Lewis Hamilton may not be excelling on the track this season but the Ferrari driver is surely making his presence felt in the lives of many who are in need of help and encouragement. He recently met the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss his Mission 44 initiative which works in the area of making the education system in the UK more inclusive. The UK PM also shared pictures with Hamilton from the day on social media.

Sharing a bunch of pictures from 10 Downing Street, Hamilton wrote on Instagram, “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.”
Sharing the conclusion of the meeting and more about his initiative, the Ferrari driver wrote, “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,” he added.
