, a birthday wish?
I know if you are able to you would, and with that you would make her entire year cheerful!
Thank you so much, wish you safe races.
Evi B
You are the greatest driver ever but, more importantly, a truly inspirational human being ??

Congratulations Sir Lewis Hamilton, you are a truly amazing person, i wish you all the very best in everything you do, stay safe and keep shining like the brightest star you are, thank you for every you do for your fan’s we love you xx?
Dear Mr. Hamilton,
my name is Diana and i am from Bulgaria. My husband Stoyko and I are big fans of you. We admire your devotion, passion and perfectionism in everything you do. You are just the best!
I write to you to ask you for a big favour. I’d like to surprise Stoyko with a video-greeting for the Cristmas holidays, sent by you. My initial idea was to ask you about such a surprise for his birthday as this year he turned 44 (your racing car number). Unfortunately i failed. I believe this must be the most emotional and unforgettable present ever!
I really hope that you will receive my letter and grant my request.
P.S. Congratulations for the 7th world cup and get well soon.
Best wishes,
Diana
hell what a blow that you wont be at barain so ticket sales will be down bigtime..i probabley wont even watch as you are the man and maybe watch to see your team mate the little blonde sensation…hope you fair well and maybe back for last race…greatest driver ever …t
Hi Lewis,
I have just heard that you have tested positive for COVID.
Please look after yourself, you are the best!
Lots of virtual hugs to you x
Respected Lewis Hamilton,
I’m your biggest fan. And also nspired on your attitude and professionalism.
Once you step in to your race track. You keep focused and more concentrated. And once you are back to personal life you always keeps smile and spread happiness to all people. MBE medal from Queen Elizabeth adding to your personal life. I like to be in my wedding function in your prestigious presence. Will you kindly provide your valuable time to attend the function.
Details I will intimate via mail.
Hello Lewis so proud of you , how you carry yourself and your discipline in racing. My husband is so with you over the year, he’s upset when he believes that, you have been treated unfairly and this has happened many times.
We are black couple, originally from the state of Mississippi, move to Canada in 2006 and now in the state of Vermont, my husband follow as best he can, with or without cable, he introduces you, to all he know.
People find is odd that he’s such a fan and has made me a big fan too.
Keep up the good fight in all that you do, you are never alone.
Best regards,
My daughter doesn’t like F1 but she likes what you are doing with BLM. During lockdown she has been trying to educate her children, 3 and 7, about this topic. She does lots of crafts with them, painting and glazing animals on flat stones. Right in the middle there is one that simply says, LH44 BLM. Very subtle and very good. Her name is Myfanwy Cormack. She is on WhatsApp. Keep up the good work Lewis.
Good evening Lewis, I’m Elizabethan, I live in Italy near Rome. I’m looking for it in every site, profile, never inscribed in my life in social media, first time and in fact I got cheated by fans who pretended to be pee te????.
I was sorry, but this also has experience
I signed up to meet you, but because my father was passionate about formula1, lu died a year ago and I didn’t have time to give him the joy of meeting you.
I’d like to meet you to get your autograph and take him to my father’s grave.
I know it’s a little unusual request, but I’d keep a lot of it.
Unfortunately I can not even come to The Mugello, to see her from afar, because my mother has health problems and moving pee several hours would be difficult, I do not put a neighbor, because since I lost my father, I understand that the parents are you
Enjoy them despite the many difficulties because I am alone, it is important.
I would like to know her not only for my father, also to talk about racism, protection for animals, fashion that since I was a child hit me, I wanted to make the model they told me that I had a face that captures, an elegant body, but for the sake of my mother I gave up, but I always keep following. Music makes my heart beat, as soon as I get up I put on headphones and I do gym at home or in the gym, I clean, I do the shopping anything, the music is with me, I like to dance
I like to dance and sing. Music is life. I love running with the car and I’d drive a maserati one day or lamborghini or Aston Martin. I’m not at his level, but I learn infities. There are so many things I’d like to ask you and share with you.
I hope one day God will listen to my prayer and know her.
Pee now greets her and I recommend that you win your seventh title, win it pee lei, for your gritty determination love for this craft. She’s a real cheetah when she drives wow. Grazie Lewis
