"Talent is everywhere, opportunity isn't and that's what we're here to change. Setting up Mission 44 is one of the things I'm most proud of, Hamilton says, reflecting on the foundation he created five years ago."
"Mission 44 came about because Hamilton was acutely aware of the lack of representation of black people and those from disadvantaged backgrounds in motorsport."
"Focusing on grassroots investment to make education more inclusive and to help young people into Stem careers, there have been 550,000 young people involved across the world and 50,000 helped specifically in the Stem and motorsport areas, with over 9m awarded in grants."
Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time Formula One world champion, emphasizes that his Mission 44 foundation is his most significant legacy. Established to address the lack of representation of black individuals and those from disadvantaged backgrounds in motorsport, the foundation supports schoolchildren facing poverty and promotes STEM careers. Hamilton invested £20 million into the initiative, which has engaged 550,000 young people globally and awarded over £9 million in grants. The foundation focuses on grassroots investment to create inclusive educational opportunities and inspire future generations in motorsport.
