The seven-time world champion officially received honorary citizenship on Monday at Brazil’s Congress ch💯amber in Brasilia in front of hundreds of delighted fans. 

Congressman Andre Figueiredo first proposed the move after Hamilton recovered from the back⛄ of the grid to claim a remarkable comeback victory in Brazil l♕ast year. 

Hamilton celebrated his third victory at Interlagos by waving a Br🔥azilian flag from his car on the in-lap and again on the podium. 

The Briton, who beat home hero Felipe Massa to win his first F1 world title in Brazil in 2008, dedicated the honour to his boyhood idol - legendary three-time Brazilian world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ayrton Senna. 

“It is honestly the greatest honour for me to be here receiving and accepting the citizenship,” said👍 Hamilton.

“I really do feel like now I’m on💯e of you, finally.

“When I arrived here in 2007, the love that’s grown through the experiences we’ve had, and partic꧑ularly 2021, knowing you guys would cheer me on the way was one of the most special moments of my entire life.”

Lower House Speaker Arthur Lira described Hamiltꦐon as “a Briton b🌜y birth and a Brazilian by heart” and called him “a hero for all Brazilians”. 

Lira added: “Brazilian 𓄧role models like Senna and Hamilton make us sure that every Brazilian can overcome challenges and win the races in life. I hope you return many times to this country that is also your country now."

Hamilton has just two races remaining in F1 2022 to keep his recor🗹d of winning at least one grand prix in every season he has competed intact, with Me🍸rcedes facing their first victory-less campaign since 2011.
