A press release from Apple said "Hamilton has blazed an uncharted trail professionally, socially and culturally, and transformed the sport on a global scale."

"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."
