Lewis Hamilton named GQ’s game-changer of the year

The game-changer of the year’s award has been given to Lewis Hamilton.

He will be honored at the GQ’s men of the year awards which is set to take place virtually on Thursday, December 3rd, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Hamilton will mark his award win in GQ’s upcoming January/February issue.

After he won his seventh world championship earlier this month, his award came, which saw him equalling Michale Schumacher’s F1 record.

35-year-old British sportsman, who has been an active voice in the fight against racism, opened up about his own experience with racism.

Speaking about his younger years, he said: “I started experiencing racism when I was five and people looked upon it so lightly when someone would throw out these words, the bullying, and the beatings and the intimidation.

My dad always said, ‘Do your talking on the track,’ so I held my tongue, but we suppress a lot of things and all my suppressed emotions came up and I was like, ‘You know what? I have to do something. I cannot stay silent. If we all stay silent, it will continue for generations. I look at my niece and nephew and do not want them to experience what I experienced.”

 

35-year-old Hamilton also vowed to continue to speak and stand up for others.

He added while speaking in the January/February 2021 issues of GO, he believes it is important enough, I will. I will do it again, every weekend that I arrive we have the sport light on us and every weekend there is an opportunity to raise awareness.

Regarding Lewis’s game-changer award, GQ’s editor Dylan Jones praised the sports star and recognized his efforts in calling out racial injustice and inequality in society.

Despite winning more races than anyone else across an impressive 14 seasons in Formula One, it’s Lewis Hamilton’s action of the circuit that makes him GQ’s Gamechanger of the year

The pastor explained in an Instagram video that, despite what is commonly believed, men need women by their sides in addition to their marriages.
He disclosed the four key reasons for side chicks’ importance.

The first explanation offered by the pastor was stupidity. He said that having side chicks is the finest way for a man to look dumb.

In response to a question about why guys are still searching for Coke after they have one, he pointed out that Coke in a bottle, can, or plastic is still Coke.

He identified premature death as the second reason why males require a side chick.

According to the preacher, a guy who wishes to pass away too soon must overwork his heart and stuff his body with unnecessary items.

He mentioned shame and embarrassment as additional reasons. A man who enjoys dishonor and shame, according to him, needs a side chick because that’s what he will eventually get.

According to him, a man should only require a side chick if he enjoys difficulty and turmoil.
