Hamilton has a soft corner for Brazil as well and thus, he was made an honorary citizen of the country last year. Speaking highly of its diverse and colorful culture, and the place where he won his first world championship, the seven-time-world champion spoke highly of Brazil to the media:

“Brazil has always been a place that I’ve loved and admired as a kid.

“Obviously following Ayrton [Senna] you’re naturally drawn to the country but through my life, just meeting more and more Brazilian resilience and knowing more about the culture and the community and it’s very, very diverse there.

“There’s a lot of energy, music, colour and I’ve had over the years amazing times there. I won my first World Championship in Brazil and 14 years later, whatever it is, the epic race that I had there last year and the moment I had with the Brazilian flag, so that’s my biggest following is in Brazil.

“So I’m very, very honoured and grateful and can’t wait to spend more time there.”

Congressman Jhonatan de Jesus of the Brazilian Republican party expressed that Hamilton had a “deep and strongly emotional” bond with his second home country. He told the media:

“His gestures add to his indisputable sporting merit. His public positions in support of relevant issues such as the environment, animal rights, Black people, women and human rights must also be remembered and highlighted,”
