- Lewis Hamilton dedicated his superlative Belgian Grand Prix pole position lap to"superhero" Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther film star who died after a four-year battle with colon cancer on Friday.
"That was really weighing heavy on me today." Boseman's work celebrated African-American pioneers and culture. The second-highest grossing movie worldwide in 2018, it was hailed as a milestone for racial diversity. "He didn't look like me but I still thought Superman was the greatest. So when Chad became a superhero in Wakanda it was such a special day for so many people," added Hamilton, who met Boseman on a few occasions."I can imagine a young Black kid looking up and seeing that it's possible to be a superhero now." Hamilton, on 88 career victories, could overhaul Michael Schumacher's 91 wins this year and become, statistically, the greatest driver in F1 history.
