Lewis Hamilton has been participating in Formula 1 since 2007. The upcoming weekend of the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix reminded him of his first victory in the sport. Hamilton clinched his inaugural win in Montreal at the age of 22 while racing for McLaren.
Hamilton made his debut in the pinnacle of motorsport with McLaren in 2007 and it took him six races to secure his first victory. Despite the challenges faced during the ground effect era, the 39-year-old driver is happy to reflect on this cherished memory.
Since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Hamilton has not secured a victory in the sport. Prior to this week’s event, the seven-time world champion shared an emotional message. He emphasizes that his inaugural win was a dream come true in his brilliant career.
In addition to discussing his first F1 victory on Instagram, Hamilton has recently expressed his desire to improve his position on the grid with Mercedes. The British driver aims to reduce the gap to McLaren and Ferrari in the W15.
Currently, Hamilton is in eighth place in the constructors’ championship with 42 points. Despite Mercedes being the fourth fastest team on the grid, the gap to the teams ahead is significant. Fans anticipate that Hamilton and his team will introduce several upgrades in Montreal, making it intriguing to witness their performance during this week’s event.
