The 24-year-old achieved this milestone by finishing fourth in the recent United States Grand Prix.

The penalty was a result of Norris gaining an advantage off the track and passing Max Verstappen.

It is noteworthy that Hamilton amassed his 913 points under a different points system as the current one was introduced in 2010.
