Lewis Hamilton was born in 1985. When he was six, his father gave him a radio-controlled car and he began to join in competitions, even against adults. From this very young age, Lewis's dream was to become a Formula 1 driver. So his father bought him a go-kart and he started the go-kart racing in 1993 when he was only eight years old. He won a couple of races, and he knew that he had to win more.
One day, when he was 10 years old, Lewis met a man called Ron Dennis. Dennis was the boss of the McLaren Formula 1 team. Lewis asked Dennis for his autograph, saying, "My name is Lewis Hamilton and one day I want to drive your cars." Ron Dennis wrote in his autograph book, "Phone me nine years from now, we'll sort something out." In fact, when Hamilton won his first go-kart championship a few years later, Ron Dennis phoned him, and in 1999 Lewis joined McLaren's "Young Drivers" programme. He was the youngest person ever to do this.
In 2001 world Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher raced against Lewis in a go-kart race and said, "He's a quality driver, very strong and only 16. If he keeps this up, I'm sure he will reach F1."
