Formula 1 is heading to Le Castellet for the 12th round of the championship. A Grand Prix of great significance in many ways, but for Lewis Hamilton, this race will mark an important milestone in his career.<\/p>\n
Indeed, if everything goes well, the French Formula 1 Grand Prix will mark Lewis Hamilton’s 300th start in a Grand Prix. This long lineage of Grand Prix started in 2007 at the Australian Grand Prix with McLaren alongside another tricentennial: Fernando Alonso. It has been followed by 16 seasons, 103 victories and pole positions, and 7 World Championship titles.<\/p>\n
He then joins the exclusive club of drivers who have competed in 300 Grand Prix races alongside:<\/p>\n
– Jenson Button<\/p>\n
– Rubens Barrichello<\/p>\n
– Michael Schumacher<\/p>\n
– Fernando Alonso<\/p>\n
– et le d\u00e9tenteur actuel du record: Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen avec 350 Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Note that Alonso should break this record from the Finnish driver during the season, as he is only 5 Grand Prix behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
