IWC Ambassador Lewis Hamilton Awarded Laureus Award

Lewis Hamilton was recently awarded the Laureus Athlete Advocate of the Year Award at the 22^nd edition of the Laureus World Sports Awards. Seven-time Formula One^TM World Champion Hamilton received the honour a virtual awards ceremony, which was presented from the Spanish city of Seville.

Every year, IWC and Laureus Sport for Good celebrate the achievements of sportsmen and women at the Laureus World Sports Awards. During the evening, seven-time Formula One^TM World Champion Lewis Hamilton was presented with the Laureus Athlete Advocate of the Year Award. This award celebrates the work of athletes who have harnessed their influence as elite sportsmen and women to bring change to the world around them and who have inspired a new generation to tackle inequality and injustice. Hamilton clinched a record-equalling seventh Drivers’ Championship late last year, driving for IWC’s longstanding partner, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. The Briton’s remarkable achievements on the track have been matched by his increasingly powerful stance on racial justice and social and environmental issues.

IWC has been a longstanding partner of Laureus Sport for Good since 2005. The winners on the night are chosen by the votes of the 71 members of the Laureus World Sports Academy.
