On the occasion of International Women’s Day, seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton penned down a beautiful letter on his Instagram, celebrating all the women in motorsports across the globe. And one of those trailblazers was Brehanna Daniels of NASCAR.

Brehanna Daniels made history when she became the first African-American woman over-the-wall tire changer in NASCAR history. Daniels came through the aid of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program back in 2017.

After being mentioned in the F1 legend’s post, Daniels took to Twitter to express her thankfulness. “Lewis Hamilton just posted me on his Instagram,” she tweeted.

Lewis Hamilton made a post with photos of the female pioneers in motorsports in the current scenario with a heartwarming note in its caption.

He wrote, “As I head into a week on the track, I wanted to take a moment this #InternationalWomensDay to celebrate several fearless women in motorsport who’ve chased their dreams and broken countless glass ceilings along the way.”

“We have a long way to go, but these are just a few people paving the way to creating a more diverse sport.”

“@cris_tortu is the first woman to win the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies. I’m also proud to call her a driver for @teamx44. @reemajuffali is the first Saudi Arabian woman to hold a racing license. She races on an international stage, even when her home country banned women on the roads until 2018.”
