Career to date
Lewis Hamilton’s entry into Formula 1 in 2007 remains one of the most impactful debuts in the sport's history. Partnering Fernando Alonso at McLaren, Hamilton achieved a podium in his first race and challenged for the championship until the final round. He secured his first World Championship in 2008, becoming the youngest champion at the time. After several seasons with McLaren, Hamilton made a pivotal move to Mercedes in 2013, replacing Michael Schumacher. This partnership redefined the modern era of the sport, as Hamilton secured six additional titles between 2014 and 2020, overseeing a period of unprecedented technical dominance. In 2025, Hamilton embarked on a new chapter by joining Scuderia Ferrari, a move that united the sport’s most successful driver with its most historic team.
