    \n

    Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton was born into a mixed-race family on 7 January 1985, in Stevenage, a quiet English town north of London. His father Anthony, whose parents immigrated from Grenada in the West Indies in the 1950's, and his mother Carmen divorced when Lewis was about two years old. He lived with Carmen until he was 10 then moved in with Anthony, his wife Linda and their three-year-old son Nicolas. Remaining close to his mother, Lewis also formed a strong bond with his stepmother and credits them both with contributing to the caring, considerate side of his nature. He finds the cheerful bravery of his stepbrother, who suffers from cerebral palsy, inspirational. "I only have to think of Nic to feel motivated and put a smile on my face." His steely ambition and iron resolve come from the head of the family. "Even though he always told me to be courteous and polite, my focus and determination comes from, and has always been driven by, my dad."
    \n
    \nAnthony Hamilton, his mentor and manager, worked day and night for years (at one time he held three different jobs) to further his son's racing career, which effectively began when eight-year-old Lewis was given a well-used go-kart that cost nearly as much as the family's modest monthly income. Soon the Hamiltons - Anthony, Linda, Nic and Lewis - were a fixture at karting events and the boy racer, wearing the familiar yellow helmet chosen by an anxious Anthony to better keep track of his speedy progress in crowded kart fields, began winning races and championships.\u00a0
    \n
    \nIn 1995, a 10-year-old kart champion, wearing a borrowed suit and shoes, picked up two trophies at a motorsport awards ceremony in London. Brandishing an autograph book prepared by his father, he approached Ron Dennis, boss of the McLaren Mercedes Formula One team. "I said 'Hello Mr. Dennis, I'm Lewis Hamilton and one day I'd like to race for your team.' I asked him for his autograph and his phone number. He put them in my book and also wrote 'Call me in nine years.'"
    \n
    \nThe call was made just three years later and it was the Hamilton household's telephone that rang. It was Ron Dennis who presented Anthony with an offer to financially support his son's career for the forseeable future, with the proviso that Lewis should keep working hard at school. Lewis: "I just went upstairs to my room and got on with my homework. It was so unbelievable. I struggled to take it in."
    \n
    \nWhile the family's financial struggle was over it put extra pressure on McLaren's teenage protege to meet ever higher expectations. As well as having to respond to envious critics who claimed he should be winning all the time, given his funding, it was imperative that Lewis continually prove himself worthy of his benefactor's investment. The need to achieve undoubtedly accelerated his progress through motorsport's ranks. After winning eight championships in six years of kart racing, he went on to win three major single seater titles, the most prestigious of which was the GP2 championship, where in 2006 he took five victories from 21 starts. But it was the young British charger's several spirited comeback performances, from the back of the pack to the podium, that particularly prompted McLaren to promote him to the Formula One team.
    \n
    \nCertainly he was well prepared, though no one was prepared for the astonishing ease with which the precocious youngster stormed through the 2007 season. Consistently out-performing his celebrated team mate Fernando Alonso (who had won the first of his two driving titles, with Renault, when he was just 24), Lewis Hamilton barged onto the podium a dozen times, won four races, led the championship for five months and lost it by merely a single point in the final race to Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen.\u00a0
    \n
    \nTheir new recruit's dazzling debut was the only bright spot in a turbulent year for McLaren, whose two drivers became bitter adversaries. Their feud, exacerbated by Alonso's resentment of the British-based team's apparent focus an English upstart he had presumed would be his understudy, culminated in the slighted Spaniard's angry departure from a team already troubled by a notorious 'spy scandal.' Found guilty of possessing Ferrari technical secrets, McLaren was fined $100 million and stripped of all its points in a Constructors' Championship it would otherwise have won.

    On assuming the role of team leader in 2008 (when Alonso returned to Renault) the boy wonder became even more of a marked man. En route to carving out five victories and scything his way to the podium on six other occasions, he incurred the wrath of several overtaken rivals who accused him of arrogance and dangerous driving. Hamilton insisted his hard-earned self-belief was wrongly interpreted and that his driving was firm but fair. But it wasn't without flaw and a combination of miscues and mishaps meant the championship was far from a foregone conclusion prior to the final Grand Prix, in Brazil. There, if Hamilton failed to finish at least fifth, Ferrari's Felipe Massa could take the title by winning his home race.
    \n
    \nThe grand finale, on a serpentine Interlagos circuit made more treacherous by rain, produced arguably the most thrilling climax in the annals of any sport. Local hero Massa mastered the chaotic conditions perfectly, crossing the finish line first and scoring the points necessary to become champion - which he was for the 38.907 seconds that passed before his title rival took the chequered flag in the fifth place he needed to finish on top of the world. With this final flourish, having overtaken another car with about 300 meters to go, Lewis Hamilton, aged 23 years and 300 days, became the youngest World Champion.\u00a0
    \n
    \n"Shoot!", he exclaimed while celebrating tearfully with his nearest and dearest, among them his glamorous pop singer girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger. "I'm ecstatic, very emotional, very thankful for my family, my team and everyone who has supported me in this fairy-tale story."
    \n
    \nIn the following seasons, though he continued to be one of the most aggressive drivers and a race winner, Hamilton failed to regain his championship form. His McLaren was not always a world-beater but in 2011 Hamilton blamed distractions in his private life (mainly a breakup with his girlfriend) for a loss of focus that he vowed to regain. In 2012, with his private life running smoothly, he drove hard and well and finished fourth in the standings with four wins. Before that campaign was over he announced he was leaving McLaren, the team that had been so much a part of his racing life for so long, and would in 2013 replace the retiring Michael Schumacher at Mercedes. In his new environment he was a regular frontrunner, securing several poles and podiums (including a race win) and finished a respectable fourth in the 2013 championship.

    In 2014, when major regulation changes featured new hybrid power units in chassis with reduced downforce, Mercedes dominated the season, winning 16 of the 19 races and easily securing the Constructors\u2019 Championship. Mercedes\u2019 policy of letting its drivers race each other enabled team mates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg to engage in an enthralling season-long duel for the driving title. Adding extra human interest to the drama was the fact that Hamilton (champion in 2008) and Rosberg (whose father Keke was champion in 1982) had been friends and rivals since their karting days as teenagers. Now, as 29-year-old protagonists competing for honours at the pinnacle of motorsport, the intensity of their rivalry strained their friendship and tested their strength of character.
    \n
    \nThe championship, with Hamilton leading in points and Rosberg still in contention, was finally settled in the last race of the season, at Abu Dhabi, where double points were awarded, though the race winner and new champion didn\u2019t need them. Rosberg, who started from pole (and won the inaugural Pole Position trophy) but finished out of the points with a car problem, was gracious in defeat, acknowledging that his team mate\u2019s tally of 11 wins to Rosberg\u2019s five meant Hamilton deserved to be the 2014 champion.\u00a0
    \n
    \nClinching his second driving title (as well as becoming the most successful British Formula One driver, with 33 victories) was an emotional occasion for Lewis Hamilton, whose family and girlfriend shared his tearful triumph at Abu Dhabi. Struggling to put his feelings into words, he summed it up succinctly: \u201cThis is the greatest day of my life.\u201d

    \n

    Days of greatness were far from over for a driver yet to reach the peak of his powers. Off the track he relished his celebrity status, embraced pop culture, dabbled in music, became a style icon, hob-nobbed with the rich and famous.

    \n

    His fame transcended his sport but the high-flying, tattooed hero with diamond ear studs never lost his driving ambition, his hunger to win. He worked hard at self-improvement, added a thinking dimension to his hard-charging instincts, made fewer mistakes and became an unstoppable force in 2015.

    \n

    He dominated the season, making full use of his Mercedes F1 Team's car advantage and capping it off with a triple crown triumph secured via a storming victory in the 16th of the 19 races - an action-packed, drama-filled United States Grand Prix at Austin, Texas. On a wet to drying track wheel-to-wheel battles raged throughout the field, beginning with Hamilton pushing aside his polesitting Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg on the opening lap. Many driving errors were made but Hamilton never put a wheel wrong in winning his 10th race of the year - an historic 43rd career victory that vaulted him into third place in the all-time winners list behind Michael Schumacher and Alain Prost.

    \n

    His third world championship - matching the tally of his boyhood hero Ayrton Senna - confirmed that Lewis Hamilton had joined the ranks of the sport's greatest drivers.

    \n

    The three-time champion lost none of his natural speed (he had the most poles and wins) yet lost the 2016 championship (by five points) to his hard-trying Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg. Their huge car advantage and the team\u2019s policy of letting them fight freely led to a sometimes acrimonious title battle. Hamilton had more mechanical problems and made some driving errors that suggested a wavering focus caused by his continuing pursuit of a celebrity lifestyle. He denied this, saying \u201cI probably drove with more heart his year. It took a lot more heart and courage to face the challenges\u201d.

    \n

    Lewis Hamilton\u2019s fourth Drivers\u2019 Championship earned him a place among the top five most successful drivers of all time. He equalled the number of titles won by both Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel. Only Juan Manuel Fangio\u2019s five championships and Michael Schumacher\u2019s record of seven rank higher than the 32-year-old Englishman who in his 11th season came to be regarded as the best driver of his era.
    \n
    \nHis 2017 title triumph was the product of Hamilton raising his game and performing at a consistently higher level. He demonstrated superior speed (with 11 pole positions he extended his career total to 72, a F1 record), unerring precision (his only notable crash came during qualifying at Interlagos), relentless aggression (pushing himself with a deep-seated self-belief that he was unbeatable), exemplary racecraft (remaining steadfastly composed and controlled under pressure) and remarkable efficiency (he scored points in all 20 races, winning nine of them and finishing on the podium 13 times). Moreover, his tremendous pace and stylish verve behind the wheel were exciting for the sport.
    \n
    \nIt helped that the Mercedes F1 WO8 was generally the best car, and the well-managed team again functioning like a well-oiled machine won the Constructors\u2019 Championship for the fourth season in succession. Hamilton and his easy-going new team mate Valtteri Bottas, replacing the retired reigning champion Nico Rosberg, were allowed to compete with each other. His defeat by Rosberg in their acrimonious 2016 battle bolstered Hamilton\u2019s resolve to re-establish his superiority, which he did convincingly. Bottas won three races and finished third in the standings. That their relationship remained harmonious was a further example of Hamilton\u2019s newfound serenity and contentment.
    \n
    \nHe derived satisfaction from his racing accomplishments and took obvious pleasure in embracing a colourful celebrity lifestyle that made him an even more popular personality. He cultivated a high profile presence on social media, remaining humble and profusely thanking his fans for supporting and inspiring him. His multitude of followers left little doubt that Lewis Hamilton\u2019s fame exceeded that of any other F1 driver. Beyond that, as his former team mate and rival Nico Rosberg observed, \u201cLewis is one of the best of all time.\u201d

    \n

    His magisterial performance in 2018 elevated Lewis Hamilton to the highest echelons of the pinnacle of motorsport. His fifth World Championship equalled the decades old milestone established by the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio. At the age of 33, Hamilton\u2019s records to date \u2013 73 wins, 83 poles and 134 podiums in 229 Grands Prix \u2013 left him well-placed to pursue the seven driving title achievement of the great Michael Schumacher.

    \n

    Hamilton\u2019s superlative season - his 11 wins, 11 poles and 17 podiums in the 21-races \u2013 not only led Mercedes to a fifth consecutive Constructors\u2019 Championship (his winless team mate Valtteri Bottas finished fifth among the drivers) but firmly confirmed his status as the team leader. Against stronger opposition from Ferrari (6 wins) and Red Bull (4 wins) Hamilton led by example, setting a scorching pace on the track and taking it upon himself to motivate the Mercedes personnel to even greater effort. They found his tremendous inner drive inspirational. His continual expressions of gratitude strengthened team spirit.

    \n

    Mercedes got better and better as the season went on, following Hamilton, who overpowered Ferrari\u2019s dispirited Sebastian Vettel to take the driving title with two races to go, then scored victories in the final two events to vanquish Ferrari and seal the team championship for Mercedes.

    \n

    His outstanding season, the product of greater understanding of the value of teamwork as well as his focus on continual self-improvement, was especially satisfying for Lewis Hamilton. \u201cThis is the highest point of my career,\u201c he acknowledged, \u201cin terms of my performance and how I perform with the team.\u201d

    \n

    His winning ways endeared him to yet more fans. He never failed to thank them for their support and kept his multitude of social media followers informed about his busy off-track life that now included designing a new line of high fashion clothing and news that his pet bulldog Roscoe earned $700 a day as a model.

    \n

    In the 13th year of his F1 career Lewis Hamilton secured his sixth world championship (one less than Michael Schumacher\u2019s record seven), thus confirming his status as not only the driver of the decade but convincingly securing his place among the select few considered to be the greatest of all time.

    \n

    The 2019 driving title (his fifth in six years) was hard earned in a field that featured several ambitious youngsters intent on dethroning the 34-year-old superstar. While his Mercedes team secured a sixth consecutive Constructors\u2019 Championship their car, though still the class of the field, was less dominant than before.

    \n

    During the 21-race season Ferrari and Red Bull each won three races but were undermined by uneven performances. Mercedes, superbly organised and cohesive with a strong team spirit united in a common cause, tallied 15 victories. Lewis Hamilton led the charge, outscoring his improving team mate Valtteri Bottas 11 victories to four and leading the league in terms of consistently delivering points. He was the only driver to score in every race, finishing on the podium in all but four events.

    \n

    Hamilton\u2019s impressive efficiency combined with his habitual hard charging confirmed his superiority behind the wheel. He relished the cut and thrust of close combat and was invariably a fierce but fair fighter. His driving was nearly faultless. When he made a rare mistake he was quick to admit it. He confessed staying on top was sometimes a struggle. \u201cOnly athletes at the top of their game can relate to it. Weekend after weekend you can\u2019t drop the ball.\u201d

    \n

    The sport\u2019s best driver remained humble and honest, wearing his heart on his sleeve and showing more of his sensitive side. Describing his season \u201can emotional rollercoaster,\u201d he dedicated it to his late friend and mentor Niki Lauda. He mourned the loss of FIA F1 Race Director Charlie Whiting, expressed shock after F2 driver Anthoine Hubert was killed in Belgium.

    \n

    Beyond excelling in his risky profession Hamilton continued to develop himself personally, furthering his interests in fashion and music, as well as exposing his social conscience. A vegan of several years, he increasingly spoke publicly of his environmental and animal welfare concerns, and helped launch a plant-based burger restaurant in London. More than ever he focussed on using his popularity as a force for positive social change.

    \n

    Recognising his responsibility as a role model for young people striving to make their way in troubled times, Lewis Hamilton the social media star encouraged his millions of supporters in \u2018Team Hamilton\u2019 to follow their dreams and never give up, a philosophy that took him to the top of the world.

    \n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n \n \n \n
    \n\n\n\n\n

    Shortened and stressed by the global Coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 schedule - 17 races crammed into 23 weekends in 12 countries - resulted in one of the most intense and memorable seasons in the sport\u2019s 70-year history. The non-stop action at existing and new venues featured exciting racing, displays of virtuoso driving, even a couple of first-time winners. A fiery accident from which driver Romain Grosjean miraculously escaped was a frightening reminder that danger is never far away.

    \n

    The one constant in this tumultuous time was the continuing domination of Lewis Hamilton, who won his seventh driving title and led his Mercedes team to a seventh consecutive constructors\u2019 championship.

    \n

    The 35-year-old superstar\u2019s record-setting season, achieved with 11 wins, 10 poles and 14 podiums, made Hamilton statistically the most successful F1 driver ever. At the end of it, his 14-year, 266-race career had thus far produced 95 wins, 98 poles, 165 podiums, as well as putting him atop several other categories, with no signs of him of slowing down.

    \n

    Throughout his triumphant campaign Hamilton handled his class-of-the-field Mercedes W11 with methodical precision, controlling races, driving flawlessly fast, yet with car-conserving care, to far outperform his team mate Valtteri Bottas, who won just two races and finished a distant second overall, in an identical car. Far from gloating Hamilton paid tribute to him: "Valtteri is amazing and doesn't get the credit he deserves."

    \n

    Confirming the magnitude of Hamilton\u2019s supremacy was the fact he missed the penultimate race suffering from the Covid-19 virus, then finished third in the final race while feeling far below par. \u201cThe virus is no joke,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m destroyed. I do not feel good and I\u2019m grateful to be alive and fight another day.\u201d

    \n

    Lewis Hamilton fans, whose support he constantly acclaims, appreciate his personal warmth, humanity and candour. He revealed that he wept in his helmet on the cooling-down lap after securing the seventh championship that equalled Michael Schumacher\u2019s historic achievement. Hamilton said he felt \u201chumbled\u201d to break records set by former heroes. He confided he still finds the build-up to a race \u201cterrifying\u201d, that doubts and uncertainties are personal demons. He uses prayer and meditation, practises yoga, reads self-help books to control his fears, bolster his confidence. His dog Roscoe, a faithful companion, is a source of joy.

    \n

    Peerless in the car, he is a vital component in the all-conquering Mercedes team, leading by example with tireless drive and determination, inspiring the personnel to constantly strive to improve their performance, making major contributions to the way the car and the teamwork. He is a loyal team player, thanking everyone regularly. :"I couldn't have done any of this without an incredible team behind me." (During his disastrous 2020 season Sebastian Vettel much appreciated a compassionate Hamilton calling him frequently to cheer him up and motivate him.)

    \n

    Few champions have worked harder at their profession, none has become such a persuasive influencer in promoting positive social change. Using his high profile, communicating directly via social media to many millions of followers worldwide, he supports such worthy causes as human rights, children\u2019s welfare, environmental sustainability, animal welfare, disaster relief and especially racial equality and diversity.

    \n

    He spearheaded the drivers\u2019 Black Lives Matter pre-race ceremony, established himself as an articulate spokesman campaigning against racial injustice and became a prominent crusader in the movement to create equal opportunity for the disadvantaged.

    \n

    From his unique perspective atop the pinnacle of motorsport Lewis Hamilton saw a flawed wider world and took it upon himself to use his position of power to become a force for good.

    \n\n\n\n\n

    Lewis Hamilton called the 2021 season the hardest ever in his 15 years at the pinnacle of motorsport. Hamilton and Max Verstappen dominated the 20-car entry. The drivers were at the top of the game, their respective Mercedes and Red Bull Racing teams were the class of the field. The intense rivalry between the 36-year-old seven-time world champion Englishman and his hard-charging 24-year-old Dutch rival was marred by frequent clashes. Responding to Verstappen\u2019s aggressive driving, Hamilton fought back in kind - setting them on a collision course seemingly destined to end in controversy \u2013 which it did. Millions of enthralled viewers witnessed one the most ferociously fought championships in F1 history.

    \n

    In the British Grand Prix at Silverstone their high-speed collision sent Verstappen crashing violently into the barriers. While he was transferred to hospital for tests that found him badly shaken, Hamilton went on to win despite a time penalty after stewards found him predominantly to blame for the incident. At the Italian Grand Prix the duelling duo\u2019s coming-together at Monza\u2019s first corner ended terminally with the Red Bull perched precariously atop the Mercedes. For Hamilton, who escaped with wheel marks on his helmet, this was his first non-finish in 63 races. In the penultimate Saudia Arabian round, won by Hamilton ahead of Verstappen after yet another acrimonious altercation in which the Mercedes rear-ended the Red Bull, caused according to Hamilton by a dangerous \u2018brake test\u2019 manoeuvre for which his rival was assessed a time penalty.

    \n

    Having exchanged the championship lead throughout the year (though Verstappen had nine wins to Hamilton\u2019s eight) the adversaries came to the final race exactly equal in points. Thus the sport was dramatically poised for a championship showdown at Abu Dhabi\u2019s Yas Marina track.

    \n

    Hamilton convincingly led Verstappen until a backmarker\u2019s crash with a few laps remaining closed up the field behind the safety car. To preserve his lead Hamilton stayed out on worn tyres while Verstappen pitted for fresh rubber. With the chequered flag fast approaching, the race director instructed only those lapped cars separating the two frontrunners to un-lap themselves (normally it would be all lapped cars), thus clearing the way for a last lap of all-out racing from which the winner would take the title.

    \n

    The Red Bull car on newly fitted tyres easily overtook the Mercedes and Max Verstappen became the new world champion. As the Red Bull team wept with joy there were tears of rage among despairing Mercedes personnel.

    \n

    After Mercedes\u2019 protests over the contentious safety car decision and the race result were rejected, the team ultimately opted against taking the matter to appeal, with the FIA announcing it would conduct a \u2018detailed analysis and clarification exercise\u2019 intended to end the controversy and the ensuing arguments that were \u2018tarnishing the image of the sport.\u2019

    \n

    Enhancing the image of the sport was Lewis Hamilton\u2019s dignified response to a crushing defeat that left him disillusioned and unsure of his future.

    \n

    \u201cFirstly, a big congratulations to Max and his team,\u201d he said ahead of the podium ceremony at Abu Dhabi. \u201cI think our team did an amazing job\u2026all the men and women who have worked so hard this whole year\u2026I\u2019m so proud of them and so grateful to be part of the journey with them\u2026We gave it absolutely everything and we never gave up \u2013 that\u2019s the most important thing\u2026We\u2019re still in the Covid pandemic and I just wish for everyone to stay safe and have a good Christmas with all their families and we\u2019ll see about next year.\u201d

    \n

    Mario Andretti, 1978 world champion, tweeted a heartfelt appreciation of Hamilton\u2019s sportsmanship: \u2018The Lewis Hamilton Master Class on how to be the best in every way. A champion who wins most days and shows the world how to behave and stay composed when situations aren\u2019t kind to you. LH brings his A-game even when his soul is ripped out. Strength, Control of spirit. Role model.\u2019

    \n

    After the race the loser\u2019s father Anthony Hamilton embraced and consoled his son and then generously congratulated Max and his father Jos Verstappen. A few days later Lewis Hamilton visited the Mercedes factory, praising the team on winning an eighth consecutive Constructors\u2019 Championship, thanking them for their efforts on his behalf, encouraging the personnel to not be discouraged. Next, accompanied by his mother Carmen to the ceremony at Windsor Castle, Sir Lewis Hamilton was officially knighted by Prince Charles.

    \n

    Undisputed were Lewis Hamilton\u2019s unrivaled achievements after 288 F1 races. His records to date included 103 victories, 103 pole positions, 183 podium appearances and numerous other distinctions .

    \n

    In 2022 Sir Lewis Hamilton failed to win a single F1 Grand Prix for the first time in his career. He was classified sixth in the drivers\u2019 standings, two positions behind his young Mercedes team mate George Russell. In the 22-race season. Hamilton made 10 trips to the podium (including five second places) and scored points in all but two races. The Mercedes team was third in the Constructors\u2019 Championship, behind Red Bull and Ferrari, but the perceived plight of the sport\u2019s most successful driver was headline news.

    \n

    Hamilton\u2019s strenuous effort in a losing cause was far from a personal disaster. There was no sulking over the unfairness of his 2021 title loss, no lessening of his will to win, His tremendous fighting spirit was still there, as was his steadfast loyalty to Mercedes, whose imperfect W13 chassis was the root cause of the team\u2019s performance drop-off in 2022. Searching for solutions to sort out the ill-handling car, Mercedes experimented with radical set-up changes during race weekends, entrusting much of this task to its most experienced driver - Hamilton.

    \n

    The \u2018test pilot\u2019 duties accounted for his uneven results but the car gradually improved, thus enabling 24-year-old Russell, in his first full term with Mercedes, to distinguished himself in a supporting role - highlighted by a first F1 victory in the penultimate race of the season. Finishing second there, Hamilton was quick to congratulate Russell whose obvious talent bode well for the future - as did the winning ways of his 37-year-old team mate. For the 2023 season Hamilton\u2019s outstanding record of 103 victories would amount to more than the rest of the grid combined.

    \n

    The seven-time World Champion revealed how the decision to prolong his career came after a short debate with himself. \u201cIt won\u2019t be forever but something inside was telling me \u2018You\u2019re not done yet. You\u2019ve got to keep pushing. You\u2019ve got more to do, more to achieve, on and off the track.\u201d

    \n

    He admitted his fierce inner drive, his dedication to promoting the many worthy causes he supports was exhausting, but also the source of the energy required to continue. Neverthless, there was a time limit. \u201cAt some stage,\u201d he revealed, \u201cI will want to have a family and that will be my full focus, but right now, being in Formula 1 with Mercedes is it.\u201d

    The best prepared rookie in Grand Prix history and now a seven-time World Champion with 103 grand prix wins to his name, Lewis Hamilton’s win-at-all-costs mentality and prodigious natural talent make him Formula 1’s most exciting driver. Seen as brash and cocky by some thanks to his often justified self-belief, his emotional temperament made him fallible at times early in his F1 career. However, Hamilton visibly matured as a driver and is one of the fastest men to have graced the sport. Six world titles in the last eight years, his 2008 triumph, and incomparable run of victories mean that he is now the most successful driver in the sport’s history.

    \n

    McLaren protégé and early success

    \n

    The son of a Stevenage railway worker, Hamilton was already national cadet karting champion when he introduced himself to Ron Dennis at the 1995 Autosport Awards. McLaren took an interest in his fledgling career from that moment and the youngster responded with a string of titles. That culminated in winning both the European title (with CRG-Parilla team-mate Nico Rosberg second) and World Cup during an impressive 2000 season in Formula A.

    \n

    Hamilton made his much hyped switch to cars at the end of 2001 when driving for Manor Motorsport in the Formula Renault 2.0 Winter Series. He remained with John Booth’s team for the next two seasons in the main British series. He won three times during 2002 and finished third overall behind Danny Watts and Jamie Green. Hamilton then recovered from a slow start to 2003 to win 10 times in 11 races and complete a dominant title win.

    \n

    He also made his Formula 3 debut during 2003 and remained with Manor for the following year’s F3 Euroseries. He won at the Norisring as he finished fifth overall. The end-of-season non-championship races confirmed his outright pace and prodigious overtaking ability. He started the Macau GP from pole position only to lose a chance of victory when distracted by Rosberg’s second lap accident. He then came from 21st on the grid for Bahrain’s qualification race to beat Rosberg in the final.

    \n

    Having spent his single-seater career so far with Manor, Hamilton moved to reigning champions ART Grand Prix (formerly ASM) for a second season in the F3 Euroseries. The pre-season favourite dominated with his Dallara F305-Mercedes-Benz winning 15 of the 20 rounds (as well as being excluded from another win at Spa-Francorchamps) against a field that included team-mate Adrian Sutil, Paul di Resta and a fresh-faced Sebastian Vettel.

    \n

    GP2 confirms a future star

    \n

    It was his performances in the 2006 GP2 Series that convinced McLaren that here was a special talent that already warranted a top F1 drive. As with any one of his seasons in the junior formulae, much was expected of Hamilton and he delivered with aplomb. He won five times (including coming from eighth on the grid to win Silverstone’s sprint race) and recovered from 16th on the opening lap in Hungary to finish second as he beat Nelson Piquet jr to the title at the first attempt.

    \n

    Formula 1 – World Champion at the second attempt

    \n

    Any thoughts Hamilton would make a quiet F1 bow and play a supporting role to new team-mate Fernando Alonso were dismissed at the first Grand Prix of 2007. A record nine successive podium finishes in his first nine F1 races included dominant breakthrough victories at Montréal and Indianapolis that gave the precocious newcomer the championship lead. Helped by hours in McLaren’s simulator as he learned unfamiliar circuits, he won in Hungary and Japan to all-but clinch the World Championship in his rookie year. In the event, that unprecedented achievement slipped from his grasp with tyre failure in China and a gearbox glitch in Brazil. Ferrari’s Kimi Räikkönen snatched an unlikely title with Hamilton finishing as runner-up. A single point covered the top three with Alonso equalling the Englishman’s score but third on countback.

    \n

    For all that success, 2007 was overshadowed by revelations that disgruntled Ferrari test team manager Nigel Stepney had passed a dossier on its F2007 to McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan. “Spygate” eventually resulted in the team’s exclusion from the constructors’ championship and a $100million fine. In addition to the scandal, Alonso’s relationship with Hamilton and senior team management deteriorated so badly that he left after a single season.

    \n

    The fine margins between success and failure were amply illustrated by Hamilton’s first two F1 seasons. Having missed out by a single point 12 months earlier, Hamilton snatched the 2008 World Championship on the final corner of the last lap of the deciding race. Five victories included having punctured a tyre at Monaco and a masterful display in the wet at Silverstone. However, he clashed with Alonso in Bahrain, crashed into Räikkönen in the Montréal pitlane and scattered the front-runners after an overly impetuous move at the start of the Japanese GP. A late rain shower near the end of the final round in Brazil put his title in jeopardy as his McLaren MP4/23-Mercedes-Benz dropped to sixth as he switched to rain tyres. Then, on the last lap, he made up the 13.144sec deficit to Timo Glock’s Toyota (which was still on dry rubber) to snatch the fifth place he required to become champion by a point and cut short the premature Ferrari celebrations.

    \n

    World Champion at 23 and with a pop star girlfriend, Hamilton was now among Britain’s most marketable sportsmen. However, his title defence began with more unwanted controversy for he was disqualified from the 2009 Australian GP when found to have lied to the stewards. The McLaren MP4/24 lacked balance but Hamilton helped develop it sufficiently to win in Hungary and Singapore as he finished fifth overall.

    \n

    Hamilton was joined at McLaren Mercedes in 2010 by the man who succeeded him as World Champion – Jenson Button – and the Englishmen’s contrasting styles complemented each other. Inevitably, Hamilton’s aggressive driving style led to occasions when he overstepped the mark – clashing with Felipe Massa on the opening lap in Italy and puncturing a tyre against Mark Webber’s Red Bull next time out in Singapore. But there were more days when he flattered the MP4/25. Hamilton took advantage when the Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber ran into each other in Turkey. Further victories in the next race in Canada (from pole position) and at Spa-Francorchamps helped maintain Hamilton’s interest in the championship until the final round. One of four drivers with a mathematical chance of the title in Abu Dhabi, he finished second behind new champion Vettel but was fourth in the final standings.

    \n

    So far never beaten by a team-mate over a full season during his career in cars, 2011 was a difficult year for Hamilton in his private life and on the track. The tabloid newspapers were happy to detail the break-up with former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and, whether true or not, that turmoil seemed to affect his judgment and performances in the car. He had a soon reported meeting with Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner about his future and repeated contact with Massa in Singapore and Japan drew the Brazilian’s ire. There were wins (China, Germany and Abu Dhabi) as Hamilton was classified fifth overall while team-mate Button finished as championship runner-up.

    \n

    Hamilton was back to his best in 2012 in what was his final year with McLaren – his team since boyhood. He won the Canadian, Hungarian, Italian and United States GPs but further victories in Singapore and Abu Dhabi were lost when his MP4/27 failed him while in the lead. That scuppered another title challenge and Hamilton was classified fourth in the 2012 World Championship.

    \n

    A move to Mercedes-Benz delivers back-to-back titles

    \n

    At first it had seemed inconceivable that Hamilton would ever leave McLaren but he moved to Mercedes-Benz in 2013 – perhaps to make his own mark but mainly with one eye on the new turbocharged rules for the following season. With childhood friend Rosberg as his team-mate once more and closer to his pace than ever, Hamilton lost victory at home to a puncture but won the Hungarian GP from pole position. Hamilton and Rosberg were fourth and fifth respectively in the World Championship in what was a holding year for the team.

    Mercedes were overwhelming favourites for the 2014 title and it was a campaign fought out by its two drivers – thankfully left free to race by senior management. Rosberg won the qualifying battle but it was Hamilton, now sporting the number 44 he had preferred during his karting career, who used his superior race craft to secure the World Championship. They came close in Bahrain and touched at Spa-Francorchamps as the team-mates raced wheel-to-wheel. That contact in Belgium lost Mercedes the race and earned Rosberg criticism from his team as the title pendulum shifted. Hamilton retired that day but won the next five races before clinching his second world title with victory in the Abu Dhabi finale.

    \n

    Pole position, victory and fastest lap in the Australian GP set the tone at the start of the 2015 F1 season. Hamilton was utterly dominant in qualifying from race one and further victories asserted his authority within the Mercedes team. While Rosberg had challenged him until the final race of 2014, Hamilton initially out-drove his team-mate and eased to the title with three races to spare. That included his 42nd Grand Prix victory in Russia to pass the total of his great hero Ayrton Senna. He then won the wet United States GP to clinch the title and match the Brazilian’s three championship wins.

    \n

    Rivalry with Nico Rosberg

    \n

    Mercedes remained the team to beat in 2016 and Hamilton continued to set the pace. He won more races than Rosberg (10) and qualified on pole position for 12 of the 21 races but outright pace alone was not enough to deliver a third successive title. Poor starts and reliability issues initially hampered his cause before a run of six victories in seven mid-season races wrestled the points lead from his team-mate. However, engine failure when on course for victory in Malaysia proved crucial and Rosberg just needed a podium finish in Abu Dhabi to clinch a first world title. Hamilton cut his pace in a vain attempt to back his team-mate into the pursuing pack, despite repeated instructions from the pitwall to increase his speed. He won his fourth race in a row but ended the year as a frustrated runner-up in the championship.

    \n

    With his ultimate goal satisfied, Rosberg immediately announced his retirement from F1 and Hamilton was joined by Valtteri Bottas for 2017. Mercedes initially could not match Ferrari’s race pace but Hamilton responded to Vettel’s challenge in style – sorting the W08’s ills and improving as the year unfolded. They went wheel-to-wheel in Spain and clashed in Baku before the Englishman established himself after the summer break as the Scuderia imploded. Of the 20 championship rounds, Mercedes #44 secured 11 pole positions (to eclipse Michael Schumacher’s outright record) and nine victories to clinch title number four with two races to spare.

    \n

    World titles number five, six and seven

    \n

    Hamilton and Vettel disputed the title once more in 2018 as they vied to become only the third driver in history to become a five-time World Champion. The German won the opening two GPs and his Ferrari was often the quicker package but Hamilton established himself after the summer break as Vettel crashed out of the lead in Germany and had too many first lap incidents. Hamilton eventually clinched yet another World Championship in Mexico for the second successive year, and completed the season with 11 victories and 88 points clear of his closest rival.

    \n

    Hamilton won six of the opening eight GPs of 2019 as Mercedes and the Englishman took control of proceedings once more. Ferrari may have had better single lap pace but too many driver errors and strategy calls again stymied its challenge. That Hamilton only qualified on pole position on five occasions during 2019 was a surprise but he won 11 times and clinched his sixth World Championship by finishing second in America, scoring his highest points tally to date.

    \n

    He followed that up with one of the finest seasons of his career, sealing a record-equalling seventh title with 11 race victories across the year. His Portuguese GP win also moved him clear of Michael Schumacher’s win record, and Hamilton finished up the ’20 season on 95 career wins. Had he not tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the penultimate race of the season, the Mercedes driver may well have gone on to equal the record for most wins in a season. His achievements and records earned him a spot on the New Year Honours list and a knighthood, and there are no signs of his powers waning any time soon.

    \n

    100 grand prix and an F1 season to remember

    \n

    2021 brought Red Bull closer to Mercedes pace and gave fans the title battle they’d been hoping for. Hamilton stood toe to toe with Max Verstappen, with their controversial contacts and war of words becoming an almost bi-weekly event. Throughout the season, each driver would complete a series of sensational drives whilst supplying their own brand of reckless driving – most at Silverstone and Monza.

    \n

    Despite the increased competition, Hamilton managed to reach the 100 grand prix victory mark at the Russian Grand Prix, becoming the first driver in the history of the series to do so. But the pairs most infamous moment was yet to come.

    \n

    After more controversial contact in Brazil and a dominant driving display in the closing races of the season, Hamilton arrived in Abu Dhabi on level terms with his Red Bull rival – one race win away from a record-breaking eighth F1 world title.

    \n

    Despite missing out on pole position, Hamilton was in command of the race by turn one, leading the field for the majority despite Red Bulls best efforts to slow him down. Unfortunately for Hamilton, an unprecedented safety car restart, which saw only the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen unlap themselves, meant the Red Bull was able to take a dramatic last lap victory and steal the title.

    \n

    Back to square one in 2022 

    \n

    Hamilton arrived for pre-season testing in 2022 with a renewed appetite for victory, despite suffering a heartbreaking defeat the year before. Unfortunately his new car, the unruly W13, did not share the same winning pedigree. 

    \n

    Failure to adapt to new technical regulations limited Mercedes’ ability to race at the front of the field, with Hamilton having to settle for occasional podium finishes – contradictory to the Briton’s high standards. Back-to-back second place finishes in Mexico and Brazil reminded fans of his immense talents and places Hamilton on an upward trajectory entering 2023.

      \n \n

      Motorsport is all about pushing yourself and your car to the absolute limit. Over the decades, Formula 1 records have tumbled as drivers have pushed harder, engines have become more powerful and the cars, inevitably, faster.

      \n\n\n\n

      Achievement in F1 is spread between constructors and drivers. Over decades in the sport, teams like Ferrari, McLaren and Williams have broken Formula 1 records with consistently quick cars and the fastest drivers.

      \n\n\n\n

      But inside the cockpit, certain drivers have applied themselves to break personal Formula 1 records. Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton top many of these tables – and we’ve already compared how the two shape up against each other. Watch our video here.

      As of the 2024 season, and despite Max Verstappen’s current domination, Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher are tied with seven titles apiece. The German was dominant at the turn of the century, winning five titles on the bounce with Ferrari. These were in addition to his double world championships with Benetton in the ’90s. It was a record that looked unassailable. However, Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes’ dominance in the hybrid era turned the motorsport world on its head.

      \n\n\n\n

      Hamilton replaced Schumacher at Mercedes after the German’s retirement at the end of 2012. Since then, Hamilton won six world titles between 2014 and 2020. Those six titles, along with his maiden championship in his second season with McLaren, make him the joint-most successful driver ever.

      \n\n\n\n

      Juan Manuel Fangio’s record of five titles in the 1950s stood the test of time. The first great driver of the Formula 1 era, he finished 1st or 2nd in the championship in the first seven seasons he entered. His record stood until 2003 when Schumacher clinched his 6th title. Alain Prost’s battles with Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna and Nelson Piquet earned him four titles. As did Sebastian Vettel’s absolute dominance with Red Bull in the early 2010s.

      As the longest-serving team in Formula 1, it’s no surprise to see Ferrari sitting atop the Constructors’ Championship table. Omnipresent in Formula 1 since its first season in 1950, the Scuderia has become a symbol for the sport. But it’s one thing to turn up to every race, it’s another to win them. For decades, the Scarlet Red Ferrari has been at the front of the grid, and it has won the Constructors’ title 16 times, along with producing the Drivers’ champion on 15 occasions. Its world champions include Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Mike Hawthorn, Phil Hil, Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher and, most recently, Kimi Raikkonen.

      \n\n\n\n

      There’s a gulf between first and second in this list. Williams has been present in Formula 1 since 1977 and took its nine titles throughout the ’80s and ’90s. Keke Rosberg, Alain Prost and Damon Hill are among some of its driver champions. McLaren’s won the constructors’ title on 8 occasions, but produced the drivers champion 12 times, including Lewis Hamilton. He tied up six of Mercedes’ seven titles, with teammate and rival Nico Rosberg taking the other.

      When he first stepped into a Formula 1 car, the paddock knew this guy was special. But when Lewis Hamilton took his first victory in Canada in 2007, no one expected what would follow. Lewis Hamilton stormed to a record 103 victories. However, Hamilton hasn’t won a race since Saudi Arabia in 2021, as Red Bull’s Flying Dutchman has put a stop to his flow of victories…

      Max Verstappen’s record-breaking season in 2023 knocked Ayrton Senna off the fifth and Alain Prost off fourth and, in the last race of the season, Sebastian Vettel off third. Not a bad season for the 26-year old driver.

      Schumacher’s 91 wins came mostly with Ferrari, including a near-perfect year in 2002. He took 11 victories, five 2nd place finished and a single 3rd place. Sebastian Vettel’s record with Red Bull, and his title pushes with Ferrari, earn him the fourth spot.

      As you might expect, the teams with the most championships also make up the teams with the most victories. Ferrari remains way out in front and is the only constructor to take more than 200 race victories.

      \n\n\n\n

      However, the last few years have seen Red Bull enjoy a period of absolute domination. The Austrian team broke the record for consecutive Formula 1 race victories, taking their tally to 15 in a row. The record was previously 11 and held by McLaren, which had stood since 1988.

      In terms of pole positions, there’s a clear winner. Lewis Hamilton is the first driver to reach triple-digit pole positions. He secured his 100th pole position at the Spanish Grand Prix in 2021. His nearest rival is Michael Schumacher, but with 68 pole positions, it doesn’t come close to the British driver’s total.

Each of his other six world championships were won with Mercedes. Only Hamilton and Montoya have achieved a win in their first championship season since the turn of the century (Hamilton in 2007 and Montoya in 2001) which is likely a reflection of increased use of junior teams - and drivers graduating from junior categories into cars that are unfortunately not capable of winning a race. Pierre Gasly\u2019s win at the 2020 Italian GP may serve to prove that point wrong though, after taking victory in an AlphaTauri.

      It feels as though every race in the last year has thrust Hamilton on the path to breaking a new F1 record, largely those once-unbelievable records set by Michael Schumacher.

      \n

      We have also included the records Hamilton shares with another driver, some of which he could hold alone in the next few years.

      \n

      Most wins in Formula 1

      \n

      Lewis Hamilton: 103
      Michael Schumacher: 91
      Sebastian Vettel: 53
      Alain Prost: 51
      Ayrton Senna: 41

      \n

      Hamilton\u2019s dominance has been so profound over the last seven years that not only does he have the most wins (taking 77 of those during his time at Mercedes), but he has almost double the wins of Sebastian Vettel in third place. His first win came in 2007 at the Canadian Grand Prix, just six races into his rookie season, while his most recent win was the 2021 Russian Grand Prix.

      \n

      Most points in Formula 1

      \n

      Lewis Hamilton: 4193.5
      Sebastian Vettel: 3065
      Fernando Alonso: 1982
      Kimi Raikkonen: 1873
      Valtteri Bottas: 1762
      Nico Rosberg: 1594.5

      \n

      You may be surprised to see the absence of some of the F1 greats of this list, and that is because the current points system of awarding 25 points for a win was only introduced in 2010. Before that, since 1991, drivers received only 10 points for a win.

      \n

      Prior to 1991, a driver would claim nine points for a win, and eight points between 1950 and 1960. In addition, there were fewer races in season, and up to 2009 only the top eight finishers got points.

      \n

      Overall, the last 10 years or so have been far more conducive to racking up points, and the modern points system certainly skews the count in favour of drivers over the past decade. Rosberg\u2019s additional half point comes from the 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix when the race was stopped due to rain on lap 31 of 56. Half points were awarded as full points are only given after 75% of the race has elapsed.

      While Hamilton will have to beat five other drivers before he breaks Raikkonen\u2019s record of F1 races started (a whopping 334 entries and counting) he does hold the record for the most consecutive race starts. After testing positive for COVID-19, Hamilton had to miss the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix. Before this, Hamilton had never missed a start since his 2007 debut.

      Hamilton\u2019s cars have only ever been powered by Mercedes, whether with McLaren between 2007 and 2012 and of course now with the Mercedes works team. Thus, he has more than surpassed his competitors in this record.

      \n

      Most consecutive points finishes

      \n

      Lewis Hamilton: 48
      Kimi Raikkonen: 27
      Michael Schumacher: 24
      Fernando Alonso: 23
      Valtteri Bottas: 22

      \n

      Hamilton consecutively scored points 48 times between the 2018 British Grand Prix and the 2020 Bahrain GP, missing the following Sakhir Grand Prix after contracting COVID-19. This is somewhat contentious; some may argue that because he did not start, his streak should continue because he did not technically record a non-points scoring finish. Nonetheless, Hamilton safely has this record secured not only thanks to his potency in Mercedes machinery, but also their reliability.

      \n

      Hamilton\u2019s first pole position was at the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, one of six achieved in his first F1 season. Hamilton has achieved at least one pole position in every season he has competed in, ranging from one pole position in 2011 and 2012, up to 12 pole positions in 2016.

      Alain Prost: 106
      Kimi Raikkonen: 103

      \n

      The lowest number of podiums Hamilton achieved in a single season was five in 2009 for McLaren, and also in 2013 with Mercedes. He's had one podium so far in 2022.

      \n

      Fernando Alonso: 218
      Sebastian Vettel: 210

      \n

      This is another record that Hamilton has taken from Schumacher. While the German may have started more races, Hamilton has finished in the points more often, scoring 239 times so far. Such has been the consistency of the Hamilton and Mercedes axis that he scored points in every race of the 2017 season \u2013 his worst finish being a ninth place in the Mexican Grand Prix.

      Valtteri Bottas: 9.67
      Nico Rosberg: 7.74

      \n

      Again, the modern points system skews in the favour of modern drivers. It is an unusual record in the sense that drivers can knock themselves off the top by scoring fewer points, and therefore reducing your overall average, a reality which might affect Vettel based on his 2020 and 2021 points scoring precedent.

      \n

      Nico Rosberg and Esteban Ocon: 27 (2008 Canadian Grand Prix-2009 Japanese Grand Prix and 2016 Belgian Grand Prix-2017 Mexican Grand Prix)

      \n

      This is another record halted by Hamilton\u2019s positive COVID test in 2020. Again, this is a testament to both Hamilton\u2019s abilities and the reliability of the cars provided by Mercedes.

      \n

      The vast majority of Hamilton\u2019s poles have been with Mercedes - with Melbourne being his most successful circuit for pole positions, where he has secured pole eight times.

      \n

      Only driver to win a race in every season completed

      \n

      Hamilton has won as little as one race in a season (2013), all the way up to 11 wins which he has achieved in multiple seasons since joining Mercedes. Though only three races in, he is yet to win in 2022 - failing to do so will mean his record run comes to an end.

      Records Hamilton shares with others

      \n

      Most world championships

      \n

      Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton: 7
      Juan Manuel Fangio: 5
      Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel: 4

      \n

      An eighth world championship in 2021 was on Hamilton's radar until the last race of the season, when he lost both the lead of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and the championship, to Verstappen on the final lap.

      \n

      He clinched his first world title in a particularly nail-biting manner in 2008 with McLaren, beating Ferrari rival Felipe Massa on the final corner of the last lap of the last race of the season. Each of his other six world championships were won with Mercedes. He is also the current world champion, after cruising to the 2020 driver\u2019s championship in the dominant Mercedes W11.

      \n

      Most wins in first championship season

      \n

      Jacques Villeneuve and Lewis Hamilton: 4
      Juan Manuel Fangio and Giuseppe Farina: 3
      Johnnie Parsons, Giancarlo Baghetti, Jackie Stewart, Clay Regazzoni, Emerson Fittipaldi and Juan Pablo Montoya: 1

      \n

      This is obviously not a record that Hamilton can work on beating, so he will have to settle with sharing this record with 1997 world champion Villeneuve - who broke out of the traps in impressive fashion the previous year with Williams.

      \n

      Only Hamilton and Montoya have achieved a win in their first championship season since the turn of the century (Hamilton in 2007 and Montoya in 2001) which is likely a reflection of increased use of junior teams - and drivers graduating from junior categories into cars that are unfortunately not capable of winning a race. Pierre Gasly\u2019s win at the 2020 Italian GP may serve to prove that point wrong though, after taking victory in an AlphaTauri.

      \n

      Most wins at the same grand prix

      \n

      Michael Schumacher (French GP) and Lewis Hamilton (British GP and Hungarian GP): 8
      Alain Prost (Brazilian GP and French GP) and Ayrton Senna (Monaco GP): 6

      \n

      While Hamilton shares this record with Schumacher like many of his other records, this one is slightly difficult to rank because while Schumacher and Hamilton have each won eight times at their respective GPs, Hamilton has achieved the feat at two different GPs.

      \n

      They have also each won seven times at other grands prix each (Schumacher on two occasions to Hamilton's one), and then six times at seven more GPs between them.

      \n

      While Prost and Senna are also ranked, Hamilton and Schumacher would still cover the top five easily between them if repeating drivers.

      Juan Manuel Fangio (Argentine GP), Jim Clark (Belgian and British GP), Ayrton Senna (Belgian GP) and Michael Schumacher (Spanish GP and United States GP): 4

      \n

      Hamilton\u2019s record for most consecutive wins at the same grand prix is still ongoing, as he has won the Spanish GP every year since 2017 - including 2021.

      \n

      Most consecutive seasons with at least one grand prix win

      \n

      Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton: 15
      Alain Prost: 10
      Ayrton Senna: 9
      Nelson Piquet: 8

      \n

      Having won a race in every season he has competed in (2007\u20132021), Hamilton\u2019s streak is still ongoing.

      \n

      Most podium finishes in a season

      \n

      Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton: 17
      Nico Rosberg: 16
      Fernando Alonso and Valtteri Bottas: 15

      \n

      Hamilton achieved 17 podium finishes in a single season four times, in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019. Remarkably, Schumacher\u2019s 17 podiums were the result of only 17 entries that season, so that could be a feat Hamilton could aim for, although it is no longer possible in 2021 after a tough weekend in Monaco.

      \n

      Fewest world championship seasons before first title

      \n

      Jacques Villeneuve and Lewis Hamilton: 2 seasons
      Denny Hulme and Emerson Fittipaldi: 3 seasons

      \n

      Another record that Hamilton shares that he cannot work towards holding alone. However, the nature of contemporary F1 means that junior drivers seldom step up into race-winning cars, so he may have this record for a fair while.
