Lewis Hamilton

The Definitive Biography of the Most Successful Driver in F1 History

After equalling Michael Schumacher's record of seven world titles, and overtaking him as having the most race wins, pole positions, and podium finishes, Sir Lewis Hamilton became the most successful racing driver of all time—and the most dominant and successful Briton ever to drive in Formula 1.
