Lewis Hamilton's tryst with Formula 1: How the seven-time champion carved a legacy for himself

Firstpost  

Unlike most Formula 1 drivers, Hamilton didn’t have a racer dad, a famous surname or rich parents. The 2020 Turkish Grand Prix concluded with a scene we’ve seen in Formula 1 numerous times in these past seasons – Lewis Hamilton taking the chequered flag as the winner of a Grand Prix. But this was no ordinary race victory, it was a race victory for the record books, as Hamilton claimed the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship and equalised Michael Schumacher’s all-time record of seven world titles. I hope your realise that we’ve created #HIS7ORY together.” ❤️ pic.twitter.com/znkPDvjCRZ — Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team November 15, 2020 A dream come true It almost feels like Hamilton’s entire tryst with Formula 1 has been nothing less than a dream. Michael Schumacher was asked the question back in 2008.#F1 pic.twitter.com/3YXhVWWDYa — Formula 1 November 15, 2020 Comparisons with Schumacher A natural outcome of Hamilton equalising Schumacher’s all-time record is endless comparisons between the two greats.
