Following these successes, McLaren accepted him into the training program for young car racers, and at the age of 23, he was announced in 2007 as the second driver in the F1 Championship of the season alongside the legendary Fernando Alonso. Although he finished second, his debut season was indeed an impressive one, as he set records and was able to keep up with others. He set a new record for a rookie’s highest score, 109, the most podiums for a rookie, 9, and then repeated an earlier record for a rookie’s most wins, 4. The next season, of course, he finished one step better and won the World Championship for the first time when he asked for the second time.

Until his move to Mercedes AMG Petronas at the end of the 2012 season, Hamilton did not finish fourth overall and two years after his move to Mercedes he won the drivers’ championship again, back to back (2014 and 2015). In 2016 he would then lose to his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, but in 2017 he reclaimed his World Championship title and became World Champion four times, finishing third on the winners’ list.
