Sir Lewis Hamilton Adds New Records to an Already Historic Formula 1 Career in a Thrilling 2024 Season

It’s August, and that means the Formula 1 circus gets a bit of a summer break. And what a season it’s been! Unlike the entirety of the 2023 season, which saw only three different race winners from two teams across 22 races, we’re halfway through 2024 and have already witnessed six different winners from four teams. The most recent winner (as of this writing) has set a few records in F1, and with this victory, he’s added another to his list. So, we thought it would be a perfect time to recap and add to all of Sir Lewis Hamilton’s F1 records. (And by the way, his distant cousin works here at VIMC.)

Most races won at the same Grand Prix: 9 (Silverstone)
