He looks to be of mixed race to me so let us not call him black yet 'till he says what he is, ie, if he hasn't already.

Personal and early life

Hamilton's paternal grandparents emigrated to the United Kingdom from Grenada in the 1950s. His grandfather worked on the London Underground.[5] His mother Carmen, and father Anthony (who is now an IT consultant), named Lewis after the US Olympic gold medal winning athlete Carl Lewis.[6] They separated when Lewis was two. Lewis grew up with his father, step-mother and half-brother[7] Nicholas who suffers from cerebral palsy.
