In his latest video post, Mercedes driver Hamilton speaks to a bunch of students at Alperton Community School, England regarding winning mentalities and how they can be achieved through quality education. In the caption, he quotes Nelson Mandela saying “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Firstly, he gives a motivational talk to a group of students. This is regarding his life story and how he overcame challenges to become the person he is today. Something very similar to his interview with David Letterman. An episode where he spoke about the challenges of growing up in a family that constantly pushed him towards success.

He says, “I had a difficult time in school. My dad drilled into me a Never-Give –Up-mentality. I still have failures today. You are constantly gonna be learning.  Do not get affected by them. They are a part of your journey to success.”
