This sport is nothing without its fans. Ever since its inception, it’s the fanaticism of the people who live and breathe racing that has made F1 one of the most popular sports in the world. And every time one of us is troubled, the entire sport stands to lose much. Another thing that separates F1 from the rest is that it doesn’t matter how old you are. And recently, a three-year-old was given an experience of a lifetime courtesy of Lewis Hamilton & Co.
Sports Illustrated had earlier reported about F1 superfan Morgan, who was “tragically diagnosed with cancer at just two years old. He was due to go to the British Grand Prix next month, however, doctors sadly said he was not well enough to go. So, the Mercedes F1 team took an F1 show car with the W14 livery to his house.” But unfortunately, the fairytale heartbreakingly ended soon after that.
Being at the British Grand Prix would’ve been a dream come true for little Morgan. But the Silver Arrows ensured the young fan would still be able to enjoy the sport he loves and the team he follows, irrespective. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, Morgan couldn’t savor the memories for too long.
It’s being reported that “Sadly, the little one passed away earlier today in the care of his family. He was three years old, suffered from adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare disease with an incidence rate of one in a million.” [translated via Google Translate]
