Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton reached a historic milestone on Sunday, becoming only the second driver in the sport's history to start 400 Grand Prix races. The British driver, now racing for Ferrari, achieved the landmark at the Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo.
Hamilton joins an exclusive club previously occupied solely by Fernando Alonso, who reached the 400-start mark earlier in his career. The 39-year-old Briton made his F1 debut with McLaren in 2007 and has since accumulated seven world championships, 104 race victories, and 104 pole positions across his career with McLaren, Mercedes, and now Ferrari.
The milestone race at Interlagos marks Hamilton's first season with the Scuderia following his high-profile move from Mercedes at the end of 2025. Despite the team change, Hamilton's consistency and longevity have allowed him to continue adding to his record-breaking statistics in the sport's premier category.
