The summer of 2022 was marked by a series of Supreme Court decisions that fundamentally altered our cultural and political landscape, from Miranda rights to the EPA to bodily autonomy. On that note, as much as we love to look forward to the fall slate, it feels particularly important this September to acknowledge the darkness preceding it. The pleasures and personalities in this September issue abound: a star-studded feature on Mario Carbone and his celebrity-magnet restaurants the first interview with Audrey Gelman since her dizzyingly successful start-up The Wing suffered its equally dizzying decline and fall an archive dive into irresistible, never-before-seen correspondence from Eve Babitz to literary frenemy Joan Didion and an in-depth interview with post–prime time Rachel Maddow, who is downshifting her presence as the face of MSNBC at arguably the precise moment when her audience needs her most, on the eve of extremely consequential midterm elections.
Here he speaks without reservation of his disappointment after a controversial call that cost him a deserved win, of the friends who pulled him out of despair, and of the fortitude that brought him to the pinnacle of achievement in the first place-the same fortitude, mixed with a healthy dose of rebellious spirit, that now carries him through. Formula 1 is huge in Europe and growing its profile in the U.S., thanks in part to Netflix’s gripping series Drive to Survive, and Hamilton is in a class of one when it comes to his racing bona fides but also his grace and sportsmanship, in victory and in defeat. No, this was about being hamstrung by two-way traffic and junctions and impatient road hogs, navigating the twisty roads outside the picturesque town of Èze in the South of France, where he talked to Chris about his tumultuous season and what’s to come.
Not on the racecourse, to be clear-there he channels the joy and dedication of an athlete who found the exact thing he was born to do (one thinks of Serena Williams on the tennis court, Simone Biles on the gymnastics floor). Of all the surprises in Chris Heath’s mesmerizing cover profile of the Formula 1 icon Lewis Hamilton, the one that charmed me most is that Hamilton dislikes driving.
