Without a shadow of a doubt, five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will go down as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all-time - if not, THE greatest.
The Mercedes man has a 31-point lead over teammate Valtteri Bottas in the 2019 Drivers Championship standings and Hamilton is a red-hot favourite with 888sport to win his sixth world title.
Another triumph will move Hamilton to just one behind the legendary Michael Schumacher and we could see the British driver topple the Ferrari star in the not-so-distant future.
Here, we look at five of Hamilton’s greatest Grand Prix wins in Formula One – starting with his first ever victory in the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix.
Canadian Grand Prix (2007)
The logical place to start, Hamilton gained his first Grand Prix victory in Montreal and he will always have a certain affinity with the Canadian race. The British driver enjoyed a successful start to life in Formula One, with five podiums in his first five races.
However, he had to wait until race number six to notch his first Grand Prix success. Having qualified on pole position, Hamilton was expected to go close in his pursuit of Formula One glory but nobody expected him to hold first place for the whole race.
Just 22 years old at the time, Hamilton looked like a young driver capable of winning the world title. That Canadian Grand Prix victory helped set the benchmark for Hamilton’s future success, with another 78 wins in the last 12 years.
Now the second most successful F1 driver of all-time in terms of race victories, he has Schumacher’s tally of 91 Grand Prix wins in his sights.
Monaco Grand Prix (2008)
In just his second season in Formula One, Hamilton did the unthinkable. He collided with the wall at the 2008 Monaco Grand Prix but still went on to win the race.
There was an element of luck though, with Hamilton losing just three place son the grid due to wet conditions. However, most Formula One viewers believed that Hamilton’s chance of Grand Prix glory was over after his contact at Tabac.
McLaren decided to adopt a long-fuel strategy for his second stint and it was a stroke of genius, with Hamilton slowly but surely advancing through the field up to first position.
There was more drama to come though as Hamilton was hit by a slow puncture on the final lap but the McLaren driver crawled over the line to secure a miraculous victory. His first win in the race and still one of the most eventful Grand Prix events at Circuit de Monaco.
British Grand Prix (2008)
Another wet race, another victory for Hamilton. Silverstone isn’t the most straightforward circuit to navigate at the best of times so for Hamilton to blitz the field in only his second year in the sport was very impressive indeed.
Without a doubt, this ranks as one of his greatest Formula One moments. Hamilton eventually finished an incredible 68 seconds clear of closest rival Nick Heidfeld – one of the widest margins of victory in Formula One history.
It was the perfect way for Hamilton to notch his first British Grand Prix success and not even the heavy rain could dampen the spirits of the home crowd.
Starting from fourth place on the grid, Hamilton was leading by lap five and he pulled away from the chasing pack with a dominant performance. It will go down as a legendary moment in Formula One history, not just in terms of Hamilton’s motorsport career.
Bahrain Grand Prix (2014)
For neutrals, the 2014 Formula One season was tedious. But for Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, it was fantastic. Mercedes were clear of the rest on a regular basis and it was essentially a two-horse race for the Drivers’ Championship from early on in the campaign.
Bahrain was one of the key moments of that season, with Hamilton having to fend off a very aggressive Rosberg on two separate occasions.
The second time, he had to defend for the final 10 laps of the race with Hamilton just about keeping his teammate behind to snatch his second Grand Prix victory of the season.
Hamilton went on to win the World Championship at the end of 2014 and that victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix was arguably the turning point for success. Had Rosberg made it three from three, Hamilton may never have recovered in the world title race.
German Grand Prix (2018)
Heading into Sunday’s Grand Prix, Hamilton was on the back foot. A hydraulics failure during qualifying meant that the Mercedes driver was starting from 14th position on the grid with World Championship leader Sebastian Vettel on pole for his home race.
What followed was simply sensational. Mercedes gave Hamilton the green light to go for it despite adverse weather conditions and the British driver did not hold back, using the kind of skills developed during his go-karting years in his junior career.
He went from 14th on the grid to top of the podium, retaking the championship lead. From that moment, you just knew Hamilton was going to win his fifth world title.
Hamilton himself described the victory as one of the best of his career and you’d have to make him right. It was a masterclass from one of Formula One’s greatest ever drivers and it will live long in the memory of motorsport fans.
