@Cleoriff did I ever mention that my dad is a motorsport photographer? He has covered F1 for many many years and since he's Brazilian, he was able to take pictures of Senna since the beginning of his career as a kart driver. Senna is a national hero in Brazil.

Yes you did tell me about your dad @RafaC . Hamilton is also a hero in Brazil. He has been offered Brazilian Nationality two weeks ago. They love him when he races there. So loyal to him.

@Cleoriff I didn't know he was offered Brazilian nationality, but you're right, Lewis Hamilton is well-beloved there 😊

[Cleoriff]

@RafaC  Actually it's Brazilian Citizenship and the story is here. Pele has messaged Lewis saying how happy he is.
