Lewis Hamilton

The most statistically successful driver in F1 history, seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton stunned the sport by joining Ferrari, chasing a record eighth title in the most iconic red in motorsport. His combination of racecraft, tyre management and big-race temperament remains formidable deep into his career.

2026's clean-sheet regulations reset the order just as Hamilton settles into Maranello, giving him a real shot at rewriting the record books. Alongside Charles Leclerc, the internal benchmark alone makes Ferrari the season's most watched garage.
