He was inspired by Ayrton Senna, nurtured by Ron Dennis, and wooed by Niki Lauda to replace Michael Schumacher. Lewis Hamilton's star has ascended with the help of some rather special people.
None, however, can have foreseen the degree to which the journey from Stevenage to superstardom would take Britain's most successful grand prix driver of all time far beyond the fame afforded to your typical Formula 1 world champion.
