Year 7 kart driver Sam follows in Lewis Hamilton’s tyre-tracks!

He is now part of F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo’s Young Driver Academy.

There is a pit crew and mechanic looking after Sam and his kart while he is professionally racing at British Motorsport events around the country!

Recently he met senior McLaren officials and tried out one of the fastest McLaren racing cars. He is making excellent progress and clocking in times to contend with race leaders.

Karting was Lewis Hamilton’s launchpad into F1 racing – how soon before Sam is in pole position?
