NOT JUST MOTOR SPORT
A"Alea iacta est". The die is cast. There is no turning back. The images speak more than the words. Behind our story there is much more than just a "click". There is the dedication to what has been, is and will be our first love: motorsport. But our narration in images does not stop at the two and the four wheels: we like the dynamism and the style that lies behind every single sport. Hence our choice to be "Not Just Motorsport": we do not want to be tied to a single category, but show you the variousfacets of sports, from preparation to action. "Not Just Motorsport"embodiesthisphilosophy.Enjoy!

#LEWIS HAMILTON
Lewis Hamilton is not just one of the most successful Formula 1 drivers in history. He is a symbol of determination, defying conventions, and a passion that goes beyond the racetracks. The first World Championship in 2008, achieved with McLaren, was the peak of a season where he fought until the very last breath against Felipe Massa in one of the most thrilling finals ever. A masterpiece of strategy and nerves of steel, which earned him a place in the elite of legendary drivers. But Hamilton?s true greatness only emerged with his move to Mercedes in 2013: his dominance with the German team, starting in 2014, coinciding with theintroduction of hybrid engines, led him to win six World Championships over the next decade, bringing his total to seven, equaling Michael Schumacher's record. Hamilton showed the world that there are no limits, except those we set for ourselves, and every oneof hisvictoriesisatestament tothisphilosophy.But perhaps his real greatness lies in his continuous evolution, his desiretochallengehimself,topush beyond hislimits,and tonever settle. And while the world of Formula 1 evolves, Hamilton remains the driver who has written his story indelibly, unafraid tobreak themold and alwayslook beyond thehorizon.

There is something fascinating in the possibility of transcendingourselvesthrough themachine. Perhaps it is the idea of a future where humanity is no longer bound by biological limits, where the mind and body can evolve beyond what we know. And in this relationship between man and machine, there is somethingdeeper than just amatter of progress:it isa reflection on our very existence, on our place in a rapidly changing world, and on how ready we are to accept that we will no longer be the same. The machinebecomesnot just a"tool,"but akind of mirror, something that reflects a part of us that, perhaps, we had never seen before. In sports, the machine, the mechanical tool,allowsustoexplorenew possibilities, both outside and inside our perception.
