Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has been leading several social causes, including efforts to help create a more inclusive education system. As part of his Mission 44 initiative, he met with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer, to support the government in setting up a framework that would help students succeed in schools, regardless of their background. Mission 44 was set up four years ago to help students and ensure they don't face the same challenges Hamilton experienced in his school days. The Briton also met Secretary of State for Education Bridget Phillipson at 10 Downing Street to discuss reforms that could be introduced in the education system. The government of the UK revealed its commitment to the social cause by developing a framework that includes exploring ways to increase school funding across the board, improving mental support for students, and hiring more teachers in classrooms.

He's inspired generations and is now using that influence on this project and is designed to make a real difference in the lives of young people across the country." Hamilton shared a post on Instagram, talking about his struggles at school and confirming the government's commitment to the initiative. He wrote: "The future of education must be inclusive. "Today, myself, @mission44, our partners, and some incredible students met with the UK Prime Minister for an important discussion on how we can make sure all young people are supported to succeed in school, regardless of their background. I struggled in school and never felt like my voice was heard, so I know firsthand that ensuring every student feels they belong in school is vital. "I'm grateful that off the back of this meeting, the government has committed to working with Mission 44 to enact change focused on making the education system more inclusive. I'm so proud of how far M44 has come in such a short space of time and the opportunity we have to transform the lives of vulnerable students across the country. "I encourage everyone to head to the Mission 44 website to find out more about today's announcement and support our work. We can create a fairer, more compassionate world, together." The Prime Minister replied to his post. He wrote: "Great to meet you today. Looking forward to working together to make sure every young person has the chance to thrive."

F1 Champion Addresses Lewis Hamilton's 'Horrible' Situation at Ferrari
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Formula One world champion Nico Rosberg, who was also Lewis Hamilton's teammate at Mercedes, has commented on the seven-time world champion's stint at Ferrari that began this year, and his performance at the Spanish Grand Prix. Hamilton started the race in P5 but finished one place below in P6. The race in Barcelona saw him struggle due to the lack of rear traction on his Ferrari SF-25 F1 car. Making the situation more complex was a slow pit stop. Hamilton's teammate Charles Leclerc started the race from seventh on the grid and secured a podium finish in third place. Hamilton described the Spanish GP as the "worst race" ever in a seemingly subdued tone in the post-race interview. Rosberg, who is also a Sky Sports F1 commentator, shed light on Hamilton's troubles during the Spanish GP and described his Ferrari journey thus far as a "very dark situation." He said: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari on the grid during the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco at Circuit de Monaco on May 25, 2025 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco.

Sunday was a horrible day for him because he was just slow out there, which is very unusual. "Yes, sometimes he's off in qualifying, but in races he's usually really awesome and the race was shockingly bad. He doesn't have answers either. "Was there damage on the floor? These floors are so sensitive and there can always be a bit there and you lose a lot of time. "When you don't have any answers, it's really tough as a driver. Then you see your team-mate race their way to third place on the podium. "In light of the whole season he's had so far, it's a very dark situation." The 40-year-old driver's concerns with his SF-25 were heard over the team radio after he had crossed the chequered flag. Speaking to his race engineer Riccardo Adami, he said: "I believe we've got something wrong with this car, mate. It's the worst it's ever been." Hamilton's mood after the race was evident through his brief answers. He branded the race weekend as, "the worst race I've experienced. Ever." Speaking to Sky Sports F1 later, he said: "I've just had a terrible day. I don't know what to say."

Oscar Piastri of Australia driving the (81) McLaren MCL38 Mercedes on track during practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco at Circuit de Monaco on May 24, 2024 in Monte-Carlo, to Watch Monaco Grand Prix Date: Sunday, May 25, 2025 Time: 9:00 AM EDT Channel: ABC Stream: Fubo (Try for free) Three of the most prestigious motorsports races take place on Sunday, and they all begin in Monaco with the Monaco Grand Prix. Track position was especially important in 2024. Charles Leclerc took the pole and went on to lead all 78 laps, while the top 10 drivers on the starting grid all went on to finish exactly where they began. It was an unprecedented lack of passing. Don't expect things to be quite as calm this year. F1 is mandating that all teams make two pit stops instead of just one, which could shake up strategies and lead to a little more shuffling throughout the field. This season has been a three-driver race, with Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Max Verstappen taking home all the victories so far in 2025. Piastri leads Formula 1 with four wins, and he currently leads the standings while Norris is second and Verstappen is third after taking his second win of the season last weekend.
