Lewis Hamilton is the yardsticks by which greatness is measured. A seven-time World Champion’s place amongst the greats is already secure. The only question fans still love to debate is whether he's simply one of the greatest... or the greatest.
What makes Hamilton special isn't just the records and the trophies – although we’d like to see his trophy cabinet - it's the relentless pursuit of more. More speed. More performance. More possibility. One race weekend he can be delivering a surgical drive at the front, the next he's charging through the field with the determination of someone who forgot he's already won almost everything there is to win.
In 2007, Lewis Hamilton's Formula 1® story started at Albert Park and while we can't claim any of Lewis Hamilton’s achievements, we'd like to think it was Melbourne that gave the world a pretty memorable first glimpse of what was to come.
Off the track, Hamilton is recognised for using his platform to champion diversity, inclusion and positive change. Yet at his core, he remains what he has always been: a competitor driven by the pursuit of excellence.
For Formula 1® fans, Lewis Hamilton is not simply one of the sport’s greats. He is a defining figure of a generation.
