Lewis Hamilton is one of my favourite athletes, his achievements in F1 are incredible as well as the racial barriers that he's overcome and broken down. I decided to highlight some key facts about Lewis through the background images and paint strokes. The number 44 represents his current car number and the 4 red strokes above it are for his 4 world championships at this time. The colour purple stands for royalty because he is the king at what he does and has gained a lot of influence and respect globally because of it. The black stands for his team and the yellow, blue and green stand for his helmet and is a small tribute to his Brazilian hero the 3-time F1 world champion Ayrton Senna.
