‘Twenty years older and $1billion poorer’: F1 fans astonished by Hamilton photo
Fans have been amazed by a photo circulating on social media of a young Lewis Hamilton. At 40 years old, Hamilton is the most successful driver in Formula 1 history, boasting numerous records. The image, dating back to 2006 when he was in the GP2 series, has sparked discussions among fans. Impressing during the GP2 season, McLaren signed Hamilton for the 2007 F1 season after a successful test at Silverstone. Despite early jokes about his appearance in an old interview photo, Hamilton’s rookie F1 year in 2007 was remarkable, missing out on the championship by just one point. Since then, he has accumulated 101 Grand Prix wins and seven world championships, solidifying his place in F1 history.
