F1 Driver Lewis Hamilton on His Love for RC Cars | CompetitionX

7-Time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton was actually quite the RC Racer when he was a kid. In this video, he talks a little about his days in RC, how it taught him about mechanics and maintenance and how it steered him towards a path that ultimately led to his Formula 1 career.

We’ve said it all along – RC teaches kids (well, anyone actually) those exact trades plus a bit about Sportsmanship. It’s ok to lose, but do it graciously, and use what you’ve learned to step up your game at the next event.

Obviously it worked for Hamilton.

Here’s the video. Enjoy.
