In a groundbreaking move that’s turning heads in the world of motorsport, Anthony Hamilton father of seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton has officially joined the FIA. Known for his unwavering support and guidance throughout Lewis’s meteoric rise, Anthony now takes on a new role off the track: helping shape the future of Formula 1 from within the sport’s governing body. His mission? To champion diversity, inclusion, and support for young racers from underrepresented backgrounds.
Anthony’s appointment comes at a critical time, as the sport reckons with long-standing issues of accessibility and equality. His personal journey from working multiple jobs to support Lewis’s early karting career, to standing beside his son through highs and controversies has given him a unique perspective on the barriers many aspiring drivers face. Now, he plans to use that experience to advocate for better support systems and fairer opportunities for all young talents trying to break into the sport.
This move signals a powerful extension of the Hamilton influence in F1 not just through victories on the track, but meaningful change behind the scenes. With Lewis continuing to race at the highest level and Anthony helping reform the system for future stars, the Hamilton name is poised to leave an even deeper legacy on Formula 1. The torch is no longer just being passed it’s being shared.
