F1 | History for Hamilton as he aims for 300th start at French Grand Prix

The Hindu  

Lewis Hamilton believes he can make Formula One history as the first driver to win a race after reaching the milestone of 300 grand prix starts. Finland's Kimi Raikkonen bowed out last year after a record 349 races, but was without a win since 2018, while it has been nearly a decade since still active Spaniard Fernando Alonso last won. Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, his ex-Ferrari team mate and seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher and Britain's Jenson Button retired long after their last triumphs. Hamilton highlighted three races—his debut in Australia, the first win in Canada in 2007 and first home grand prix at Silverstone.
