    Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton (born 7 January 1985) is a British racing
    driver, currently competing in Formula One for Mercedes. Hamilton has won a
    joint-record seven Formula One World Drivers' Championship titles—tied
    with Michael Schumacher—and holds the records for most wins (105), pole
    positions (104), and podium finishes (202), among others.

    Born and raised in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Hamilton began his career


    in karting aged six, winning several national titles and attracting the attention
    of Ron Dennis, who signed him the McLaren Young Driver Programme in 1998.
    After winning the direct-drive Karting World Cup and European Championship in
    2000, Hamilton progressed to junior formulae, where his successes included
    winning the Formula 3 Euro Series and the GP2 Series. He subsequently
    signed for McLaren in 2007, becoming the first black driver to compete in
    Formula One at the Australian Grand Prix. In his rookie season, Hamilton won
    four Grands Prix and set several records as he finished runner-up to Kimi
    Räikkönen by one point. Hamilton won his maiden title in 2008, making a title-
    deciding overtake on the last lap of the last race of the season to become
    the then-youngest World Drivers' Champion. The dominant Red Bull-
    Renault combination prevailed throughout his remaining four seasons at
    McLaren, with Hamilton achieving multiple race wins in each, including his
    involvement in a four-way title battle in 2010.
    Hamilton signed for Mercedes in 2013 to partner Nico Rosberg, ending his 15-
    year association with McLaren. Following his maiden victory with the team at
    the Hungarian Grand Prix, new engine regulations came into effect the following
    season, which saw Mercedes emerge as the dominant force in Formula One.
    From 2014 to 2016, Hamilton and Rosberg won 51 of 59 Grands Prix amidst
    their fierce rivalry—widely known as The Silver War—with Hamilton winning the
    former titles in 2014 and 2015, and Rosberg winning the latter. Following
    Rosberg's retirement, Hamilton twice overturned mid-season point deficits
    to Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel to claim his fourth and fifth titles in 2017 and 2018.
    Hamilton won his sixth title in 2019, before breaking several records across
    his 2020 campaign—including the all-time win record at the Portuguese Grand
    Prix—to equal Michael Schumacher's record of seven World Drivers'
    Championships. Hamilton became the first driver to surpass 100 race wins and
    pole positions in 2021, finishing runner-up to Max Verstappen amidst
    a controversial finish. Following winless campaigns in 2022 and 2023, Hamilton
    took his record-breaking ninth British Grand Prix victory in 2024. After 12
    seasons with Mercedes, Hamilton is set to join Ferrari from 2025 onwards.

    Hamilton has been credited with furthering Formula One's global following by
    appealing to a broader audience outside the sport, in part due to his high-profile
    lifestyle, amongst his environmental and social activism. He has also become a
    prominent advocate in support of racial justice and increased diversity in
    motorsport. Hamilton was listed in the 2020 issue of Time as one of the 100
    most influential people globally, and was knighted in the 2021 New Year
    Honours.
