Lewis Hamilton reveals touching reason for topless Abu Dhabi Grand Prix podium celebration

Five-time world Champion Lewis Hamilton has won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with a superb run from pole position. Hamilton has revealed the reason behind his topless celebrations. Asked about his celebrations, he told Sky Sports: “I’ve always kind of wanted to do it. I always wanted to show, ‘Still I Rise’. “I think it was a perfect moment because that’s really how it’s been this year. “I really would encourage anyone who doesn’t know what ‘Still I Rise’ is, it’s a poem out there, please go and read it.  It applies to anyone that’s stumbling and falling. Look at Billy Monger, he’s been a real inspiration to me this year. “I’m sure he’ll find it really strange because he probably looks up to me in the sense that he wants to be in Formula One.  But what he’s done and so many people who have gone through difficult times, who have stumbled and got back up stronger, that’s really what ‘Still I Rise’ is all about.  I’ve tried to be as big a spokesman as I can about it. That’s really why I did it.” 19-year-old British driver Billy Monger lost both of his legs in a Formula Four accident in April 2017 after a major crash at Donnington Park.
