He no longer has anyone ahead.

equaled

record of seven F1 World Cups on Sunday with his victory at the Turkish Grand Prix

.

The other great record, the triumphs, had improved it last month.

The one with 'poles', three years ago;

and the podium, in August.

Hamilton is already eternal.

Born on January 7 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Hamilton had broken Schumacher's pole record (68) three years ago at Monza.

He improved the number of victories (91) the last weekend of October in Portimao.

Before, in Montmeló he had beaten the podium (155).

And this Sunday he equaled, by showing off in the wet, with another victory the last great record held by the 'Kaiser': no ​​one ever surpasses his seven World Cups.

The British star is named Lewis Carl in honor of

, the great sprinter of the last century.

And it is no coincidence, then, that he is rapidly improving his own records, aboard the triumphant Mercedes, perhaps the most powerful ship in F1 history.

With which this Sunday he certified the achievement of the sixth of the last seven championships.

Six crowns that, added to that of 2008 with McLaren, make him a seven-time champion.

Equaling Schumacher, who won the first two (1994-95) with Benetton, before chaining a streak of five (2000-2004) with Ferrari.

Hungry for success

Hamilton does not miss the advantage that Brackley's car gives him.

It rises like foam.

And he improves his milestones as the new son of the wind that he has become.

He already has 97 'poles', 163 podiums and 94 wins.

And if he reaches a renewal agreement with Mercedes, given that the abrupt change of the regulations will not take place until 2022, next year he will be a clear favorite to an eighth title.

"I don't know why people retire when they retire; but that, for the moment, does not cross my mind. And one thing is very clear to me: I love to drive," Hamilton explained in August 2019, when asked by Efe what he did. it suggested the idea of ​​sporting immortality, after signing the eighth victory of that year in Hungary and dealing the psychological blow to what would end up being his sixth World Cup.

Lewis responded to Efe that he still wanted to continue growing with a team he joined in 2013 and with which he has signed the best streak in history, capturing the last seven constructors' titles consecutively.

Everything has been written about Hamilton for a long time.

Of the complicated that were its beginnings;

and the importance that his father,

separated from his mother,

, when the child was two years old,

had in his career, but also in the configuration of his character

.

When the term 'bullying' had not yet been coined, it was he who pointed it out to karate classes, as a defense of bullying.

At least one win a year

They say that

, fulfilling the promise made when Lewis was 10 years old, put him in the McLaren young drivers program three years later, in 1998. After standing out in the lower categories, in 2007 he made his debut with the Woking team, forming a team with

, with whom he maintained a clearly improvable relationship at that time.

That year - which ended like the rosary of dawn - he won four races, the first of them in Montreal (Canada).

And since then, he has not stopped adding at least one victory a year: something that only he has done in F1.

His first crown came in 2008, with McLaren: Black, Hamilton had become the

of F1, a sport that, like golf, moves huge amounts of money.

At the time, he claimed that he had McLaren "in his blood", but the Woking team had a surname, that of his motorist, Mercedes;

And after signing with the Brackley team, a signing in which Austrian

triple world champion, who died in 2019 -

played a decisive role

, the English star is writing with that team the brightest pages of his outstanding career.

Hamilton, with the W11, on Sunday at Istanbul Park.

That signing was questioned by those who were totally wrong: Hamilton won the World Cup a year later, in Abu Dhabi, and defended the crown in 2015, again in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

After handing over 2016 to his then-partner and 'intimate enemy'

, he celebrated those of 2017 and 2018 in Mexico - where he equaled the five titles of

, the great champion of the 1950s - and that of last year in United States, where the record of the Argentine star improved.

"Still I Rise"

Faithful representative of the 'star system', Hamilton lavishes on social networks, designs a fashion line;

And she looks without complexes the most extravagant models, striking necklaces and earrings.

His skin is full of tattoos, among which his main motto stands out, that of resilience.

The one that says "Still I Rise".

Which comes to say something like "In spite of everything, I resurface."

Hamilton reaches sports eternity the year in which he has shown his most vindictive profile, aboard his dominant 'silver arrow', in black this year: against racism.

The World Cup of the pandemic began a month after the murder by the Minneapolis (Minnesota) police of

, an African-American whose death promoted the

movement

, which points out the -obvious- importance of the lives of the people of black race, seconded by many sports stars and in F1 found its main supporter in English.

Hamilton was the promoter of the minutes of silence, in which he also led the group that knelt during them.

And at the Tuscany GP he celebrated his victory by taking the podium with a protest shirt calling for the imprisonment of "the 'cops' who murdered

", another African-American who died during a shooting in Wisconsin.

A type of celebration that the FIA ​​soon after banned.

Defender of 'clean' energies and ecology, he did not hesitate to share that his dog

, the bulldog who accompanies him very often on the circuits, likes the vegan diet that he himself designed.

The eccentric Lewis was already unique.

Now he is immortal.
