Hamilton fading away at Ferrari after Verstappen masterstroke
Lewis Hamilton’s all-time F1 ranking faces a serious challenge from Max Verstappen, who is rapidly closing in on the seven-time champion’s records. Hamilton leads in race wins, pole positions, podiums, and shares the most world championships with Michael Schumacher. Verstappen recently equaled Hamilton’s career statistic of six grand slams, making him joint-second with the British driver in this aspect. A grand slam in F1 involves securing pole position, leading every lap, setting the fastest lap, and winning the race. Despite Hamilton’s dominance, Verstappen’s success with grand slams indicates his potential to surpass the current records. Jim Clark, with eight grand slams in just 25 career wins, showcases exceptional efficiency in F1 history. As both Hamilton and Verstappen chase these milestones, the dynamics of the sport promise thrilling competitions ahead.
