This is a magazine cover from the official Formula 1 Magazine. This specific issue was from December 2020.
The model in question is formula one Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton gives this front cover representations of a minority group. Hamilton was born to a mixed-race family in Stevenage. His parents immigrated from Grenada in the western indies in the 50s. Therefore, it could be argued that by choosing Lewis Hamilton to model this issue is not only attracting the Formula one fans, but may also drive in fans of a similar background to Lewis.
The title "Still I rise" is placed in all bold. This suggests that Hamilton is a prominant figure in the Formula one scene. However, by placing the text below Hamilton it is making the focus more on him and that thousand yard stare. It seems that Hamilton is looking at the reader and addressing them directly.
