Anthony Hamilton, the father behind the driver's seven Formula 1 world titles and 94 Formula 1 Grand Prix race wins
Anthony Hamilton has been part of his son's success as Formula 1 world champion.
It all began in Christmas 1993, when Anthony bought his son Lewis a kart, before Anthony allowed Lewis to compete in the junior national karting championship in 1995, when Lewis won the cadet title in 1996, won the Formula Yamaha title in 1997, but lost the premier-class junior intercontinetal A (JICA) title in 1998 to Fraser Sheader.
Anthony continues to manage Lewis until Lewis' debut in Formula 1 in 2007 with McLaren, the team who helped Lewis into his successful karting career. He (Anthony) also helped Lewis to win his first world title in 2008.
But it all went wrong from 2009 until his departure from McLaren in 2012. Lewis' relationship with American singer Nicole Scherzinger causing his title winning chances disappeared, so Anthony called Lewis to reject his (Lewis) relationship with Scherzinger and it did in late 2013, which currently she (Nicole Scherzinger) engaged former rugby player Thom Evans.
Apart from managing Lewis to win his six more F1 world titles, Anthony is also busy of managing his 2nd son Nicholas, who currently racing in the British and German touring car championships with cerebral palsy.
