A press release from Apple said "Hamilton has blazed an uncharted trail professionally, socially and culturally, and transformed the sport on a global scale."
"Coming from a working-class family, Lewis succeeded in a sport where the odds were stacked against him but where his talent shone through, allowing him to dominate the sport for over a decade."
"Hamilton is currently the only Black driver to race in the Formula One series."
"He embraced what made him different and his rise to the top of his career has made him fiercely committed to using his platform to influence positive change for future generations."
The Lewis Hamilton documentary joins Apple's slate of non-fiction and sport, including a documentary series about Magic Johnson and the exclusive rights to Friday night Major League Baseball games.
