Lewis, moved by the sentiment, explained why he includes everyone in his achievements.

“I know that I couldn’t have gotten here on my own… I have this huge group of people behind me who are not in the limelight, they’re not all at the track, and for me, it’s important for them to know that I know I couldn’t have had this result if it wasn’t for them.”
