Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport culminated its enormously dominant 2020 season by clinching the seventh consecutive Formula 1 drivers and constructors’ championship at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, underscoring its continued dominance over the current turbo hybrid era. The chaotic race was won once again by none other than six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who extends his own winning record to 93.
The Briton took the lead over teammate and polesitter Valterri Bottas in the middle of the race after benefiting from a pit stop during a virtual safety car, which was activated following the retirement of Esteban Ocon from Renault. Bottas was paralyzed by the damage caused by running over debris early in the race, but held his ground to secure second place, giving Mercedes a 1-2 finish to further sweeten the weekend.
Arguably the team had the easiest race to both titles to date, having widened the performance gap with traditional rivals Red Bull and Ferrari to abyss-like levels during the winter and the prolonged shutdown brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. . He has won all but two races so far, losing only to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in the 70th anniversary GP at Silverstone and Alpha Tauri’s Pierre Gasly in an upside-down Italian GP at Monza.
Not only has Mercedes sealed the team title at Imola, beating a record set by Ferrari in the early 2000s with the help of Michael Schumacher, but it has also blocked the race for the drivers’ championship, which can now only be won by either one. Hamilton and Bottas. The former has an 85-point lead with four races to go and looks poised for his seventh crown this year, equaling a record again set by Schumacher.
