Lewis Hamilton’s F1 Journey Takes an Unexpected Turn: A Record-Breaking Streak and Ferrari’s Shadow Looms

In a dramatic twist at the United States Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has found himself on the brink of an unwanted record while simultaneously achieving a monumental milestone in Formula One history. The seven-time world champion’s failure to clinch a podium finish in Austin means he is poised to break the notorious record for the most race starts without a Ferrari podium — a dubious honor previously held by Didier Pironi.

Hamilton’s race in Austin marked his 19th outing with Ferrari, with his highest finish being a disappointing fourth place — a position he has now replicated at Imola, Austria, and Silverstone. The Briton finished behind teammate Charles Leclerc, who snagged the last podium spot, leaving Hamilton with a bitter taste as he heads into the next race in Mexico City. Should he manage to secure a top-three finish there, he will finally break the record that has haunted him since joining the iconic Scuderia.

The historical context of this looming record cannot be understated. Didier Pironi, famed for his controversial tactics during the 1982 San Marino GP, had to endure 19 races before achieving his first podium with Ferrari. Hamilton, with a legacy of excellence, is set to eclipse that mark in his 20th race — a stark reminder of how quickly fortunes can shift in the high-octane world of Formula One.

However, the narrative isn’t all gloom for Hamilton, who also became the FIRST driver in the sport’s illustrious history to surpass a staggering 5,000 career points! Currently sitting at 5,004.50 points, Hamilton’s tally includes an intriguing half-point from the 2021 Belgian GP, where the race’s abandonment saw his third-place finish halved. This milestone is a testament to his enduring talent and consistency, even amid struggles with his new team.

Yet, it’s essential to acknowledge the shifting landscape of Formula One scoring. Modern drivers, with the introduction of a more generous points system, have the advantage of accruing points at a much higher rate compared to legends like Michael Schumacher. Under the previous points system, Schumacher’s score would equate to 3,880 points using the 2025 grand prix structure, placing him behind Hamilton and ahead of the current star, Max Verstappen, who has 3,229.50 points.

As Hamilton prepares for the next race, the stakes have never been higher. Will he finally break free from the shadow of this unwanted record, or will he continue to grapple with the challenges of a new team? One thing is certain: the world will be watching as one of F1’s greatest legends fights to reclaim his place among the elite. The tension is palpable, and the drama is only just beginning!
