How Hamilton's critical changes decided a Turkish GP "that wasn’t his race to win"
After a grand prix that kept everybody guessing, Lewis Hamilton emerged triumphant as a seven-time world champion. The result had looked highly unlikely in the early stages, but experience and intuition meant an unlikely strategy worked in his favour
"If we're honest, it wasn't his race to win and he still won it. Once again he managed to pull out something special out of that bag."
From one world champion, to another. Back in 2018, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton had duked it out for the crown and the honour of becoming Formula 1's third five-time world champion. Now, following his victory in last weekend's Turkish Grand Prix, Hamilton is three clear of his long-time rival, level with Michael Schumacher as the championship's two seven-time title winners.
