There’s a common belief that is also a mantra for success- work hard and dream big — and Lewis Hamilton‘s story is a true testament to the power of perseverance and the idea that dreams never die. And one such reflection was recently shared by Mercedes in a heartwarming illustration where we can see a young Lewis staring at the team’s 2023 challenger, W14, through a glass. 

The car is numbered 44, Lewis’s iconic symbol, and little Lewis just stands in awe with a controller of a remote control car hanging in his little hands. You can identify the iconic purple and black jacket, piercing through all the struggles that he endured on his way to Formula 1.
