Hamilton congratulates junior Mercedes star

Despite a disappointing display on track at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix recently, Hamilton quickly found a pick-me-up, reveling in the success of a Mercedes junior driver.

The British star took to Instagram to commend Kenzo Craigie, who is part of the Mercedes junior program, following his success in becoming the 2024 FIA karting world champion in the OK-Junior category.

Born in the UK in 2010, Craigie joined the Mercedes Junior Programme for 2023, having shot to the top of the British karting scene. The program has produced some of motorsport's finest talents including Esteban Ocon, George Russell and most recently, Hamilton's own replacement Kimi Antonelli.

Hamilton commented underneath the post: "Incredible drive, well done 👏🏾👏🏾," before then sharing it to his story.

On his story, Hamilton expressed how it had made him feel: "Seeing this has made my day. Well done, keep going."

If the young Mercedes star can follow in the footsteps of his hero, the future of F1 could be in safe hands.
