Lewis Hamilton was full of praise for the Williams sisters for the success they have achieved throughout their careers – as he praised Will Smith’s ‘amazing’ portrayal of their father in the biopic King Richard. The star siblings changed the landscape of women’s tennis, with their brutal baseline games and ruthless serving powering them to a combined total of 30 grand slam singles titles.
From humble beginnings in Compton, California, under the tutelage of father Richard, the pair overcame any financial shortcomings and racial barriers to become the masters of their craft. Hamilton, 37, has achieved great levels of success in his sport and fought through similar issues as his tennis counterparts to become the most successful F1 driver of all time.
