Lewis Hamilton eyes final flourish starting with Bahrain GP
Newly-crowned seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will have his sights set on rounding off a dominant season with a flourish as Formula One heads into its season ending triple-header starting with Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix.
The Briton, who had surpassed Michael Schumacher’s record haul of wins, pole positions and podiums, became Formula One’s most successful driver ever after he equalled the German great’s tally of seven titles at the last race in Turkey.
Three wins from the final three races will see him tie another of the Ferrari legend’s records, making him only the third driver after Schumacher and Vettel to win 13 races in a year and the 2020 season his most successful in Formula One yet.
“There’s just no end to what we can do together, me and this team,” said Hamilton, who has averaged 10 wins a season for the last six years but never scored more than 11 victories in a campaign, after the race in Turkey.
“I feel like I’m only just getting started.”
