Lewis Hamilton's association with Brazil could be set to get stronger with the F1 icon on the verge of becoming an honorary citizen.
Hamilton, 37, has never made any secret of his love for the South American country, and has regularly sported racing helmets with its national colours on when racing at Interlagos. After winning at the venue in 2021, he took a Brazilian flag with him onto the podium.
Explaining his helmet design last year, Hamilton said it was a tribute to the legendary Ayrton Senna, who he described as his "greatest inspiration" in F1. It was the way he raced, his passion for life and for the sport," he said.
