>> pelley: after 40 years and a little to show for its war on drugs. there's a new outbreak in the heroin epidemic. if it's time for a change, it more different than michael botticelli. the president's new director of national drug control policy he's lucky he didn't go to jail himself. and we knew that things had changed the first time we used the nickname that comes with his job, the "drug czar." >> michael botticelli: it's like. >> pelley: why? >> botticelli: because i think it connotes this old "war on drugs" focus to the work that we do. it portrays that we are clinging to kind of failed policies and failed practices in the past. >> pelley: are you saying that the way we have waged the war on drugs for more than 40 years has

wrong. >> pelley: blunt force didn't knock out the drug epidemic. 21 million americans are addicted to drugs or alcohol, and half of all federal inmates are in for drug crimes. >> botticelli: we can't arrest and incarcerate addiction out of people. not only do i think it's really inhumane, but it's ineffective and it costs us billions upon billions of dollars to keep doing this. >> pelley: so what have we learned? >> botticelli: we've learned addiction is a brain disease. this is not a moral failing. this is not about bad people who are choosing to continue to use drugs because they lack willpower. you know, we don't expect people with cancer just to stop having cancer. >> pelley: aren't they doing it to themselves? isn't a heroin addict making that choice? >> botticelli: of course not. you know, the hallmark of addiction is that it changes your brain chemistry. it actually affects that part of your brain that's responsible for judgment. >> pelley: that is the essence of michael botticelli's

patients, not prisoners. he did it in massachusetts as director of substance abuse services. there, his initiatives included a high school for teens in recovery, and expanding drug courts, like this one in washington, d.c., where offenders can choose treatment over jail, and the charges can be dropped. ( applause ) you know that there are people watching this interview and they're saying to themselves, "oh, great. he wants to open the jails and let the drug addicts out." >> botticelli: i think we have to base our policy on scientific understanding, you know, and we've had really great models and evaluated models to show that we can simultaneously divert people away from our criminal justice system without an increase in crime. and it actually reduces crime. >> pelley: botticelli pursues reform with the passion of the converted because he, himself, is recovering from addiction. back in 1988, he was a university administrator whose

botticelli was drunk. in truth, he'd been drunk for years. did you love drinking? >> botticelli: i would say that i probably had an unhealthy love affair with drinking. you know, i grew up as this kind of insecure kid, you know, kind of making my way. and, you know, drinking took all of that away, you know? people drink and do drugs for a reason, because it makes them feel good, you know, until it doesn't anymore. >> pelley: is it true that, after the accident, you woke up handcuffed to a gurney? >> botticelli: i did. i did. and, you know, you think to yourself, "how did i get to this point, you know, in my life?" >> pelley: that point included imminent eviction from his apartment because the booze had washed away all the money. >> botticelli: a very wise judge said to me, "michael, you have two options: you can either get care for your drinking problem, or we can continue with criminal proceedings." >> pelley: it was at that point that you walked into this church

down in the basement? >> botticelli: yeah, i did. >> pelley: what was that first meeting like? >> botticelli: it's hard for me to talk about this, and not from a sense of sadness. from a sense of tremendous gratitude. this was the first time that i raised my hand and said that i was an alcoholic and that i had a problem. and what the miraculous thing about that movement is that people rally around you in ways... you know, addiction is such an isolating incident in your life. you feel alone. and, you know, when you admit... when you come into a fellowship like this and people just surround you and say, "we will help you, that you're not alone, that we've been through it before, and you will get through it," just gives you such great hope. >> pelley: he's been alcohol- free for 27 years. today, he oversees a $26 billion

agencies. just over half of the money goes to drug enforcement. what do you say to those who argue, and there are many, that if you lock down the southern border, you solve the drug problem? >> botticelli: i think it's overly simplistic to say that any one single strategy is going to really change the focus and change the trajectory of drug use. >> pelley: for example, he says the heroin crisis was created here at home. >> botticelli: we know one of the drivers of heroin has been the misuse of pain medication. if we're going to deal with heroin and heroin use in the united states, we really have to focus on reducing the magnitude of the prescription drug use issue. >> pelley: many pain drugs are opioids, like heroin. and the number of opioid prescriptions has risen from 76 million in 1991 to 207 million today. >> botticelli: we have a medical community that gets little

training on addiction, and quite honestly has been promoting and continues to promote the over-prescribing of these pain medications. >> pelley: some are born addicted. we met botticelli at massachusetts general, where dr. leslie kerzner weans infants off of opioids. >> leslie kerzner: i'm just going to give him this little bit of morphine right in his cheek. >> pelley: in the last decade, the number of expectant mothers on opioids has increased five- fold. >> kerzner: if they don't get the treatment, they could have a seizure, and that's what we really worry about. >> pelley: but how does a person pain medication find themselves on heroin? drugs and heroin act in very similar ways on the brain. and, you know, unfortunately, heroin, because of its widespread availability, is a lot cheaper on the streets of boston and many places around this country. >> pelley: heroin is cheaper than prescription painkillers? >> botticelli: it is. so, a bag of heroin could be as

>> pelley: more than 120 americans die of drug overdoses each day. that is more than car wrecks or gun violence. to save lives, botticelli started an experiment in 2010 with the quincy, massachusetts, police. lieutenant patrick glynn is head of narcotics. >> patrick glynn: when someone dies of an overdose, the community becomes very, very small. everyone knows each other, even in a large city as ours. just recently, in the past four to six months, some of our officers have lost children. >> pelley: in a city of about 100,000 people, did i just understand you to say that some of your officers have lost children to drug overdoses? >> glynn: yes. >> pelley: how many? >> glynn: two did. two... they... two of them lost sons. >> pelley: in what period of time? >> glynn: within the last six months. >> pelley: botticelli helped arm every quincy officer with naloxone, a nasal spray antidote for overdose. lieutenant glynn saw it work on an unconscious addict. >> glynn: within about 45 seconds to a minute, they started to move around, their

to sit up and speak. >> pelley: must have looked like a miracle? >> glynn: it's surreal. >> pelley: and they got to the victim in time due to a controversial innovation called the good samaritan law. one of the changes that came under botticelli's administration was that someone involved in drugs, if there was an overdose, they could call 9-1-1, and they would not be arrested for having drugs on the premises. >> glynn: correct. >> pelley: what difference did that make? >> glynn: that opened the floodgates of people calling 9-1-1. >> pelley: today, 32 states have a similar 9-1-1 law, and naloxone is carried by more than 800 police departments. in massachusetts, botticelli helped make treating addiction routine healthcare, so patients can get their opioid treatments now in a doctor's office. >> things have been going really well for you. we'll figure out the path you can walk down to stay in

>> pelley: and today, the affordable care act requires most insurance companies to cover addiction treatment. >> botticelli: i often say that substance use is one of the last diseases where we'd let people reach their most acute phase of this disorder before we offer them intervention. you've heard the phrase "hitting well, we don't say that with any other disorder. so the medical community has a key role to play in terms of doing a better job of identifying people in the early stages of their disease, in doing a better job at treating people who have this disorder. >> pelley: notice that word-- "disorder." botticelli prefers it to "addiction." he wants to lift the stigma by changing the language, as he did this past october in a rally on the national mall. >> botticelli: we must choose to come out in the light and be treated with dignity and respect. so let's stop whispering about this disease.

model for the change in attitude in the gay rights movement, which he has also lived. he's been with his husband, david wells, more than 20 years. at what point were you comfortable talking about being a gay man? >> botticelli: before i was comfortable talking about being an alcoholic. >> pelley: the alcoholism was harder? >> botticelli: you know, even kind of feeling that moment of hesitation about saying that i'm in recovery and not about being a gay man shows to me that we still have more work to do to really de-stigmatize addiction. >> pelley: but it's addiction to legal drugs-- alcohol and tobacco-- that kill the most americans, over half a million a year. botticelli does not believe in adding another drug to that cocktail with the legalization of marijuana. you're not a fan? >> botticelli: i'm not a fan. what we've seen, quite honestly, is a dramatic decrease in the perception of risk among youth

and they are getting the message that, because it's legal, that it is... there's no harm associated with it. so, we know that about one in nine people who use marijuana become addicted to marijuana. it's been associated with poor academic performance, in exacerbating mental health conditions, linked to lower iq. >> pelley: botticelli worries the marijuana industry is quickly adapting "big tobacco's" playbook. in the 1990s, tobacco companies appealed to kids with flavored cigarettes and "joe camel." today, the nearly $3 billion marijuana industry promotes sweetened edibles and "buddie," a mascot for legalization. you are never going to be able to talk all the states out of the tax revenue that will come from a burgeoning marijuana industry. it will just be too seductive. >> botticelli: you know, that's, quite honestly, my fear is that states are going to become dependent on the revenue. >> pelley: it becomes a

>> botticelli: it becomes an addiction to, unfortunately, a tax revenue that's often based on bad public health policy. >> pelley: as for his own recovery, botticelli says it gets easier, though he still attends those 12-step meetings that he called "miraculous." there are people watching this interview right now who are addicted to drugs, are alcoholics. and they cannot stop. and to them, you say what? >> botticelli: that there's help. that there's hope. that there is treatment available. if i, in some small way, can help people to see that there is this huge, incredible life on the other side of addiction, you know, i will feel accomplished in my job. my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis made a simple trip to the grocery store

so finally, i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible. what's this? a box. it takes worn out things and makes them better. it's our biggest breakthrough yet.

to hit some classic "star wars" notes. six weeks before the premiere, we dropped in on a hollywood scoring session for "the force awakens." composer john williams, who won an academy award for the first "star wars" film, was back, along with the iconic refrain he wrote 38 years ago. take a look behind williams. that's not some awestruck groupie. that's the movie's director, j.j. abrams. i saw you up here with your video camera, taking... >> j.j. abrams: oh, well, this is... this is, like, momentous, you know-- john williams conducting his "star wars" music. i mean, as a fan, i can't even

>> whitaker: abrams saw "star wars" when he was 11, and never outgrew his passion for the film. on this day, when he wasn't in the middle of the orchestra, filming on his phone, he was racing around the soundstage, here the fan... >> john williams: do you think it could work? >> abrams: let me just think. yeah. it's incredible. >> whitaker: ...there the director. >> abrams: we may need to make the bum-ba-da-ba-da... repeat those bars just because it might be a little bit longer before we get into the interior of the transport. >> whitaker: i see you running around. i mean, you're very... >> abrams: really? i've... i've felt so calm today. >> whitaker: yeah. this is you, calm? >> abrams: really, this is me, "oh, god"... >> whitaker: this is you, calm? >> abrams: yeah. >> whitaker: is it intimidating, in any way? >> abrams: uh... oh, yeah. oh, yeah. it's... there are moments of just abject terror, as to what... what we're all taking on. >> whitaker: what he's taking on is this-- "the force awakens."

expand the universe of "star wars" fans, while staying true to george lucas' original vision. and the die-hard fans-- their expectations are out of this world. >> the force-- it's calling to you. >> whitaker: when the official trailer was posted online, it was viewed 112 million times in just 24 hours. >> nothing will stand in our way. >> whitaker: talk about the force. the fans are a force to be reckoned with, and it's intense. >> abrams: it is. >> whitaker: it's not just the fans here; this is global. >> abrams: it's not a movie. it's a... it's... it's bigger than all of us. it's a... it's almost a religion for people. >> whitaker: what grabbed you about "star wars"? >> abrams: the experience of it was so profound and so moving and so funny and so sweet that, for me, as a kid, it blew my mind.

"anything is possible." >> whitaker: abrams has been working on "the force awakens" non-stop for three years. he's managed to keep a tight lid on it. this is one of the few clips disney has released. he told us his movie is set about 30 years after "return of the jedi," the final film in the first trilogy. at the end of that movie, the good guys had vanquished the empire and subdued the dark side... or so it seemed. what has been going on in that galaxy? >> abrams: "return of the jedi" seemed to end pretty happily. but the walk off to the sunset is always a misleading thing, because, "well, then what?" and so, one of the things that i think you see in this movie is that things didn't just end happily, and that the idea of the force-- both the dark and the light side-- are at a classic "star wars" place, which is in a desperate moment. >> whitaker: a moment which forces a new generation to step

>> finn: we can't outrun them. >> rey: we might in that quad jumper. >> whitaker: stepping into a lead role-- 23-year-old newcomer daisy ridley. her character is rey, a desert scavenger. john boyega is another new face. he plays finn, a disillusioned storm trooper. >> finn: i've got nothing to fight for. >> whitaker: your universe seems to be a more diverse place, by gender? by race? >> abrams: mm-hmm. >> whitaker: what do you think the impact of that is going to be? >> abrams: when we started casting the movie, it felt incredibly important to me that the movie look like the world in which this movie is being released. >> whitaker: abrams didn't just direct the movie; he wrote it with lawrence kasdan, who wrote two of the original "star wars" with lucas. abrams knew from the start he would tell a story that blended the new with the old. taking his cue from the first trilogy, he made authenticity

locales, like this desert in abu dhabi. the sets were built from scratch; the explosions were real. were there times when you stepped back from being the director and you were just the fan on the set? >> abrams: it was very hard to be in the 125-degree heat in abu dhabi with actual storm troopers running through this village that we had built, and not have moments constantly of "holy... what the...?" you know, "i can't believe i'm here." it was constantly happening, and i had to suppress that and say, "yep, okay, let's do it," and, like, put that away, because the job was not to be a wide-eyed fan boy. the job was to be the director of the movie. energy and action! >> whitaker: as the director, he managed a cast and crew of almost 1,000. he set limits on computer-

most of abrams' creatures, like the new droid bb-8, were crafted by hand, including his own. >> abrams: we knew we had to have a hero droid that was not a familiar one. >> whitaker: and you came up with a concept, like, by sketching it out? >> abrams: i drew the dumbest little thing. i just... i drew something like... like this. >> whitaker: he gave his sketch to the creature department, a group of about 100 artists and designers. they made a puppet. >> abrams and the puppeteer came out with bb-8, and he was moving around. and it was, like "oh, my god, it lives." >> rey: where do you come from? >> whitaker: we watched as abrams worked on a scene where the droid meets rey for the first time. >> abrams: maybe we could connect them so it's not so separate. >> mm-hmm. >> whitaker: so he's going to fit the pantheon-- r2-d2, c-3po. now, bb-8. >> abrams: from your mouth, sir. from your mouth, sir. i don't... i... i hope so. >> whitaker: only a handful of people have seen the finished film. one of them is abrams' wife of

they have three children, a charitable foundation she oversees, and a "harry met sally" rapport. >> katie mcgrath: i love the movie. i really love the movie. and i'm sort of picky, and i'm a little, you know... >> abrams: brutally... brutally honest. >> mcgrath: i'm... i'm honest. and at the end of the day, it's a movie. you know, this is not curing cancer. this is not eradicating poverty. this is... this is making a movie, right? right? that's what you believe, right? >> abrams: i'm sorry, she lost me after, "this is just a movie." i was like... >> whitaker: jeffrey jacob abrams grew up in hollywood's backyard, not far from the big studios. but when he took a tour of a movie back lot at age eight, he knew he'd found his calling. what in particular drew you to it? >> abrams: i think the thing that was so cool is the whole thing felt like a magic trick, that it was... it was every aspect of illusion, of creating was actual... actually happening

>> whitaker: he picked up the family's home movie camera and tried his own sleight of hand. >> now, we seek revenge! >> whitaker: he admits his earliest works weren't that good. but he got better. he won a teen film festival and got written up in the "los angeles times." that's him in the middle. the article caught the eye of steven spielberg. he reached out to the young filmmaker, who reminded him of himself. today, spielberg is abrams' friend, collaborator, and a big fan. what first struck you about him? >> steven spielberg: he just reminded me of a cartoon character that was so full of magnetic energy and ideas coming like, sparks flying in all directions. he was just absolutely, deliriously, madly in love with the film business and with making movies. >> whitaker: the kid in abrams is on display at bad robot, his santa monica production company.

grown-up version of his childhood bedroom-- with toys, an art area, and a place for special effects. here, about 90 employees churn out a constant stream of movies, tv shows, video games, and apps. he's kind of, like, all over the place. is it difficult? >> mcgrath: i don't even try. it can give you a bit of a have enough hobbies in your life, but he... >> whitaker: you're... you're not doing enough. >> mcgrath: no, no. and i'm doing plenty, by the way. but this is a whole other you know, he... >> abrams: i'm right here, guys. >> mcgrath: i know. >> abrams: bill, it's like sixth sense. bill, katie... >> whitaker: but it's good energy. >> mcgrath: no, it's great energy, actually. >> whitaker: he sold his first screenplay in college. he went on to write or co-write five more movies, including the

he made several tv shows. the cult hit "lost," about plane crash survivors on a mysterious island, won him two emmys. >> you're going to be okay, do you understand me? >> abrams: cut. that was awesome! >> whitaker: after that, his rousing remakes of flagging franchises "mission: impossible" and "star trek" grossed more than $1 billion worldwide and earned abrams the reputation as the remake king. he found himself in a financially lucrative but creative rut. he decided to move on from sequels. then, fate-- in the form of a conversation between steven spielberg and "star wars" producer kathy kennedy- changed his destiny. >> spielberg: and i just said, "kathy, there's only one director that really should undertake this daunting, epic task, and that's j.j. abrams." >> whitaker: his daunting task-- to justify disney's $4 billion investment, plus the estimated

movie. wall street will be disappointed if it doesn't bring in more than one and a half billion dollars. what's going on in his head right now? >> spielberg: oh, j.j. is terrified. there's a lot of pressure on j.j. to start paying disney back for, you know, the franchise they bought from... from george lucas. >> abrams: you just know that there will be people, no matter what you do, that will have issues with some aspect. you just know that there is some number that is being thrown out there that will not be hit. you just know. >> whitaker: fans have snapped up more than $50 million in advance tickets. in hollywood, they started lining up outside the theater a week ago. the force seems to be with abrams. >> mcgrath: he's got a long way to go, still, for what he's potentially able to do, in my opinion. >> abrams: thank you. >> whitaker: you think he's got another gear in his filmmaking? >> mcgrath: i hope so.

we're running out of sequels. right, babe? come on. isn't... that's enough! what do you do after "star wars"? >> whitaker: whether "the force awakens" soars or disappoints, j.j. abrams is ready for this all-consuming three-year rocket ride to be over. >> abrams: i said to someone recently, it's like i've had the greatest... in this movie, i've had the... the greatest roommate ever for too long. like, it's just time for him to move out. he just... he needs to get his own place, and i just need to figure out, you know, what's next. >> how does the new "star wars" begin? john williams records the music for the opening scene. on 60 minutes overtime. ...real you shine... ...through?

>> rose: there is nothing like formula one. in terms of global popularity, glamour and speed, it is considered the pinnacle of motor sports. most americans haven't heard of its biggest star. his name is lewis hamilton. even if car races aren't your thing, there's still much to admire in hamilton's inspiring story of beating the odds and breaking through barriers. but if you do like speed, buckle up, because you're about to experience the indescribable rush of driving one of the fastest race cars on the planet. >> lewis hamilton: nothing can really prepare you for when you get in the formula one car. knowing that you're driving a multi-million dollar car, and if you crash it, it's going to cost a lot of money and they might not give you another chance, is

>> rose: it is said that you're at one with the car. >> hamilton: yeah. it's like you're strapped to a rocket. i mean, it's like, "how do you control this rocket?" it's like a raging bull. it's wild. it's sexy. it's fast. >> rose: lewis hamilton was the fastest in 2008, when he clinched his first world championship at the brazilian grand prix. >> you will never see a more dramatic conclusion to any motor race. >> rose: no one in the crowd was more proud than his father and manager, anthony hamilton. he was only 23; at the time, the youngest champion in the history of the sport. today, hamilton's 43 career victories put him third on the formula one all-time list. and the englishman is only 30 years old. >> hamilton: i want to crush everyone. i want to outsmart everyone. >> rose: you want to crush everyone.

>> rose: at the italian grand prix last september, he did just that as the ferrari faithful and the cream of european society looked on. hamilton in his mercedes was the ultimate driving machine, winning the pole position, recording the fastest lap, and leading the race from start to finish. >> congratulations, lewis. >> rose: in racing, that's called a grand slam. when it was over, hamilton was so relaxed, it was as if he had just driven around the block. so, how does it feel, this one? >> hamilton: this weekend is the best i've ever had. i've never been quickest in every session and all qualifying sessions and the race. i've never, ever done that. >> rose: worldwide, formula one generated more than $2 billion last season, but remains a niche sport in the united states. f1 executives hope hamilton can change that. they have never seen a star like him before.

formula one? >> hamilton: one. >> rose: why is that? >> hamilton: well, i don't know. i think, in the future, there'll be more. >> rose: you're a role model? >> hamilton: i hope so. >> rose: you are, in fact, the face of formula one. you're the guy. so, all of a sudden, formula one looks to you and says, you know... >> hamilton: "we need you." >> rose: "we need you." ( laughter ) they need you. >> hamilton: well, i think we need each other. >> rose: no race car driver becomes a champion without a team... and a fast car. we went to mercedes' f1 headquarters in england to see the one hamilton drove last season. you said the top speed of this one is what? >> hamilton: 200... 220, 230. >> rose: how does that compare to indy or nascar? >> hamilton: well, this car will kill both of those cars.

>> hamilton: kill them. the speed in which we get to... to a 100 miles an hour is probably similar to... to an indy car. but it's what this car does through a corner. it's like a fighter jet on wheels. >> rose: the aerodynamic wings of the car allow it to hug the ground and take corners at over 100 miles an hour. hamilton says the forces can be five times his body weight, or five gs. he drives to the limit, and sometimes beyond, like when he blew a tire qualifying for the 2007 european grand prix. what's it like to hit the wall? >> hamilton: the journey towards it is kind of exciting. >> rose: really? what makes it exciting? >> hamilton: because you lose control. >> rose: and yet, there's an exhilaration when it's out of control for you. >> hamilton: true, yeah. i... i can't really explain that. >> rose: perhaps it's because hamilton has never been

a generation ago, one or more drivers could die each season, like his hero, ayrton senna. it's considerably safer today. >> hamilton: it is. formula one was a very dangerous sport. it still is dangerous, but the danger factor is also the exciting part. >> rose: it wasn't possible to drive in hamilton's race car, so we borrowed the fastest ride we could find. this is the fastest mercedes? >> hamilton: yeah. ( laughs ) >> rose: nine miles from the team's base is silverstone, home of the british grand prix. we drove straight onto the same track where hamilton has won three times. what are we at now, about 100? >> hamilton: doing 140 right now. >> rose: 140? i'm on one of the great race

greatest driver in the world. how good is that? >> hamilton: this is good fun. >> rose: and my heart is somewhere up around my ears. unbelievable, lewis. but tell me about driving. talk to me about what you're doing. >> hamilton: i know that i have there's... there's an ideal apex... >> rose: see there, that's not the way i would've anticipated hitting the curve. >> hamilton: you press the music? >> rose: ( laughs ) i did. i hit... oh, boy, that was my heart. races are won and lost in the turns. drivers are looking for the most efficient angle or line through each one. >> hamilton: so what you're trying to do when you're driving a racecar, you notice there's lines i'm taking. so right now, the next one is the left. so i'm going to be as far over to the right as possible. >> rose: so it's going to be a left. so you're going to be as far as you can to the right? >> hamilton: yeah. and basically, you want to make... you want to turn as little as possible. ( brakes squeal ) >> rose: you want to turn as

>> rose: yeah. >> rose: do they make too much of this idea that great drivers can feel it throughout their body? >> hamilton: yeah. i can feel it, but i know my... i know my boundaries. i know the limits to the car. >> rose: before lewis hamilton was old enough to drive, he was already a racing prodigy. he got his first remote control car at age five. not long after, he beat the british national champion on a bbc children's show called "blue peter". >> and we have a winner! who won the race? lewis, well done! >> rose: and then he got a second-hand go-kart for christmas from his father, anthony hamilton. >> anthony hamilton: it's quite a unique story. because normally, racing drivers come from a long line of, you know, previous successful sports people. but here we were, just a normal family. all of a sudden, we've got this young, precocious talent. and not only that, you know, we're the only black family on the grid. not only that, lesser equipment to others... >> rose: six years old, and he said, "i want to be a formula

>> anthony hamilton: yeah. that's all he ever said till he got there. >> rose: while other kids played, young lewis drove. in only his second year racing go-karts, hamilton became the champion of britain. >> anthony hamilton: and it's like, "hang on. lewis can become a british karting champion with his father as mechanic, then the world is his oyster." >> rose: and what did you know about racing? >> anthony hamilton: absolutely nothing. >> rose: anthony hamilton had to teach himself racing so he could then teach his son. he worked as a computer manager for the railroad, but he took on odd jobs to finance lewis' dream. father and son spent hundreds of hours here at the rye house kart track in a suburb north of london. what does rye house mean to you? >> lewis hamilton: rye house was my school. >> rose: and the most important lesson was when to brake. you helped him appreciate the benefits of braking later. >> anthony hamilton: yes. >> rose: that happened on this track. >> anthony hamilton: yes, absolutely, absolutely. that very corner over there... >> rose: yes.

he learned to brake later, harder, and keep the speed on the go-kart. >> lewis hamilton: the best drivers were braking here, and he would make me brake later than them. >> rose: and that contributed to your dominance? >> lewis hamilton: yes. and it still does today. >> rose: young lewis hamilton was so dominant, he got his first pro contract at 13. despite the success as the only black family in the sport, the hamiltons did not always feel welcome at the track. >> lewis hamilton: yeah, i mean, i had parents come to me, other drivers' parents would come up to me and be sort of, "you don't belong here. go back to wherever you came from." >> rose: so what does it say about you that you survived all that and became the world champion? >> lewis hamilton: my dad would always say, "do your talking on the track." so i get on the track and i'd drive the wheels off the car. >> rose: a few years after the hamiltons won their first world championship in formula one, the wheels came off their relationship.

father to be his manager. >> lewis hamilton: so it was a point where i was like, "dad, i just want you to be my dad." and that was incredibly hard for him to take, and it was hard for me to... to be able to do it. it had to be a hard break at the time. >> rose: and how hard was it for him to take it? >> lewis hamilton: that bridged a gap between us that was, like, the grand canyon. >> rose: did it affect your racing? >> lewis hamilton: absolutely. yeah. >> rose: disappointing results mounted, as did crashes, like this one in the 2011 belgian grand prix. hamilton's father was convinced >> anthony hamilton: i couldn't understand it. what do you mean you don't need me? so that hit me pretty hard. but it was... it was probably the best thing, you know. he's not a boy anymore. he was a formula one world champion. >> rose: what would you do different? >> anthony hamilton: my desire for him to be so successful took

more manager. and that's probably the thing i would... >> rose: you wish you'd stayed more father. >> anthony hamilton: yeah. but if i'd have stayed the father, i... he probably wouldn't have been as successful. >> rose: four years after their professional split, lewis hamilton won his second world championship in abu dhabi. prince harry congratulated him over the radio. >> prince harry: lewis, well done. you're an absolute legend. >> rose: and waiting in the garage was anthony hamilton. no longer a manager, now just a proud dad. >> lewis hamilton: what he did for me, i can never pay him back. the only thing i can do is make sure that every time i'm in the car today with the opportunity that he's helped create get and give me, i've got to grab it with both hands and never take it for granted. >> how good does that sound, lewis-- "three times world champion"? >> lewis hamilton, it's the greatest moment of my life. >> rose: hamilton clinched his third world championship this past october in austin, texas,

now managing himself, he claims to be the happiest he's ever been. we believed him, not because of something he said, but because of the way he drove. drive, the way i handle a car is feelings. ( laughter ) i hope you're enjoying this as much as i am. >> lewis hamilton: i have the best job in the world. i love this. >> rose: go, man, go. >> this cbs sports update is i'm james brown with scores from nfl today.
