In a full interview from 2016 posted on Graham Bensinger's YouTube channel, [Lewis Hamilton](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/lewis-hamilton/) opens up about the journey from a one-bedroom flat in Stevenage to becoming a World Champion—he now has seven titles to his name. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1D13-GatMg8/hqdefault.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D13-GatMg8) He reflects on the pressure of being moulded to fit a particular image early in his career, and the controversial switch from [McLaren](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/mclaren/) to [Mercedes](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/mercedes/) that many predicted would end his chances of winning. Hamilton also discusses the emotional decision to part ways professionally with his father, who had held four jobs and remortgaged the family home to fund his karting dream. He speaks candidly about the physical toll of racing—losing ten pounds in a single race—what he actually sees at 200mph, and why he didn't even enjoy winning his first championship.
