The next entrant in our Hall of Fame series is Lewis Hamilton. F1 needed a new star after Michael Schumacher's retirement...it found one straightaway.
PlanetF1’s Hall of Fame: Lewis Hamilton – the superstar F1 was looking forFormula 1 was in need of a new superstar after Michael Schumacher’s retirement at the end of the 2006 season.
The immense potential hinted at through Ron Dennis’s support of him as a child – through the footage of him recovering from an early spin to reach the podium in a GP2 race in Istanbul, effectively Race Zero of his F1 career – was instantly realised. The dramatic circumstances of his success over Felipe Massa at Interlagos, overtaking on the last corner of the last lap of the last race, had the undeniable feel of destiny and seemed to cement his reputation as ‘Roy of the Rovers’ in a racing car.
Compare and contrast the boys next door of the modern world, a band of brothers livestreaming their sim-racing adventures from the sanctuary of their bedrooms, to McLaren’s handling of Hamilton in the early days. Yet despite Mercedes’ confidence of mastering the new hybrid era – the dream was famously sold to Hamilton by Ross Brawn and Niki Lauda with respective visits to his mother’s house and a Singapore hotel room – even he may admit the move was based mostly on his exasperation with his existing environment.a member of the modern breed of emotionally intelligent leaders in sport equipped with the courage to let Lewis be Lewis.
The day the bad starts finally stopped was the day he could no longer afford any more after Rosberg’s victory in Japan meant he could afford to finish second at each of the final four races and still win the title. Once F1’s great leveller, races in the rain made his advantage over the opposition, normally considerable, seem borderline unfair as team and driver grew together to reach a state of total harmony.and Ferrari were worn down in consecutive years in 2017 and ’18, the sight of Hamilton in a Mercedes had become just as formidable as any to have come before – from Schumacher in a Ferrari to Ayrton Senna in a McLaren.
