The British Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) equaled German Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 Formula 1 victories by winning this Sunday at the Eifel Grand Prix, disputed in the German circuit of Nurburgring, consolidating its position of leader of the World-wide one.
To achieve his seventh victory in 2020, Hamilton prevailed in front of the Dutchman Max Verstappen (Redbull) and Australian Daniel Ricciardo (Renault), which offers his team its first podium since 2011, after starting second on the grid.
The Brit took advantage of the mechanical problems of his Finnish partner Valtteri Bottas, who had to leave on the 17th lap of the 60 he had this eleventh run of the season, and an impeccable race strategy.
Hamilton’s first F1 victory dates back to the 2007 season, at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, in a Mercedes-powered McLaren.
And went Mick Schumacher, son of “Schumi”, who offered Lewis Hamilton a helmet from his father before the Briton took the podium for the 160th time in his F1 career, in 261 contested grands prix.
In the World Cup, Hamilton now has a 69-point lead over Bottas and 83 over Verstappen. Barring huge catastrophe, he is well on his way to equaling another record by the legendary German driver, winning a seventh Formula 1 world champion title.
The Mexican Sergio Pérez (Racing Point) and the Spanish Carlos Sainz (McLaren), after a magnificent fight, took fourth and fifth positions. .
