hamilton topped that this year as well. ina in a sport that is quite an elite sport in many ways, it is totally non—diverse from an ethnicity point of view. for him to make this sort of view. for him to make this sort of stamp that he has made particular over the past 12 months i think is so over the past 12 months i think is so laudable and it is testament to the man that he is. he has been in that position for a long time as the only black formula i driver. why do you think, he has formed his own hamilton commission pushing for change in f1? he wants to see more diversity in the hiring of engineers, in the hiring of people in tech, in the hiring of people in pr and media. and he is doing it pretty much single—handedly. he has got mercedes to change from silver to black, specifically in support of equality for some he has got a number of the drivers to take a knee before every race. and he has made a number of stands when he was on the podium when he has one during his black lives matter t—shirt and a black lives mat

hamilton came with goodrich. they thought hamilton, goodrich, and david clark will have a contest. ilc went to nasa in protest saying, we got the short end of the deal when you forced us to team with hamilton. we want a second shot. nasa agreed. they learned their lesson and said you have six weeks. for six weeks around-the-clock, we had a few engineers and seamstresses to put the suits together. they busted their neck to put the suit together that you see. it turned out to be the winning suit. the other two did not have good mobility. there were a lot of issues. even our suit had issues, but issues that we knew could be fixed. when you design something new you start with something and then you develop it. you could see that the suit was more formfitting, tailored, the suit that we wanted from the beginning without the hamilton engineers telling us how to build it. in ended up being the lunar suit used for apollo seven through apollo 14 missions. it started out with what you saw previously. it did an outstanding job given the state-of-the-art technology at the time. it had poor wai

he and hamilton, jefferson and hamilton, became great foes, and i am sorry to tell you this, they even became great foes of washington. washington sided with hamilton almost on everything. and hamilton's idea was a strong central government. people like madison and jefferson would call him -- and so that was the fight and jefferson and madison did not want that, they wanted more power to the states, and so that was the fight and in the course of that fight, the first political parties were created, but a great enmity grew up as well. >> one of madison's high points, some of his high points and some of his low point all occurred at the same time and that was the war of 1812, as you alluded briefly to, i am wondering if you can expand on that, madison was initially opposed to this, and a couple of hawks who came in on the 1810 election, pushed him in that direction, yet in the end in analysis his handling of it was incredible, could you talk a little bit about the war president madison? >> it is interesting, adams, in the adams administration, there was a half war with france, and presid

formula one world champion leiws hamilton has lewis hamilton has won the prestiguos bbc sports personality of the year. his win — the second of his career — was announced at the end of a ceremony at the bbc headquarters in salford. he beat liverpool captain jordan henderson to win the award. andy swiss was there. the 2020 bbc sports personality of the year is lewis hamilton. he's no stranger to winning and, after a season in which he became formula 1's most successful driver, for lewis hamilton, one final victory. six years after he first lifted that famous trophy, he had done it again. please, everyone out there, go out and follow your dreams. to all the kids, please never give up on yourself. continue to believe in yourself, because you have what it takes to be great. inevitably, it was a very different show to normal. the only crowd in the studio was virtual, after a year in which sport has battled covid, but also brought inspiration. captain sir tom moore both receiving an award and presenting one — to nine—year—old tobias weller, who has cerebral palsy and walked two maratho

somehow lewis hamilton has won the british grand prix. crossing the finish line on just three wheels after suffering a puncture. and hamilton incredibly nursed his car around the track. it isn't just about the car and about the win, it's about the decisions that he's made along the way that makes him great. and that greatness was about to be confirmed on the algarve as hamilton passed michael schumacher‘s grand prix record, the ultimate overtaking. victory in portugal! a record—breaking 92 grand prix wins! it felt like '94 when the first time we won a carting championship, remembering the smile on his face and how excited he was. and here we are emulating the great michael schumacher and to have his son present lewis with a helmet was just a very humbling experience. you know, everyone asked me what would be it like if you win a seventh title? the man from stevenage comes across the line, wins the turkish grand prix and becomes the most successful formula 1 driver of all time! i definitely wouldn't have predicted that i would be hit w

washington sided with hamilton on almost everything. >> everything. >> and hamilton's idea was a strong central government. people like madison and jefferson called him a -- someone who wanted a kingly government and tell people what to do and keep the whole thing knitted together. that was the fight. and jefferson and madison didn't want that. they wanted a more power to the states. so that was the fight. and in the course of that fight the first political parties were created. but a great enmity grew up as well. >> right. some of madison's high points and low points occurred at the same time in the war of 1812 as you alluded briefly to. i wonder if you can expand on that. madison was initially opposed to this and a couple of hawks who came in on the 1810 election, the clays, the calhouns kind of pushed him in that direction. yet in the end the handling of it, even adams would admit, was incredible. could you talk about the war president madison? >> it's interesting. in the adams administration there was half war with france. presidents in those days, whether they were military men or

lewis hamilton is missing a grand prix for the first time in his iii—year career this weekend. coronavirus has kept him away from bahrain. george russell has been handed the world champion's mercedes car and in qualifying for the sakhir grand prix he was just edged to pole position by team mate valterri bottas. nick parrott reports. george russell is taking the biggest opportunity of his career in his dried. in 36 races, spanning two yea rs dried. in 36 races, spanning two years in formula i, dried. in 36 races, spanning two years in formula 1, his best qualifying position was 11. now he is in the championship winning mercedes, pole position was within his reach. he had never been outqualified by team—mate, but then he has never been in the same car as someone of the calibre is felt to rebut us. the finn went out first in the final session, setting the benchmark to beat. russell could not match it but red bull's and ferrari's leapfrogged match it but red bull's and ferrari's lea pfrogged both match it but red bull's and ferrari's leapfrogged both mercedes to the front row. wi

so hamilton and madison split the job. hamilton did more, a bit more than madison. they used a pen name for them. their pen name was published, named after the founder of the roman empire. probably as valeria's. that was not too unusual for the time to have a pen name. it was seen as a very statesman like educated persons way of communicating with a pen name. it was known of course, who the advocates for the new documents ... jefferson who again was not at the convention, did not sign the constitution, when he had a chance to read the federalist papers and these essays, he said quote, the best commentary on the principles of government which ever was written. let me read a few lines of the first federalist papers by alexander hamilton. this is how the federalists papers begin. after full experience, this is by alexander hamilton. after full experience of the insufficiency of the existing federal government, you are invited to deliberate upon a new constitution for the united states of america. the subject speaks of its own importance. comprehending and it's conseque

he and hamilton, jefferson and hamilton, became great foes. i'm so sorry to tell you this, they even became great photos of washington's. washington sided with hamilton on almost everything. hamilton's idea was a strong central government. people like madison and jefferson used to call him someone who wanted a kingly government that could tell people what to do and keep the whole thing knitted together. so that was the fight. jefferson and madison did not want that. they wanted a more power to the states approach. that was the fight. in the course of that fight, the first political parties were created. great enmity grew up as well. >> some of madison's high points and some of his low points all occurred at the same time, and that was the war of 1812. you alluded briefly to it. i wonder if you can expand on that. madison was initially opposed to this, and a couple of hawks who came in on the 1810 election pushed him in that direction. his mishandling of it was incredible, as ivan adams would in mid. can you talk about war president adams? >> i

hamilton -- i find it ironic that hamilton is a rap star now because in his time hamilton was arguably the most conservative right wing figure in american politics. almost a royalist. one step short of a royalist and jefferson was the opposite. so they clashed from day one. they were in washington's cabinet. hamilton was secretary of the treasury, jefferson was secretary of state. pretty good lineup, and they went at each other every day at cabinet meetings. jefferson once said that they were like two fighting cocks in a ring. after he became president, efferson did -- again this theme recurring here, but he did everything he could to dial back that sort of regal atmosphere, both in the way he conducted the government, and also in the way he presented himself and was kind of determined to defeat hamiltonisn, as he saw it. and the irony i think, with things different than they are now, jefferson kept a bust of hamilton in his study at monticello the rest of his life. so even though they were blood enemies, he respected him and knew what a brilliant man he was and that he had a very resp

in addition to madison, and hamilton and jefferson are in the cabinet. madison is not, but he is upholding washington's wishes in the congress. of course after one year, in 1790, this is the deal that all happens, they make the deal to move the capital to philadelphia for ten years, and then eventually to the federal city that they're creating on thebacks of the potomac. we think that room in mountpellier is where that happened. so philadelphia the largest and most koz poll -- cosmopolitan city in the nation. it has the biggest and most beautiful buildings. it is densely packed around the delaware river. the most buildings, the most people, the most cultural things going on. this is the city that assumes the predominance as the capital. and here is congress hall in philadelphia where the u.s. congress sits between 1789 and '97. and madison is in congress this whole time. we're going to leave madison in congress. we're going to go back and start again with dolly and see ho she gets to philadelphia in 1794 where she meets madison. dolley's biography is rea

hamilton's supporters would pass it around. these are people who were loyal to hamilton. one of the people involved with somebody who really cared about alexander hamilton. his children were trying to hunt this down. one of his sons would try to go to the house and be nice. he would say, why don't you turn over these documents? when that did not work, the other son came along and was very menacing and tough. that did not work. it took a long time. it was one of those stories where people were gossiping. how much of this is hamilton, how much of this is washington, washington had nothing to do with it himself. he was deceased at this point. washington did not claim authorship in the way that someone like kennedy did. it is an example that americans have always loved gossiping about presidents. even back in the 19th century. host: john kennedy's success seems to have, according to your book, inspired nixon to publish his own. when did he publish it? craig: he published it in 1963. host: we have a clip of nixon talking about the process of writing. let's watch that and come
