Lewis Hamilton claimed the BBC prize after winning his seventh Formula One title while campaigning against discrimination.

The BBC's new Sports Personality of the Year Lewis Hamilton believes he has had "something different" driving him on in 2020.

The 35-year-old capped a memorable year on a personal level by winning the public vote for the prestigious BBC prize, after securing a record-equalling seventh Formula One title.

However, in a year notable for sports stars becoming effective campaigners in a wide range of areas, Hamilton's advocacy for the Black Lives Matter movement was just as important to him as his exploits on the track.

"Growing up as a kid I felt if it was a 100 metre race I started 50 metres behind everybody else," Rashford said on receiving the award.

"It was more difficult for me to do the basic things like getting to training, eat the right things, it was a nightmare of a situation to be in, but in the end I got to where I needed to get to.

"Once I got there I just had this thing that eats at me saying, 'Make sure you make a difference for the next generation'.

"I think as a country we should protect them as much as we can and give them the best chance at life and to become whatever it is they want to become."
