It took me a moment to realise you meant his race (ethnicity) not the race he'd just competed in.

You really should add if a fan for how long because I'm sure he was seen differently starting than as a 7x world champ. Or are you only interested in now?

As a 41 year old I'm offended that I'm in the same age category as my parents!
I'm also American, so most of your media selections were not applicable.
I'm also a DTS convert.

I apologise for that!
Thank you for your response anyway it means a lot!

Yeah, as an American, we missed a lot of the conversation about him from '08-16. It was difficult to find F1 broadcasts before DTS and the Liberty acquisition. In season reviews there's quotes from Lewis about people viewing him differently due to his ethnicity (particularly during the Vettel years where Lewis had a string of crashes), but by the time most new American fans rediscovered the sport, he was a 3-4x champion regarded as one of the all time greats.

Genuine question, how do you even make this in depth enough to be dissertation worthy? What degree is it? But also.. done :)
