MSA praises Lewis Hamilton after first win
“On behalf of the Motor Sports Association –
the governing body of motor sport in the UK – I am delighted
to congratulate Lewis Hamilton on his maiden F1 victory, becoming
the 19th British driver to win a race in the FIA Formula One
World Championship.
“Lewis’ start to the F1 season will not have
surprised the many people who have witnessed his development
over more than a decade in the UK’s junior formulae.
His path to the top has included all the major stepping stones
from karting through to single-seaters and his championship
pedigree has been displayed throughout.
“No fewer than nine of the current F1 drivers learned
their trade in the UK’s domestic championships and Lewis’
success will bring further credibility to the UK as the world’s
best proving ground for young drivers.
“I am sure that this will be the first of many Grand
Prix victories for Lewis. UK motor sport could not ask for
a better ambassador and we wish him well for the remainder
of the season and throughout his career.”
Colin Hilton, MSA Chief Executive
