Few would argue that Lewis Hamilton isn’t one of, if not the, greatest Formula One driver of all time. The Brit has forged his own path to the pinnacle of Motorsport, and once there, he didn’t stop until matching Michael Shumacher’s impressive tally of seven drivers’ titles, making him truly one of the greats. Most remember his 12 seasons with Mercedes, during which he broke a heap of F1 records, but Mclaren was really where it all started. Hamilton debuted for Mclaren in 2007, and stood on the podium at his first race, in Melbourne. The year after his rookie season, in 2008, he became world champion for the first time. That was also the last during his time at Mclaren, which prompted a move to Mercedes in 2013. After that, six more championships followed as Hamilton proved that with determination and the right mind-set, you can accomplish anything. His move to Ferrari in 2025 was not as smooth as he might’ve wanted, but he’ll be even more determined than ever to get that win in red in 2026.
