Lewis Hamilton: Formula 1 Champ, Fashion Designer, Musician and now, Team Owner.

Updated: Sep 9, 2020

It boggles the mind. How does Lewis Hamilton find the time to pursue so many ventures, while still maintaining the focus to be arguably the greatest racing driver the world has ever seen?


The six-time F1 world champion, who is on course to his seventh crown, has been known to cut a different path when away from the mayhem of the Formula 1 paddock.


From writing music with Christina Aquilera to designing clothing with Tommy Hilfiger and everything in between. Lewis seems to have 48 hours in his day, so super-human is his work ethic.

So when it was announced this morning that he now has motorsport team owner to add to his resumé, world domination can't be far off.


X44 is the name of Hamilton's new venture, being the latest team added to the brand new racing series, Extreme E.


Extreme E is a mixture of the all electric racing series, Formula E and Dakar endurance rallying.


It will see specially designed, all electric, rally-raid cars, called the Spark ODYSSEY 21, compete in some of the most extreme environments across the globe.

The aim of the series, aside from the competition, is to raise awareness of the impact of global warming to natural environments, while also showcasing and developing sustainable technology for transportation of the near future.


There are currently eight teams signed up to this new series, including established names, such as Chip Ganassi, Andretti and Abt. Lewis Hamilton's X44 being the latest to the list.



The team name is derived from X, for Extreme, and 44 being Lewis Hamilton's career long race number.


The Extreme E Championship will begin on the 22nd of January 2021 in Senegal, with four rounds to follow in Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Greenland and Brazil.


The full list of drivers has yet to be announced, but don't expect Hamilton to be getting behind the wheel of his own machine.


Even the super-human have limits.
