Hamilton won the world championship for the seventh time in his career
British driver Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes, won the F1 World Championship for the seventh time in his career after winning the Turkey race, to equal the record set on behalf of German legend Michael Schumacher as the most successful driver in the world championship. .
By winning the race in Turkey, the fourteenth stage of the world championship, Hamilton won his tenth race this season.
Hamilton extended the lead over Finnish teammate Valtteri Bottas at the top of the World Championship to 110 points three rounds before the end of the season, so the latter could not mathematically catch him.
Mexican Sergio Pérez (Racing Point) and German Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) finished second in the race.
In addition to his equalization of the record for the number of world titles, Hamilton holds many other records, most notably for the number of wins (94 wins), the number of podium promotions (163 times) and the number of starts since the first place (97 times).
“I can’t find the right words,” said Hamilton, who wept with the impression of having achieved this achievement when he crossed the finish line. “What I have achieved exceeded all my dreams.”
