The English honor was confirmed by the UK Embassy in Brazil and the House of Representatives, according to information from the channel. CNN Brazil. The ceremony will take place a few days before the start of the Sao Paulo GP, the penultimate stage of the Grand Prix Formula 1.
The tribute proposed by MP André Figueiredo (PDT-CE) was given on November 16, two days after Hamilton won the 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix. On this occasion, the Englishman started 10th and started winning at Interlagos. In celebration, the Mercedes driver used the Brazilian flag, mimicking Ayrton Senna’s gesture.
“Unfortunately, Brazil in recent years, which has been in a protracted crisis, mourning the hundreds of thousands of lives killed as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, has no good reason to celebrate national pride. It is for this reason that Hamilton’s gesture of color represented the entire Brazilian people. Our colors and our flag unite us and represent us in the world. We are a green and yellow nation, regardless of our differences and diversity,” the deputy wrote, justifying the allegiance.
