Biography

Now a household name and an inspiration to many across the UK and beyond, Lewis's motorsport career started in 1993 when he was just 8 years old. By the age of 10 he had won his first British Karting championship. A further four British Karting championships followed in 1996 and 1997.

At the age of 13, Lewis was talent spotted and subsequently signed to the McLaren and Mercedes-Benz Young Driver Support Programme by McLaren Group Chairman and CEO Ron Dennis. The programme, established by McLaren and Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, provided Lewis with a long-term contract guaranteeing financial and technical support to help with his future motorsport career.

Lewis makes sure that he enjoys his time away from the track as well, spending time with friends and family.
