WhatsApp and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team are honoring F1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton with a new film titled Push, Push.

The film was released on Friday and finds Hamilton having a candid conversation with a group of teens, looking to dive into the many highs and lows of his career. Hamilton reflects on several things such as overcoming impossible challenges and how the love and support of his family, friends and teammates pushed him to be the successful man he is today.

"No matter where we're trying to go, we're going to get there, if we go together. Remember that, and nothing can stop you," Hamilton tells the teens in the film.

Hamilton celebrated the release of "Push, Push" with a screening at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, Texas, on Thursday.Following the screening, Hamilton joined F1 presenter Naomi Schiff for a conversation about thesport, life, and connecting to one's past to move forward in the future.

Hamilton also got some praise from Vice President Kamala Harris recently when she claimed she's a fan of him. In a press conference ahead of the US Grand Prix, Hamilton said the mention was "surreal."

"I was pleasantly surprised to hear that, I didn't know that she was a fan..just very surreal...kinda crazy that maybe in the white house they'll be watching Grand Prix," Hamilton told reporters.
