Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton is a British Formula One racing driver who is presently under a contract with the pro team, ‘Mercedes AMG Petronas.’ In his debut season in 2007, Lewis lost the ‘World Championship’ by just a single point, becoming one of the best racing talents to look out for. Since then, Lewis hasn’t disappointed his fans and his team. He has gone on to become one of the top F1 racers in the world with seven ‘World Championships’ in his highly successful career so far. He is known as an all-rounder on the track as there is hardly an aspect of Formula 1 racing that he hasn’t excelled. With the most number of career points and most number of victories in different circuits, he has been the most successful British F1 driver of all time. He also has set the record for most wins in a single season without being victorious in the ‘World Championship’ in 2016. Hamilton keeps growing as a racer and is already standing amongst the greatest Formula One drivers of all time. He is often compared to the ace racer Michael Schumacher.
