Istanbul (AFP): Lewis Hamilton clinched a seventh Formula One world title on Sunday (November 15) after winning the Turkish Grand Prix.
The Briton equaled Michael Schumacher’s driver crowns with three races remaining of the season.
The 35-year-old sealed his latest title with a typically measured masterclass, handling dangerous early rain conditions to claim his 94th career victory despite starting sixth on the grid.
Hamilton, who sealed his first title in 2008, was adding to his unprecedented record list: more wins with 94, more pole positions, more podiums and more consecutive points.
His victory in Istanbul gave him an unassailable lead over his only rival, his teammate Valtteri Bottas, with two races in Bahrain and the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to come.
Hamilton was followed home Sunday by Racing Point’s Sergio Perez with Sebastian Vettel for Ferrari in third place. Bottas fell in position 14.- AFP
