W Series, the all-female single-seater racing championship is motorsports’ answer to comments like ‘women can’t race.’ Over the years, this series has gained huge popularity, and it has given us many bright racing personalities like Jamie Chadwick and Alice Powell. Now, the series has partnered with Puma to release the W Series x Puma collection. Rising W Series star Naomi Schiff was interviewed for this, and when asked about her favorite racing role model, she instantly named Lewis Hamilton.

Naomi Schiff talks about her racing hero Lewis Hamilton

Naomi Schiff, the Rwandan-German driver, won the 2014 Clio Cup Asia Championship and the KTA X-bow GT4 Championship. A bright star in the racing world, Schiff has always advocated the need for inclusion in motorsports. Thus, quite unsurprisingly, she looks up to arguably one of the best racing drivers in history – Lewis Hamilton.

When asked about her racing hero, Schiff said, “Since I was very young, I’ve looked up to Lewis Hamilton. He was, for me, the only, call it ‘identifiable’ role model that I had in my career, so he held a special place in my heart and you know, I have always been motivated to do as well as he’s done, and hopefully be that identifiable role model to someone else, thanks to him.”
