Lewis Hamilton came to Mercedes amid doubts from both himself and his fans. That day, Top Gear MC Jeremy Clarkson even quipped to him that moving from McLaren to Mercedes was no different from moving from Man United to West Ham. But Mercedes has carefully prepared a long-distance plan with the British driver.

During the entire 2013 season, Mercedes focused entirely on plans for the new 2014 car generation. And that trade-off brought extremely memorable results. For the next 2 consecutive years, the championship belonged to Lewis. Even if there were no internal problems at Mercedes, Hamilton could even win the entire 2016 season.

But four years later, no one can stop this boy from Stevenage from standing on top of the world. He became the second driver after Michael Schumacher to have 7 world championships in the 2020 season. It can be said that Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes are the most perfect pair that Formula 1 has ever had.

From a midnight call from Niki Lauda and that overnight chat, we witnessed history being made by Hamilton and Mercedes. If it weren’t for Lauda’s persistence, perhaps Lewis would still only have 21 wins.

After this year, the most successful driver will move to the most successful racing team, and once again we hope it will be a perfect combination like what he did with Mercedes.
